Heat Transfer Fluids Calculators

FLUIDFILE™ Software is designed to enable fast, efficient evaluation of the properties and performance of Dow heat transfer fluids under your actual system conditions, and in the units of measure you prefer. It makes choosing the right fluid easier and more convenient for both experienced professionals and first-time system designers.

You won’t need prior experience with Dow Heat Transfer Fluids to obtain the information you need to select the right fluid. To assist in your fluid decision-making, FLUIDFILE provides an overview of our fluids line, guidance in choosing a fluid chemistry including application information, plus profiles of the individual fluids.

Glycol-based heat transfer fluids

Our glycol-based fluids are for use in water-based systems operating as high as 175°C (350°F).

Ethylene Glycol Fluids (EG)

In most applications, EG-based fluids are preferred because of their lower cost as well as lower viscosity and resulting superior heat transfer efficiency and pumping power. For cold systems, you can use ~2% less EG than PG to achieve the same freeze protection.

Propylene Glycol Fluids (PG)

PG fluids are most commonly used in applications requiring low acute oral toxicity, in food applications or where incidental contact with drinking water is possible. In some areas, use of PG fluids is required by local regulations.
