DOWCAL™ Heat Transfer Fluid

DOWCAL™ heat transfer fluids, developed by Dow Chemical Company, are glycol-based solutions designed for low-temperature and freeze protection. They include propylene glycol-based fluids like DOWCAL™ N, which are suitable for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical uses due to their low toxicity and environmental safety. DOWCAL™ 200, another propylene glycol-based fluid, excels in thermal efficiency and stability, making it ideal for various industrial applications. On the other hand, DOWCAL™ 100, an ethylene glycol-based variant, is crafted specifically for industrial applications such as HVAC, solar, and geothermal systems. These fluids are designed to ensure optimal performance and longevity in harsh environments. DOWCAL™ fluids serve multiple applications, including HVAC systems, refrigeration, solar energy, and geothermal heat pumps, offering numerous benefits. Among these benefits are corrosion inhibition, which protects metal components from degrading and developing leaks; stable thermal performance, which ensures consistent temperature regulation; and enhanced freeze protection, which prevents damage from freezing temperatures. Moreover, by providing reliable thermal transfer, they help reduce energy consumption and maintain system efficiency over time.

Temperature regulation stability: Maintaining precise temperature control across different processes.
Freeze Protection: Systems can be damaged by freezing temperatures, leading to burst pipes and equipment failure.
Corrosion inhibition: Corrosion of metal components in thermal systems can lead to leaks, reduced efficiency, and costly repairs.
Thermal efficiency: Inefficient heat transfer can lead to higher energy consumption and operational costs.
Environmental and safety concerns: Many heat transfer fluids pose environmental hazards and safety risks if they leak or are improperly disposed of.
Thermal degradation and fluid longevity: Thermal fluids can degrade over time, losing their effectiveness and requiring frequent replacement.
Maintenance and operational downtime: Frequent maintenance due to corrosion, scaling, or fluid degradation can lead to operational downtime and increased costs.
