Jeil Steel Promotes Development of Industrial Cooling Water Using Graphene

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Jeil Steel announced on the 1st that it is promoting the development of Graphene Process Cooling Water for industrial processes using graphene.

Cooling water is required in various industrial processes such as power plants, petrochemical plants, steel mills, and semiconductor production lines. Cooling water utilizing graphene can compensate for the low thermal conductivity and heat absorption rate of conventional mixed antifreeze cooling water. It can achieve cooling efficiency more than 10% higher than existing products, attracting attention as next-generation industrial process cooling water.

To actively develop graphene cooling water for industrial processes, Jeil Steel plans to recruit graphene-related experts. Two PhDs will be appointed as advisors related to Jeil Steel’s graphene business, and key personnel will be secured.

Meanwhile, as emission regulations for ships are becoming increasingly stringent, Jeil Steel also plans to develop graphene-added cooling water for ships as well as graphene cooling water for industrial processes.

Internal combustion engines in ships and automobiles using cooling water adopt a heat exchange method that uses forced air circulation to cool the high-temperature fluid delivered through the cooling water line. The cooling efficiency of ship cooling water is directly linked to emission reduction and fuel savings. Jeil Steel expects that the development of graphene cooling water for ships will significantly reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

A company official stated, “Jeil Steel has decided to enter the graphene cooling water market following the advanced graphene component new material business as a new growth engine. As we are promoting the establishment of a research institute for advanced graphene component materials, we expect to achieve meaningful results in both the graphene advanced component material business and the cooling water business, which have been expanded as new growth drivers.”
