- Peter -- Which is the better coolant, pure ethylene glycol or pure water? I'm not Peter, but water is the better coolant (as far as absorbing more heat--corrosion is another matter). 73, Roy K6XK ___

- Thanks, Roy. This is doubtless why antifreeze manufacturers caution against using less than a certain percentage of water. Richard L. Measures, AG6K, 805.386.3734. www.somis.org _____________________

- I do not remember the exact temperature but have always been told that when it comes to freeze protection straight antifreeze will actually freeze before a diluted mixture. Here is some other interes

- Even in the tropical climate of Florida, diesel engine manufacturers recommend antifreeze in most engines. This is to raise the boiling point and prevent cavitation at hot spots on the cylinder walls

- As long as this subject is being beaten: There is a product sold for automobile use, where over-heating is a problem, called "water wetter". Instructions say that it will improve the heat-transfer of

- This is true in a pressurized system like an automobile engine. Unless designed specifically for vapor phase cooling (e.g., with a boiler), water cooled tubes should not be operated above 180 degrees

- It can depend on what you're trying to cool. If you have extreme temperatures, such as in a cylinder head, you can get vapour cavitation with water or water/glycol mixtures, which reduces cooling eff
