heat transfer fluids

Heat transfer fluids are liquids or gases used to efficiently transfer thermal energy from one area to another in systems like heating, cooling, or industrial processes. They absorb heat from a source, such as a heated surface or reactor, and carry it to a target location, like a heat exchanger or storage tank. Common fluids include water, oils, or specialized liquids designed to operate at high temperatures. Their effectiveness depends on their thermal conductivity, heat capacity, and stability under operating conditions, ensuring safe and efficient energy transfer in various applications.
