Physics
As in 'liquide caloporteur'
'Coolant' has been given in Kudoz answers already
However, in my example, the liquid transfers heat to the perfusate. I don't think 'warmant' would do, somehow
The GDT gives 'heat transfer fluid' which is fine but a bit cumbersome. Are there any alternatives?
Thanks

heating fluid, heat transfer oil
Interestingly, those are the TWO terms given for "fluide caloporteur" in the HVAC Dictionary of the Federation of European Heating and Air Conditioning Associations.
They also give "FRIGOporteur", a word I have never encountered in anger, and THAT is given as "coolant".

Note from asker:
| thanks bourth. frigoporteur sounds the wrong way to me as well. maybe it's a inordinately concise way of saying 'fluide porteur d'énérgie thermique dans un frigo'... |

: I'd go for Andy's "heat transfer fluid". "heating fluid" is too specific (it heats and cools simultaneously in a transfer), and we're not sure it's an oil.

Comment: "I'll stick with heat transfer for "caloporteur", which as Rachel pointed out, is not necessarily an oil. "

Will this fill your requirement?

: Strictly speaking, the fact that it is 'caloporteur' does NOT necessarily imply that it is a good conductor of heat, just that it has a high specific heat capacity; but sadly, the term 'conductor' is often used inaccurately!

I think this is prob. the best term -
Yes, I'd rather like the term "coolth" sometimes - cf. warmth - but it doesn't really exist ;-)
