Solar thermal fluids – why it is so important to choose the right fluid

In ۲۰۱۱ the global heat transfer (HTF) market was estimated to be worth ۱,۶۸۴ and is projected to be worth ۲,۵۵۷ million by ۲۰۱۷. The generation of energy from the solar sector is one area that is growing with a projected output of ۶۳۰ GW by ۲۰۵۰. In the concentrated closer power (CSP) sector, the most commonly used HTF is the eutectic mixture of biphenyl diphenyl oxide (BDO). The chemistry of this fluid means that CSP plants can operate up to ۴۰۰ degrees Celsius. However, this is not the only key feature of a HTF as other parameters need to be considered. This article discusses the key features of a BDO fluid.In ۲۰۱۱ the global heat transfer (HTF) market was estimated to be worth ۱,۶۸۴ and is projected to be worth ۲,۵۵۷ million by ۲۰۱۷.
