Does anyone know of a brine solution that can be used to cool nitric acid but will not react with it to cause a nasty mixture if it were to breach the cooling pipes/coils.

We are currently using Sodium Nitrate brine but can not take it below -16 C because it will come out of sloution and freeze the unit. This gives us an outlet temperature of -10 C.

A target outgoing temperature of -15 C would be ideal.

Thanks
