The new liquid viscosity is much lower than the old liquid's (5x lower at 100 deg. F, 2x lower at 300 deg. F). I'm assuming that leads to increased flow which would aid in heat removal. The buffer reservoir heat exchanger runs ambient temperature cooling water through it. As long as the ambient...
An engineer informed me today that we are switching to a "better" type of barrier fluid for our seal pots. We are currently using buffer fluid A. We are proposing to switch to fluid B. If fluid B's thermal conductivity is twice that of fluid A's, and its heat capacity is 30% greater...
