Publication number: 20210368653Abstract: A heat transfer medium is used for a heat transfer system including a refrigerant cycle device through which a refrigerant circulates and a heat transfer medium circuit having an electric device. The medium includes an anhydrous liquid that does not contain water and is made of a substance having a polarity less than water. The anhydrous liquid is cooled by heat exchange with the refrigerant and absorbs heat from the electric device while circulating through the heat transfer medium circuit. Accordingly, the low viscosity of the heat transfer medium at a low temperature can be secured. Further, by using an anhydrous liquid without water as the heat transfer medium, it is possible to suppress an increase in an electrical conductivity of the heat transfer medium over time.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2021Publication date: November 25, 2021Inventors: Takuya FUSE, Kouji INAGAKI, Kenji NAKAMURA, Teru YAMADA, Kazumi SUZUKI
