! CAUTION
The reservoir tank must be vented to prevent pressurization.
A pressurized reservoir could rupture, allowing hot fluid
to escape and become a potential fire and slip hazard.
Note: Heat transfer fluids expand when heated. Expansion
rates vary, depending on fluid types and temperatures.
For more information on expansion rates, refer to
specification information for the heat transfer fluid you
select.
Generally, most heat transfer fluids expand at the rate of
2.5% for every increase of 50°F/°C from temperatures
above 60°F (16°C).
