Operating A Hot Oil Heat Transfer Fluid Syst
Shut your heater or heat source off and let your pump continue to circulate the oil through the system. You need to remove all the residual heat from the system as well as let the oil cool down. Once the oil is at a safe temperature to drain from your system, shut off the pump and allow fluid to stop circulating.
