Fluorinated liquids can be used for heat exchangers because of the outstanding thermal stability of the liquid even at high temperatures. According to Liatem, a provider of thermal management solutions. Most fluids at those temperatures lose their physical and chemical stability, but this liquid maintains that stability even at the extended temperature of 300\u00b0C. Unlike conventional heat exchange fluids, such as mineral oil, which tend to decompose and oxidize at high temperatures, fluorinated liquid remains completely non volatile and non corrosive. In the case of industrial furnaces requiring heat exchange at a temperature of 250\u00b0C, the fluorinated liquid can reliably circulate through the heat exchanger and transfer heat from the furnace to the cooling systems without degrading. Since this thermal stability is paramount for long-term reliable operation of heat exchange equipment, the maintenance frequency and costs become incredibly low.
The low viscosity of fluorinated liquid for heat exchange plays a critical role to improve the heat exchange efficiency. With the right ratio of heat exchange area to liquid volume, low viscosity fluids that can reach the proper temperature will cover the surface of the exchanger over a wide range of operating conditions. Compared to high viscosity fluids which require greater pumping energy to circulate and establish a required temperature, fluorinated liquids can be pumped through the system at much less energy.
For example, in a data center, a server’s heat exchange system to remove surplus heat using a fluorinated liquid, which absorbs heat and transfers it to cooling units. This remarkable liquid flows efficiently which added with it’s low viscosity ensures that the servers do not overheat and servers perform stagnant operations. The equipment also has minimal concentrate wear to optimized circulation and equipment service life, which adds to the low viscosity.
Touching other electronics like circuit boards and batteries do not corrode or get shorted, which is why the circuitboards using liatem pieces are safely encapsulated in non conductive immersion. And while basic heat exchange is available using air, the immersion system that involves flowing liquid ensures that extremely sensitive electronic pieces are cooled properly. The critical batteries in new vehicles, like old tape decks, are surrounded with that equation defining liquid to efficiently portion the heat evenly among the cells.
Liatem, for instance, emphasizes the fact that, along with a high flash point, a liquid that does not support combustion (often above 150°C) eliminates the risk of fire or explosion, even in contact with high temperature sources of ignition or open flames. In contrast, some organic solvent containing fluids are a fire hazard in high temperature, poorly ventilated regions. In oil refineries, for instance, in which the heat exchange fluid is flammable crude oil, fire accidents caused by fluid leakage are eliminated by the use of a fluorinated liquid. The safety of the workers and the equipment, which is essential for oil refineries and other high risk industrial sites, is provided by the non flammable nature of the liquid. This makes fluorinated liquid non flammable, useful for chemical plants and oil refineries.
Fluorinated liquid for heat exchange is used in closed loop heat exchange systems which is beneficial for conservation of resources and environmental protection. Liatem mentions that closed loop systems confine the liquid within a closed environment, which, when combined with the low toxicity and non biodegradable nature of the fluorinated liquid, greatly reduces the impact of ecosystem and environment protection. Moreover, such a liquid generates less waste and does not require frequent replacement, which enhances environmental protection, due to the long service life (10+ years with maintenance).
Take the case of solar thermal power plants where a closed loop system using a fluorinated liquid transfers heat from solar collectors to power generation where the liquid provides a closed loop coolant, is a replenishable liquid wherein the liquid can be reused for years thus cutting down on waste and the plant’s eco-footprint, This is a closed loop application, and supported by some of the sustainable development goals, which aims at the balancing of the heat exchange effectiveness and the conserving the heat exchange loop for the ecology.
Diverse industry heat exchange needs are offered fluorinated liquid solutions by Liatem. In the first place, the liquids’s fluorinated liquid composition is of differing ratios to suit certain application ranges and also temperature ranges for which for the low temperature friendly environments there is a fully fluorinated liquid which gives low temperature flowability and for the other environments which are of the low temperature wherein polymerization of free radical systems there are also operated devices for high temperature applications polymerization of free radical systems there polymerization of high thermal stability polymerization. Liatem’s technical system support is the lastly provided, Liatem aids in the echanging the equipement for the fluorinated heat exchange system, heat exchanger application, for a data center which the exhaust duct system energy utilization is switched down 20% of from for a 20% increase to cooling effectiveness and energy consumption.
Thanks to its tailored solutions, Liatem’s fluorinated liquid addresses numerous fields, including electronics and heavy industry.
