Hot spring equipment uses refrigerants, colloquially known as coolants, to dissipate or collect heat. Refrigerants are crucial fluids for raising the temperature of hot spring water and for secondary coolant processes. Because reputable hot spring equipment requires a primary cooling and secondary heating process after obtaining the hot spring water source, these two processes require refrigerants with different properties to complete the heat absorption and release process. So, what are the characteristics of the refrigerants required for hot spring equipment?

Hot spring equipment Cooling media, commonly known as refrigerants, are needed to dissipate or collect heat. Refrigerants are important fluids for raising the temperature of hot spring water and secondary coolant. Because reputable hot spring equipment requires a primary cooling and secondary heating process after obtaining the hot spring water source, these two processes require refrigerants of different properties to complete the heat absorption and release process. So, what are the characteristics of the refrigerant required for hot spring equipment?

1 Higher evaporation pressure

Higher evaporation pressure requires that the refrigerant liquid will not undergo a simultaneous evaporation reaction under the pressure of the equipment's evaporation temperature. This not only requires the design manufacturer to test the evaporation temperature of the machine itself during development and select a suitable refrigerant using the evaporation temperature as the lower limit temperature, but also ensures that it will not be chemically affected by the evaporation temperature generated during equipment operation.

2 Higher latent heat capacity

Higher latent heat capacity actually describes how much heat a refrigerant can store, that is, the ability of the refrigerant to store latent heat when circulating in the system. Since the refrigerant needs to first absorb heat from the evaporator and then release it, it needs to maintain the heat level during heat absorption as much as possible during transportation after heat absorption, and thus maintain a larger amount of heat storage during condensation and heat release.

3 Stable chemical properties

Stable chemical properties describe the physical state of the refrigerant when operating in the system. Since the refrigerant is essentially an intermediary substance for heat transfer, it does not need to undergo a chemical reaction with it. Moreover, the refrigerant needs to maintain stable physical properties during the flow process in the system to perform the heat absorption and release function, so the refrigerant needs to have stable chemical properties and only exert the functions brought about by its physical properties.

The refrigerant required for hot spring equipment has characteristics such as higher evaporation pressure, higher latent heat capacity, and stable chemical properties. Reliable hot spring equipment is very demanding on the characteristics of the refrigerant and its matching with the equipment itself. The refrigerant used in different stages needs to be adjusted according to the equipment function and hot and cold environment to reduce temperature loss of the refrigerant.
