Property data support Ecotherm forced-air and liquid-cold-plate concept calculations. Water values are engineering interpolations based on standard liquid-water formulations; glycol blends are approximate screening data and must be replaced with the selected coolant supplier's certified properties for final pump, freeze-protection and warranty decisions.
