Why brine is used in industrial refrigeration?
A brine solution is silmply water that is combined with diluted salt. It allows the water that is used in chilled water cooling systems to operate a lower tempertures without freezing up. Just like freon (refrigerant) used for residential cooling systems, the chilled water flows through an evaporator coil in which heat is absorbed and to be carried away by the mixture which cools the ambient space. On other applications, an antifreeze, or glycol solution, in the chilled water performs a similar task.
