Heat transfer fluid is a gas or liquid which used to maintain the temperature in the system by circulating or transferring heat from one end to other end of the system. These fluids can be referred as coolant and are used to reduce or regulate the system temperature. It offers key performance characteristics such as low viscosity, non-corrosive nature, high thermal conductivity & diffusivity, and extreme phase transition temperatures. Heat transfer fluid mainly categories as, mineral oils, synthetic aromatics & silicones, and glycols. Synthetic aromatics promises higher thermal stability, superior radiation resistance, and better durable properties than others fluids. It also enhanced lubricity at different temperatures. The mineral oils operate with 320C whereas synthetic at 400C.The mineral oils mostly originated from petroleum/crude oils.
Heat transfer fluids are commonly used in air conditioners, refrigerators, and heat pumps mainly in end-use industries, such as chemical, oil, gas & bio-diesel production industries, automotive, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, and HVAC.
