Fluids & Cooling Methods
The fluid running through your chiller system matters just as much as the chiller itself. Glycol concentration, water purity, and heat transfer method all affect cooling efficiency, freeze protection, and equipment longevity. These articles cover everything from glycol basics and fluid selection to how heat exchangers and heat sinks integrate with your process cooling loop. Understanding your fluid options helps you optimize performance and prevent costly system issues.
