The Global Secondary Refrigerants Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Secondary Refrigerants Market Definition

Secondary refrigerants are liquids that are used to transmit heat from the being cooled substance to the heat exchanger, where it is absorbed by the primary refrigerant. Generally, secondary refrigerants are non-toxic, non-corrosive, inexpensive, incombustible, and chemically stable and they have properties such as high specific heat, excellent heat transfer characteristics, low viscosity, and are safer to use and help to reduce environmentally-harmful impacts.

Secondary refrigerants such as calcium chloride brine, propylene glycols, and oils are used in various low-temperature applications like industrial refrigeration, commercial refrigeration, heat pumps, and others whereas chilled water is used as a secondary refrigerant in high-temperature applications like air conditioning. Moreover, they are used in minimizing pressure losses in the vapor compression cycle to increase efficiency and they are widely used in various end user industries such as oil and gas, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, chemical, and plastics, among others.
