SecCool

SecCool is a program for calculating, comparing and plotting thermophysical properties of secondary refrigerants.

About the project

About the project

SecCool is a package of programs consisting of three parts:

  • SecCool Properties. Program with user interface, allowing to calculate fluid properties with different concentrations, calculating friction and pressure drops in secondary side piping systems, and comparing different fluids.
  • SecCool Datafit. Program for adding new secondary refrigerants to the package
  • SecCool API. Two Windows 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs which can be used in your own programs, one DLL specifically for EES (Engineering Equation Solver, by F-Chart Software), and one general-purpose DLL.

The SecCool package is developed as part of the project DESIK (Energirigtig design og regulering af sekundærsiden på indirekte køleanlæg med naturlige kølemidler) financed by ELFORSK R&D (#334-001). The project period was from 2003-04-01 to 2005-12-31. Maintenance and hosting of the project since then has been done by IPU.

In most cases, the 64-bit version of SecCool is the standard choice, which requires 64-bit Windows, and allows integration with 64-bit software such as Excel, Matlab, EES64 etc.

…with feedback

For maintaining and improving the product, your feedback as a user is very important to us.

…with data

If you are missing specific fluids, or are a manufacturer and would like your fluid data to be included in a new SecCool version, please get in touch. We can both assist with generating fluid files, or verify and include fluid files generated by yourselves with the SecCool Datafit tool.
