Water
Water is utilized for heat transfer because of its unique structure, high heat capacity, surface tension, adhesion properties, low viscosity, and phase characteristics. All of these offer a significant advantage in the ability to increase efficiency and limit utility usage. The main disadvantage, though, for water is that it is a great solvent and is able to dissolve any substance it comes in contact with. It will readily corrode metals and other compounds it interacts with. This ability to dissolve makes the quality and chemistry of water different across the world. These differences can impact how water performs in heat transfer systems with varying results. (Scale, Corrosion, Microbiological Growth, Fouling, etc.)
