Well, if we could use a half size radiator and reduce the frontal area of a
formula racecar by increasing the effectiveness of the cooling system and you
need to increase the cooling capabilities of a liquid cooled transmitting
tube using a similar cooling system the SAME product would be useful in both
applications.In both applications you are trying to increase the heat transfer
into and out of a liquid. You don't really need a
USE-IN-TRANSMITTING-TUBES-ONLY label on a product to use it in a liquid
cooled tube.. I believe this
is useful to the discussion.
I just use distilled water in the tubes of our welders

I can't remember the name of the product, may have been called "Water
Wetter" but it is made by the Red Line lubricant company for use in race
car cooling systems,using it really made a difference in heat transfer in
race car cooling systems. It should still be available in a well stocked
hot rod shop.

Fwiw, I don't know what temps are being looked at here, but if the need to
raise the boiling point is necessary, for each pound of pressure placed
upon a closed system, the boiling point of the water is raised by 3
degrees.
Water as I recall is the best conductor of heat, when ethylene glycol
(anti-freeze) is added the temperature absorption of the liquid is reduced.
All of the chemist out there, correct me if I am wrong.
