Re: Car Antifreeze????
One note about automotive antifreeze and I suspect I'll hear flak, but it actually lowers the ability of water to dissipate heat, In marine and heavy truck applications we have in the past removed the coolant and went with straight water with a rust inhibitor to cool problem applications 671TT Detroits in marine applications where famous for the problem,
as were some generator sets with Caterpillar engines. In trucks and cars it would be done to make something runnable with a plugged radiator while one was on order or to finish a trip.
So my question is if it's not in danger of freezing like a car why use it?
Could the water cooling fluids be nonconductive?
