RED LINE WATER WETTER

[Arthur McKenna]

This is an interesting comment, since my car runs too hot (at least or my comfort). Do you mean that the latent heat lost due to water evaporation accounts for the better cooling, as it most certainly could? If so, this means one has to rely on the water evaporating from the system in order to get a lower running temperature. This in turn requires one to take along extra water(and an "asbestos" glove) to keep rediluting the antifreeze as the water boils away and the running temperature gradually increases to the running temperature of the 50/50 mix(or above?). Hopefully, the improved heat conductivity of the higher water content mixture does not require more evaporation (in a non-pressurized system) to achieve the end sought. Presumably, the water wetter product also helps heat conductvity. Art McKenna TC6999

The water wetter from Redline makes the water "cling" to the metal better, assisting heat transfer and increasing efficiency. It doesn't fix worn and broken parts. Radiators are water/air intercoolers. Evaporation of the coolant doesn't have much effect....... Best, Ray

hi friends probably i am a bit late with my suggestions concerning water wetter? i tried that some years ago -- and can say, the only effect that this product causes is the missing 10 bucks in your pocket! better you buy a bunch of flowers for your wifes -- that is better for you walter ________________________________________________________________________ Walter Prechsl Kappel cker 10 74182 Obersulm, Germany walter@publi-consult.com

While driving my TA to GoF West (about 2400 miles round trip), the average water temp was 82 degrees C on the flat, on uphills it would climb to 90, the settle back to 82 while going down hill or back to the flat.....after extensive running abouve 6500 feet, We experienced a lot of water loss due to the decreased vapor pressure. This required frequent replinishment. I normally run Napacool and water, no antifreeze. Napacool is used extensively by the trucking industry and is an anti-corrosive. I don't believe it has any suface tension reduction properties like water wetter. Well, anyway, after we got to Salt Lake City where is was 97 degrees F, I stopped in a store and bought some generic water wetter, looks just like the Redline stuff. Threw in about 1/2 the bottle and topped off the rad. Next day while running through the salt flats at 100 degrees, my water temp was averaging 85 degrees C........so much for water wetter........this is the second time I've tried this stuff with out noticing any difference. The old TA ran flawlessly through out the great adventure...... Terry
