Market Overview
The Heat Transfer Fluid Market is projected to reach at a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
Increasing product demand to transfer heat from collectors to generators in concentrated solar power, due to the high-temperature stability of heat transfer fluids is increasingly used in cooling systems. Stringent environmental regulations regarding toxicity, the biodegradability of these products, and instability in raw material availability, fluctuations in crude oil prices are a few factors hindering the growth of this market. Fluids that are chemically stable, environmentally safe, and highly soluble in mineral oil are being manufactured. A new class of glycol, trimethylene glycol which is thermally more durable and ecologically secure, made by way of bioprocessing is rapidly being used. Georgia Institute of Technology published in 2018 that liquid tin can be used as a heat transfer agent in CSP.
