Getting to know water-based heat transfer fluids
December 10th, 2025
Water is an excellent heat transfer fluid; it is used to cool industrial processes and to generate steam for almost all thermal power generation. Water molecules are small, but bond strongly in all directions to give a dense and compact structure. This density and strong bonding means that water can carry a lot of energy without boiling at low temperatures. In...
