Abstract
This chapter presents information and criteria for designing closed loop heat transfer systems. Guidance is given for selecting heat transfer fluids (HTF). Aqueous, hydrocarbon, and silicone based heat transfer fluids are compared. Equations are given for calculating the heat transfer coefficient. Properties for many commercially available fluids are given in a unique format that pictures usable temperature range, heat transfer performance, and flash point together for easy comparison and preliminary selection. System design rules of thumb are listed. Three system configurations, utilizing one, two, or three loops at different temperatures, are discussed and compared. Correlated properties of heat transfer fluids are tabulated.
