The discussion focuses on identifying suitable working fluids for a waste heat recovery system with a boiling point between 150-180°F (approximately 65.6-82.2°C). Participants emphasize the need for fluids that are minimally flammable, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly. The working pressure for the system is set at 1 ATM, with considerations for lower pressures if water is used as the working fluid. The specified boiling point range aligns with the facility's operational temperature for effective waste heat recovery.

What working pressure?chemisthypnos said:I am looking for a good working fluid whose boiling point is in the range of 150-180 F for a waste heat recovery system. The fluid should be minimally flammable, preferably nontoxic, and low in environmental impact. Does anyone know of any working fluids that match this description?
