    I can see an application in computer systems, Its coefficient of cubical expansion may be a problem.

    In HVAC, Thermal mass, speed of transfer vs temperature difference would be the major factor, along with cost of up to 1,000 gallons in a commercial system.
    I can see a lot of problems due to control of heat vs load. For example, As 1,000 people enter a theatre the auditorium heating load drops by 100,Kw, Cooling would be a nightmare, mainly due to variable sensible vs latent load, (with a total of 96 tons, for the above theatre).

    Geometry and dimension squeezing play a key role. Some 2d materials are capable of squeezing quantum interactions into a 3d fractal dimension, above and below them. Theoretically, there are 3d configurations as well, but the physics are still being explored.

    My question was, is the product only designed for IT use.
    At the extreme end of the scale, if it could conduct 500 megawatts over half a mile every hour, with a contact heating temperature in excess of 1,500 degrees, it could revolutionise the design of nuclear power stations. To date, every disaster has resulted from failure of the reactor core cooling.
    The fluid could remain static, removing the need for 2,000 Horsepower of pumping.

    The most recent fusion reactor success produced twice the power, without radiation, and the only reason they're building new fission reactors, is because they're selling the technology cheap, before it becomes obsolete. The only reason we built them in the first place, was to make weapons, and that's about all they're good for these days.
