THE SELECTION OF HEAT TRANSFER FLUID IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE DESIGN OF THE HEATING SYSTEM
Heat transfer fluids are liquids or gases that are used to transfer heat from one location to another in heating, cooling, and power generation systems. They are chosen based on their thermal properties, such as thermal conductivity and specific heat, as well as their compatibility with the system and the operating conditions. Common heat transfer fluids include water, oil, and glycol mixtures. In some cases, specialized fluids such as silicon oil or molten salts may be used for specific applications.
