Session description

Industrial refrigeration systems are facing increasing demands regarding energy efficiency, safety, sustainability, and operational reliability. At the same time, the transition toward low-GWP refrigerants and reduced refrigerant charge is accelerating the adoption of indirect refrigeration systems. 
This presentation explores how modern heat transfer fluids can play a critical role in improving total system performance in industrial cooling applications. The session compares traditional glycol-based fluids with newer high-performance secondary refrigerants and discuss how fluid properties such as viscosity, thermal conductivity, and volumetric heat capacity influence pump energy, heat exchanger sizing, and overall system efficiency.
