Water is far easier to clean up, leaves less mess, and is more efficient
at heat transfer. The vapor phase cooling used in computer CPU cooling
is efficient, but less tolerant of leaks, difficult to charge, and works
at lower temps..
Vapor phase water cooling is very efficient (already covered by another
poster) for tubes as vaporizing 1 gram (1 cc) of water uses 539 calories
(at 100 C - too hot for SS), while heating or cooling water 1 deg C
takes 1 calorie.
Vapor phase cooling has no moving parts except for a fan(s) at the radiator.

How about instead of "Water" use Mineral or transformer oil?
Less chance of contamination...

heat sinks, and machines nice copper spreader plates if you don't have
access to a milling machine
