The Dow Chemical Company : Dow Introduces Next-Generation FLUIDFILE™ Software to Chemical Process Industries

Dow will demonstrate its heat transfer fluids expertise with the introduction of its next-generation FLUIDFILE™ Software, a thermal fluid selection and system engineering tool, to chemical process industries at The 2013 CHEM SHOW. The event is scheduled to take place in New York City on December 10-12. Dow will be exhibiting in booth #144.

The all new program replaces earlier versions of FLUIDFILE™ and now provides up-to-date fluids information and more robust property calculation capabilities to deliver immediate property information specific to user requirements. The program includes properties for DOWTHERM™ synthetic organic fluids, SYLTHERM† silicone fluids, as well as DOWTHERM™, DOWFROST™ and DOWCAL™ inhibited glycol-based fluids. Users specify the region where fluids will be used and the program responds by offering calculations for the full range of fluids available locally.

FLUIDFILE™ calculates properties based on specific system conditions and preferences set by the user, including temperature ranges, pipe or tube diameter, fluid velocity, and units of measure. English (U.S. customary) and SI (international system) units are supported. Users choose specific fluids of interest and may compare properties at a single temperature or across a temperature range.

For chemical, pharmaceutical and plastics processing applications, DOWTHERM™ and SYLTHERM† provide exceptional heat transfer performance and long service life. Dow heat transfer fluids offer the broadest operating range and feature excellent thermal stability. World-scale production and logistics capabilities combined with local sales and technical support enable Dow to meet heat transfer fluid requirements globally.
