DOWCAL Annual Fluid Analysis

Annual Fluid Analysis & Shipping Kits

DOWCAL fluid is only available used in Europe.

The free Fluid Analysis Program is offered to qualified customers currently using Dow heat transfer fluids and coolants. A customer qualifies for this program if the sample being submitted comes from a system which contains the following Dow products and volumes:  

Product Volume
DOWCAL heat transfer fluid 10 MT of concentrate

The purpose of this program is to track the performance of DOWCAL™ fluid over time and to minimize unnecessary operational and fluid replacement costs. Dow’s fluid testing is the most comprehensive fluid analysis and reporting. Regular analysis and fluid maintenance support increases system reliability, reduces down time and costs. Customers who wish to have a Fluid Analysis conducted on a system that is smaller in volume than the free analysis volume requirement will be charged a $200 fee.

A summary of the tests performed can be found on links on the left.

This convenient service helps you to avoid problems including:

  • Inadequate heating/cooling performance
  • Inefficient operation and high operating cost
  • System fouling, component damage
  • Lost productivity due to unscheduled downtime
  • Unplanned cleaning and maintenance expense
  • Higher than normal makeup fluid requirements
  • Premature fluid changeout and resulting replacement expense.

On Site Tests

There are a few tests that can be done at your site as part of periodic maintenance. Instructions on conducting a pH test, how to adjust pH, conducting a sediment test (and how to filter) can be found in the Answer Center.
