Heat transfer properties of water and propylene-glycol as heat carries in air conditioning systems in mines

Abstract

These types of fluids, more commonly known by their brand names, Fluorinert ™ and Galden ™ , are solvents originally intended for industrial cleaning such as vapor degreasing. They have also found a use as a coolant in some TCU applications that require a non-conductive fluid or one that does not leave a residue in case of a leak.
