Argonne National Laboratory under sponsorship of the US DOE Office of Buildings and Community Systems has embarked upon a comprehensive program to develop high performance energy transmission fluids for use in district Heating and cooling (DHC) Systems. These fluids would substantially reduce flow frictional losses and enhance heat transfer. The fluids have been shown in system enhancement scoping studies conducted by ANL to yield potentially significant upfront capital equipment cost reductions by allowing the use of smaller pipes, pumps and heat exchangers as well as reductions in operational costs.
