Seminar 57 -- Hot Topics for Secondary Coolants (Brines)

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

In many refrigeration applications, heat is transferred to a secondary coolant, which is used to transfer heat without changing state. There are a variety liquids that can be used and these are known also as heat transfer fluids, brines, or secondary refrigerants. This seminar presents helpful engineering and operating guidance for three different types of secondary coolants: aqueous ammonia, calcium chloride and glycols.
