Designing heat distribution with slurries. Paraffin-water mixtures transport heating and cooling energy.

In heating and cooling systems, water is mostly used for transporting heat. For special applications, dispersions of paraffin and water could carry out this task more efficiently. These so-called slurries achieve high heat capacities within a narrow temperature range. Scientists at RWTH Aachen are simulating the complex behaviour of the fluids in hydraulic networks. With new simulation models they are investigating possible uses – ranging from underfloor heating in family homes to district heating networks.
