On June 25, 2020, Gao, Zhisheng; Dance, Smruti A.; Taggi, Andrew E.; Bair, Joseph S. published a patent.Application of 78-26-2 The title of the patent was Low viscosity heat transfer fluids with increasing flash point and thermal conductivity. And the patent contained the following:
This disclosure relates to a heat transfer fluid having at least one first ester that is partially esterified, and at least one second ester that is fully esterified. The heat transfer fluid has a flash point from about 125°C to about 225°C as determined by ASTM D-93, and a kinematic viscosity (KV100) from about 1 to about 5 at 100°C as determined by ASTM D-445. The at least one first ester and the at least one second ester are present in an amount such that, as the flash point and thermal conductivity of the heat transfer fluid are increased, the kinematic viscosity (KV100) of the heat transfer fluid is decreased or essentially maintained. This disclosure also relates to a method for increasing flash point and thermal conductivity, while decreasing or essentially maintaining viscosity, of a heat transfer fluid by using the heat transfer fluid. The experimental process involved the reaction of 2-Methyl-2-propylpropane-1,3-diol(cas: 78-26-2).Application of 78-26-2
