Résumé

Aqueous solutions of ethylene glycol are commonly used as secondary fluids in different indirect refrigeration systems and heat pumps as well as nanofluids. A very extensive literature review has been done, including more than 90 references published from 1905 to 2023. Despite the wide application and importance, especially in the energy sector, ethylene glycol solutions seem to be less investigated in low temperature ranges and more research is required to improve the quality and quantity of available data. The novelty of this paper is to investigate the most important thermophysical properties of ethylene glycol solutions in low temperatures. In this study a different approach was made and solutions having a specific freezing point temperature (between -5 and -50 ºC) rather than specific concentration were investigates in temperature ranges applicable for different cooling applications. The concentrations giving a certain freezing point temperature seemed to deviate in some cases with 1–2 wt-% between different sources. Nevertheless, the density results were in rather good agreement with all reference data. The viscosity results were lower by up to ±10% compared to reference values. Additionally, the obtained experimental results for thermal conductivity were higher by up to 12% compared to ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) data. The specific heat capacity results were higher by up to 14.6% and 5.4% than current reference data. There is a high probability that the current ASHRAE data for specific heat are actually indirectly calculated values from thermal conductivity data and not validated using differential scanning calorimetry techniques.
