Carboxylate salts of amines are used as components of heat exchange fluids. The amines may have a ratio of N to C of 1:0 to 1:12 and the carboxylate anion may be derived from an acid of the formula H(CH<SUB>2</SUB>)<SUB>0-3</SUB>COOH. A preferred monoamine heat exchange fluid utilizes triethanolamine formate. Lower carboxylate salts of diamines and triamines having the formula R<SUB>2</SUB>[N[(CH<SUB>2</SUB>)<SUB>m</SUB>NR]<SUB>1-2</SUB>]R where each R is independently selected from moieties of the formula -C<SUB>n</SUB>H<SUB>2n+1 </SUB>and moieties of the formula H[O(CH<SUB>2</SUB>)<SUB>1-4</SUB>]-, each m is independently a number from 1 to 6, and each n is a number from 1 to 4, are disclosed as compounds.
