I am researching the potential effects of cooling down resistors in a bath of an oil based solvent (isopar) which is a static accumulator. The flash point of this chemical is 145 F. The radiant heat will be anywhere between 110-125F. My concern is the static accumulator characteristic of this chemical and whether the added radiant heat may, in conjunction with static accumulation, present an explosive concern. If anyone has any information and input i would greatly appreciate it. thanks

Lou
