Pretty cool stuff,
The stuff does have a higher boiling point, however we are severely
restricted to our max cooling temps to begin with-- unless you don't like your
"o" rings. Will the increased boiling point mitigate point boiling or will it do
the same as our pressure water/glycol system?
My understanding is that the material runs at atmospheric pressure, and
that is nice. how do it's characteristics vary when at altitude?
My further understanding is that the material is quite costly and cannot be
mixed with H2O under any circumstance. If switching over, the H2O must be
thoroughly purged from the system.
My further further understanding is that it is quite rare in the
field and that if you have to top off, for any reason, as stated before, you
can't just add water (unless you drain the entire system) or wait until the
automotive people can supply you.. or you can carry a gallon of so if it along
with your pre-mix.
At one time, I was very interested in it's potential for my aircraft,
however I don't think it is ready for prime-time, at least in me

While on the subject of cooling,
I am curious if anyone has tried the waterless coolant? Seems to
offer some advantages, namely higher boiling boint and low pressure, is
there any reason it should not be used
in our aplication?
