CHEMICAL, PHYSICAL AND ENGINEERING PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF A NEW FAMILY OF PERFLUORINATED FLUIDS

Abstract

A new class of high temperature fluids, has been extensively investigated to determine its potential in the area of advanced lubrication and energy transfer. The fluids have exhibited excellent high temperature oxidative stability, a broad fluid range, good lubricity, and a high degree of fire- resistance; thereby, making them promising candidates for aerospace systems of the future. In the design of future systems some shortcomings of these perfluorinated polymeric materials must be considered; namely, corrosion of certain metal alloys at high temperatures and their relatively high density.
