Vaporizable Dielectric Fluids<br />
• Available fluids:<br />
• Dupont DP-1<br />
• 3M EMMD Fluoroketones (FK) and Hydrofluoroethers (HFEs):<br />
• Novec<br />
• Solvay Galden<br />
• Others (including other refrigerants in HFC family)<br />
• Certain vaporizable dielectric liquids address Greenhouse Gas (GHG) potential <strong>with</strong><br />
values less than 1.0<br />
• Selection of fluid for <strong>VDF</strong> systems requires consideration for system design:<br />
• Fluid heat capacity (as different from water)<br />
• Pump (type of pump, flow-through lubrication and selection of lubricants, and pump<br />
sizing)<br />
• Condenser (sizing)<br />
• Tubing diameter<br />
