Introduction to water-based and PCM coolants
This document provides guidance on the selection of water-based or PCM Pharmacool® coolants, and details the benefits of both types of Pharmacools based on CSafe qualification methodology.
Both water-based and PCM Pharmacool coolants achieve cooling by changing states or phases, most commonly from a solid to a liquid, a process which absorbs heat. Either type of Pharmacool can be used to maintain the two most common product temperature ranges: +2ºC to +8ºC and +15ºC to +25ºC.
