cold energy dispersion
Explanation:
The reason for choosing cold energy, (despite the quantity and nature of the very convincing explanations of Kaeltemittel as refigerant, cooling fluid, etc), is due to the mention of the fittings and insulation material. I can't see how the fluid can be distributed through these parts, (it is normally isolated and contained within a closed system via the steel tubes mentioned, oder?) I think the sentance elludes to the dispersion of the cold, (w-w/o energy mentioned), through these components.

chilled fluid (water) distribution


Explanation:
'Coldness' is usually distributed through a fluid, mostly water.
Coolant is incorrect, as it is normally at ambient temperature, such as coolant in a car engine.

I fail to see why the refrigerant inside the machine should be distributed; it is in a loop inside the machine. Refrigeration machines produce \'coldness\' for a purpose, and in larger installations (high rise bldgs., factories) it needs to be distributed. I have seen it!

agree  gangels (X): good point. How about "ventilation"?. Distribution sounds silly, but "overall ventilation" perhaps

  -> It should be a fluid because it is conveyed in pipes. However, further context is required to make sure whether it is the refrigerant fluid inside the refrigeration machine or a chilled fluid which is the product of refrigeration.

refridgerant


Explanation:
i suppose they are talking about heat transfer media such as CFC's ,brine,ammonia etc.
