Abstract
The present application pertains to processes and systems for enhanced heat transfer. In some embodiments a process is described for removing a portion of a chemical from a heat transfer loop comprising a heat transfer fluid. The process may comprise adding a solvent to the heat transfer fluid in the heat transfer loop; removing at least a portion of the heat transfer fluid from the heat transfer loop; separating said removed heat transfer fluid into a permeate and a retentate using a membrane; and adding at least a portion of the permeate to the heat transfer fluid in the heat transfer loop.
Claims15
A process for adding a portion of a chemical to a heat transfer loop comprising a heat transfer fluid wherein the process comprises:
- adding the chemical to the heat transfer fluid in the heat transfer loop;
- removing at least a portion of the heat transfer fluid from the heat transfer loop;
- separating said removed heat transfer fluid into a permeate and a retentate using a membrane;
- and
- adding at least a portion of the retentate to the heat transfer fluid in the heat transfer loop;
- wherein the chemical comprises a glycol polymer, or a polypropylene glycol (PPG), or a polyethylene glycol (PEG), or a block-polymer, or an EO polymer, or a PO polymer, or a glycol ether, or a glycol ether polymer, or a polyol, or any combination thereof.
