Abstract
A heat transfer system is disclosed that includes a heat exchanger comprising an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path through the heat exchanger between the inlet and the outlet. The system also includes a fluid circulation loop external to the heat exchanger connecting the outlet to the inlet. A phase change composition is disposed in the system flowing through the fluid circulation loop and the flow path through the heat exchanger. This the phase change composition includes a first PCM that is a plant or animal or paraffinic oil having a first melting point and a second PCM that is a plant or animal or paraffinic oil having a second melting point lower than the first melting point.
