HTF fluid thermophysical properties - Pressurized Water

Dear SAM team,

I would like to know the thermophyscal properties of pressurized water which I've searched in your data base and there is no such data. I have found other HTF fluid propeties like Therminol, Hitec or Dowtherm but none info about pressurized water.

I am testing physical parabolic trough by the way. I attached an image from the solar field section for any case.

Kind regards.

Hi Sebastian,

Pressurized water is defined as fluid number 31 in the source code:

The density function is:
