👉 The jacket fluid, also known as the jacket heat transfer fluid or jacket coolant, is a specialized liquid used in various thermal management systems to facilitate heat exchange between a heat source and a heat sink, such as a radiator or cooling tower. Typically, this fluid is designed to have high thermal conductivity and low viscosity to ensure efficient heat transfer. It circulates through a closed loop, absorbing heat from the component it is cooling and transferring it to a heat exchanger where it releases this heat to the surrounding environment. The jacket fluid's properties, including its boiling point, thermal conductivity, and viscosity, are carefully selected to optimize system performance, reliability, and energy efficiency.
