Beneficial area
If design pressure of <10 BarG is preferred
Where fresh water is scarce (e.g. desert)
Cold climate where water could freeze (e.g. Sakhalin Island)
Where precise temperature control is required (e.g. fiber spinning)
For distributed multiple heat demands

This is using the Fluidfile software and the basic instruction of using Fluidfile. In this
software, there are section on about Dow fluids and Calculate fluid properties
This is the Calculate Fluid Properties of various HTF. The properties can be
a temp range and easily transferred to excel spreadsheet.
