The F-22 Division Modernization Branch (AFLCMC/WAR) is exploring qualified firms to supply a next-generation hydrogenated dielectric cooling fluid made from synthetic hydrocarbon base oil with suitable additives. The market research seeks information on improved heat-transfer capability, recognizing that exact forced-convection calculations depend on system parameters beyond fluid properties. The division is interested in improving one or more fluid properties that correlate with better heat transfer. Current coolant density, thermal conductivity, specific heat, and coefficient of thermal expansion are provided in the RFI attachment.

The F-22 Division Modernization Branch is exploring the market for qualified firms to provide next-generation hydrogenated dielectric cooling fluid. The material would use a synthetic hydrocarbon base oil with suitable additives as needed. This Sources Sought/RFI seeks information on improved heat-transfer capability, focusing on improving fluid properties that correlate with heat transfer rather than calculating exact forced-convection performance alone. Current coolant density, thermal conductivity, specific heat, and coefficient of thermal expansion values are provided in the RFI attachment.
