That water wetter is interesting I read the tech info on it, I never realized that glycol coolant / antifreeze actually was less conductive than regular water.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">removal of heat from an aluminum bar at 304°F by
quenching the bar in different coolants at 214°F under
15 psi pressure. Compare the time required to reduce
the temperature of the aluminum to 250°F, or the boiling
point of water at 15 psi. Red Line with
WaterWetter® required 3.2 seconds, water alone 3.7
sec, 50/50 glycol in water required 10.2 sec, and
100% glycol required 21 sec. Water alone required
15% longer, 50/50 glycol 220% longer, and 100% glycol
required 550% longer.</div></div>

Cool Stuff! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
