lämmönvälitysainetta

Lämmönvälitysaine, often translated as heat transfer fluid, is a substance used to transport thermal energy from one location to another. These fluids are crucial in various industrial, commercial, and residential applications where heating or cooling is required. The primary function of a lämmönvälitysaine is to absorb heat from a source and then release it at a desired destination.

Commonly used lämmönvälitysaineita include water, glycol-water mixtures, oils, and specialized synthetic fluids. The choice of fluid depends on several factors, such as the operating temperature range, pressure, corrosion potential, environmental considerations, and cost. Water is a widely used and cost-effective option for many applications, but its freezing point and boiling point limitations can necessitate the use of additives like ethylene glycol or propylene glycol.

In solar thermal systems, lämmönvälitysaineet circulate through collectors to absorb solar radiation and then transfer this heat to a storage tank. In HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, they are used in boilers and chillers to heat or cool buildings. Industrial processes often employ lämmönvälitysaineita for tasks like process heating, cooling of machinery, and in heat exchangers. Maintaining the proper properties and purity of the lämmönvälitysaine is essential for the efficient and safe operation of these systems.
