The present invention provides an apparatus comprising a device and a mechanism for heat transfer comprising a hydrofluoroether heat-transfer fluid wherein the heat transfer fluid is represented by the following structure:
R
f
—O—R
h
—O—R
f
′
wherein: O is oxygen;
R
f
and R
f
′ are, independently, a fluoroaliphatic group, wherein each R
f
and R
f
′ contain 1 hydrogen atom;
R
h
is independently a linear, branched or cyclic alkylene group having from 2 to about 8 carbon atoms and at least 4 hydrogen atoms, and
wherein the hydrofluoroether compound is free of —O—CH
2
—O—. Another embodiment of the present invention is a method therefor.
本发明提供一种装置,包括一个装置和一个传热机制,其中传热流体为氢
