Cooling of molten media processes |
(57) An improvement to processes in which molten materials are handled at elevated temperatures
is described. The improvement is the use of a polyorganosiloxane fluid as a cooling
medium instead of water. This improvement eliminates the safety hazard of steam explosions
which can occur when water is contacted with molten materials at elevated temperatures.
