SecCool for Windows

Product overview

SecCool is a comprehensive software suite for evaluating and visualizing thermophysical data for secondary refrigerants. It combines calculation tools, data-import capabilities, and integration libraries to help engineers model fluid properties, hydraulic resistance, and temperature-dependent behavior in cooling systems.

Main modules and what they do

• SecCool API — A set of dynamic-link libraries that let other applications call SecCool routines (for example, linking with equation solvers or custom engineering tools) to retrieve property data and perform calculations programmatically.
• SecCool Datafit — A utility for adding new refrigerants and fitting experimental property data so the suite can handle custom or emerging fluids.
• SecCool Properties — The graphical and command-line interfaces used to compute fluid thermophysical properties, estimate pipe friction and pressure losses, and produce plots for comparison and analysis.

Availability and licensing

The software runs on Windows and is distributed at no cost, making it easy for organizations and individuals to adopt without upfront licensing fees. This accessibility supports broad use across academic, consulting, and industrial environments.

Benefits for practitioners

Designers and researchers use SecCool to compare refrigerant candidates, optimize secondary-loop performance, and support energy-efficient cooling strategies. Its detailed property computations and plotting features assist in validating designs and documenting performance.

Alternative option

A commonly cited free alternative is SHAREit; while it is available without charge, its core functionality differs from SecCool’s specialized thermophysical and HVAC calculation capabilities.
