I appologise if I am in the wrong area.
I was reading about cooling a liquid cooled system using antifreeze. I found it vary interesting.
I was wondering why you could not use windshield washer solvent for liquid in your cooling system? Please do not ask me the chemical make up. Should be inviromentaly safe, doesnt hurt you if you get it on you. Now warning labels if you swallow the stuff.
Algae does not grow in the solvent.
Does not effect rubber hoses or plastics.
Does not stain your skin or clothes.
Does not hardly evaperate.
Should diapate heat vary easily. About the same weight as water.
Will not foam up or make when under pressure.
Will not require any additives.
has a high tolerance to heat (engine Compartments) when it comes out of the washer sprayers it is cool to the touch.
Cheap on sale in most dicount retail outlets, grocery stores, convienience stores and gas stations not to mention auto parts stores. Around $1.75 galllon.
Has a nice blue look.
Not sure what would happen if you added a lot of food coloring to change the color from blue to lets say red, orange or green?
What would happen if it was spilt solvent on your hardware. Should clean up like water.
I guess you clean it out by using some kind of air duster. When you use a new can of air duster if your not carefull it will make everything vary cold and wet.
I spilt regular cooling liquid in my computer case by accident and aal over the top of my desk including the key board. Could not get the coolant cleaned off the hardware it just kinda rolled around and made things worse.
I dissasembeld the computer, power supply and key board, fans and computer case thru it all in a bathtub full of hot water. Washed every thing with a cosmetic brush (no soap) dried every thing off with a hair dryer. Put the hardware back togather every thing is working just fine. with out issues.
I am building a new computer liquid cooled system. I do not want to mess with water or some kind of pre mixed coolant that has to be changed once a year or when ever. antifreeze will last up to 5,000 hours or 100,000 miles easily.
Well I hope you respond and any comments I would appreciate.
