based on simple heat transfer

Glycol-based heat transfer fluids are widely used in food and beverage cooling systems for several reasons:

* They provide excellent low temperature heat transfer properties.
* They have a wide operating temperature range.
* They are economical to use.
* They do not require extensive or elaborate handling precautions.

neutral Gabrielle Leyden : Just for information, "mere" denigrates the process, whereas "simple" is neutral.
