Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Séchoir à lit fluidisé
English term or phrase: Medium
Je dispose pour ce texte d'une TM. Celle-ci me propose pour les termes suvants :

Heating medium
Cooling medium

les termes suivants:

Milieu chauffant
Milieu refroidisseur

Je doute fortement que le terme Medium puisse se traduire par Milieu, ici.

Cependant, je dispose d'un nombre assez important d'occurences sur google.

Quelqu'un peut-il me confirmer cela ?

Merci beaucoup...

agent
Explanation:
J'en doute aussi. La traduction depends du contexte. Par example:
cooling medium => agent ou prouduit réfrigeratrice ou réfroidisseur
heat transfer medium => caloporteur
