Cooling
Air cooling
Setting the scene
Heat transfer fluid cooling (water, glycol water) is commonly used in industry to lower the air temperature inside closed enclosures. The principle is based on the circulation of cold water through a heat exchanger installed in the enclosure, allowing the ambient hot air to transfer its heat by convection. This type of system provides effective thermal regulation without the need to introduce outside air. It is used to maintain the temperature of storage enclosures for heat-sensitive products, to cool electrical cabinets containing electronic components, or in cooling cells used after curing in the manufacture of composites or polymer parts, to accelerate the temperature descent phase.

Liquid cooling
Setting the scene
Heat transfer fluid cooling (water, glycol water) is a solution commonly used in industry to lower the temperature of liquids. The principle is based on the circulation of cold water through a heat exchanger, such as a plate or tube exchanger, or a jacketed tank, enabling the hot liquids to transfer their heat to the cold water by conduction. Heat transfer efficiency will depend on the type of exchanger (or jacket geometry), the cold water flow rate and the physico-chemical characteristics of the liquid to be cooled. This process is used in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors to guarantee reaction stability, for oil cooling in industrial machinery, and in the food industry to guarantee product quality and preservation.

Solid cooling
Setting the scene
Heat transfer fluid cooling (water or glycol water) is an increasingly popular industrial solution for effectively controlling the temperature of solid materials during various processes. The principle is based on the circulation of a heat-transfer fluid directly through or inside the solid, enabling optimum heat transfer and precise management of material temperature. For example, it is used in the aerospace industry when molding composite parts to ensure rapid, uniform cooling, particularly for parts such as fuselage structures or turbine blades. It is also used in injection molding and foundry processes to accelerate solidification while preserving dimensional quality.
