[Amps] oil vs distilled water cooling.

If it was me, Id use a combo of distilled water  +  water wetter.  The water 
wetter,
added to the distilled water, stops bubbles  forming.  Water wetter is sold 
at any
automotive parts stores.   I use it in both my engine radiator.....and also 
in my roots
type  supercharger on my mustang  V8...  ( intercooler-heat exchanger- 
pump-degas loop). "

Jim,

I still run an old vapor-cooled Alpha 70V and purge/fill it with distilled 
water on an annual basis.  Brand-name distilled water shows very low 
leakage, even at 4KV.   How does adding Water Wetter affect HV leakage? 
Or, are you suggesting its use with water-cooling through an insulated 
jacket?
