Buonasera, non riesco a tradurre questo termine mezzi refrigeranti.
vi indico la frase in cui il termine è collocato:
Gli scambiatori di calore sono semilavorati progettati per funzionare con fluidi frigoriferi o mezzi refrigeranti.
Che cosa si intende per mezzi refrigeranti? Come potrei rendere questo termine in lingua inglese.
Grazie in anticipo per i suggerimenti
e buon lavoro a tutti coloro che anche adesso stanno lavorando ;=)))

coolants (refrigerant)
Coolant is the most general term for all sorts of media, which flows through or around a device to prevent its overheating.
Quote from the Wikipedia article below: "The coolant can either keep its phase and stay liquid or gaseous, or can undergo a phase transition, with the latent heat adding to the cooling efficiency. The latter, when used to achieve low temperatures, is more commonly known as refrigerant."
BTW. mezzi refrigeranti above is used as an alternative to fluidi frigoriferi, although fluidi (fluids) is only one of all the possible coolants.

Example sentence:
Air is a common form of a coolant.
The most common coolant is water.
