What Is Liquid Cooling?

Liquid coolant ^[1] , also known as liquid heat carrier, is a coolant in the form of a liquid. A coolant is a fluid that flows through or around a system to prevent the system from overheating. It uses or dissipates heat by transmitting the heat generated by the system to other systems. Commonly used are light water, heavy water and liquid metal sodium. Entries introduced the details of light water, heavy water, and liquid sodium as liquid coolants.

A coolant is a fluid that flows through or around a system to prevent the system from overheating. It uses or consumes heat by transferring the heat generated by the system to other systems. The ideal coolant has high heat capacity, low viscosity, cheap, non-toxic, chemically inert, neither corrosive nor promote corrosion. Certain coolant applications also require insulation.

Coolant is also called heat carrier. Its role is to direct the heat generated by nuclear fission inside the reactor out of the reactor, and also serve as a carrier for fluid fuel in the uniform reactor. The liquid coolant refers to a coolant in a liquid form. Commonly used are light water, heavy water and liquid metal sodium ^[2]

Water consisting of H atoms having a relative molecular mass of 1 and O atoms having a relative molecular mass of 16. Its relative molecular mass is 18. In addition, there is water with a relative molecular mass of 20, 22, and the like. In the middle school chemistry stage, called light water ^[3]

Heavy water ^[3]
