About this deal

Air conditioning condensers can have a large effect on the radiator performance they increase the air on temperature to the radiator which reduces the ambient temperature capability of the radiator. I'm pretty sure you actually don't want to have your engine run too cool. From my understanding of engines, the hotter it runs the more effecient it is to a point where you start to loose lubrication or clearances become too tight. I think this is why there are a lot of ceramics being developed for use in engines. Also noticed that thermostats have risen in temp since the good old days. Engines that run hotter are more effecient (to a point) so they can get better mileage and/or power. You still want the coolest intake temps possible though. I posted this in the Pettit Super Charger post, but I'd like to expand it and clarify for the general population. https://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/images/variants/icon/redline/red-line-waterwetter-super-coolant-additive-355ml-bottle-5.jpg

Redline is a water wetter compatible with all antifreeze, including the most improved and new long-life variations. If you model the pressure drops around the cooling system in a loop, using the fluid dynamics equivalent of Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law, you will find that removal of the thermostat results in a much lower average pressure in the cylinder head coolant passages. This allows the coolant in the cylinder head to boil. Once the coolant is in a gaseous state, very little heat transfer occurs.Give it all the damn theories names you want, thems the facts assuming the radiator is the correct size for the application? The restriction of coolant flow must be low, around 5 PSI Delta max. This also ensures the coolant is not in the radiator longer that required, and hence not create water pump restriction issues (water pump cavitation). Wjtinfwb "Fill 'er Up!" Another well worn phrase destined for the dustbin. Who gets to set the limits? Elon? The Feds? A 3rd party? What determines peak usage? Last year the US was going to have a zillion chargers on every corner. When that turned out to be both very expensive and almost impossible, the next step is to limit charging? Thereby limit usage and range? No Thanks. Keeping my gas engine cars and passing them all down to me kids. They may need to actually get somewhere someday. Now as to the claims of water wetter. To me, a DROP in coolant temperature (all other things being equal) would be LESS heat transferred to the cooling system, unless a coolant of far greater specific heats was being used. Not knowing the make-up of water wetter, I can't say whether it does increase the specific heat markedly.

This wide temperature range allows operation in any condition. Many users found that this coolant lasted in their vehicles for a very long time. If you are JUST adding Water Wetter; just add it in the overflow catch can cold and then do the De-Airing Procedure as outlined in the Service Manual. A side note here, the testing I conducted required the removal of the radiator cap as this would be testing under the worst case senior. On some modern car engines the removal of, or a faulty radiator cap can cause overheating, this is due to the fact that cooling system have very little cooling margin up their sleeve as the saying goes. This is all about cost, size and design constants.

About Klarna

Using the space shuttle re-entry as an example of why increasing turbulent airflow somehow increases heat at a heat exchanger, is absolutely awful. Kudos to the mentions of cavitation. If you remove the t-stat restriction and increase the flow rate above design the pump can cavitate which = Less flow with bubbles = much less heat transfer.

Runs quite good when its warm out, but starts to think about overheating at a prolonged idle in the 80f’s. Redline Water Wetter is compatible with new or used antifreeze (including DEX-COOLTM and long-life versions) to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems. The Water Wetter is not there to "lower" the coolant temperature. As I tried to say earlier, it is a surfactant which improves the efficiency of water as a coolant. It improves the heat transfer capabilities of the water. This allows better heat transfer out of the system to lower maximum temperatures... temperatures above the thermostat's value.

Because the lower radiator hose channels coolant to the water pump and engine, it is susceptible to negative pressure and collapse at high rpm. The anti-collapse spring prevents that from happening. One hose manufacturer says you don’t need the anti-collapse spring because it was used only for factory-fill purposes. This has never been true because of thepositive pressure on the lower hose during fill. The engines or metal parts are covered with paint or plastics which act as a barrier and helps to lessen the corrosion and rust. While purple ice is a well-known radiator additive or antifreeze, Locas Super Coolant is a known coolant for the engine. The fact is, higher velocity will give you more heat dissipation until compression becomes a factor. The only other issue involved is the ability of the material to transfer kinetic energy. In simple terms, when air flow reaches the cores maximum ability to transfer heat, any increase is wasted.

You are completely confusing virtually unrelated scientific concepts, and applying them in some twisted fashion that does not resemble science.The arrow shows the direction of the wind (up is north). If the arrow points from land to sea, the wind Important: RED LINE WaterWetter is a Coolant ADDITIVE and DOES NOT contain any Antifreeze. It's main purpose is to reduce Engine Running Temperatures and raise existing Antifreeze / Coolant boiling points. Water Wetter works by reducing the surface tension of the water/coolant mixture. Some basics -- water is the most efficient coolant you can use in your engine. Water alone will transfer more heat faster than anti-freeze will. The problem with water is that it boils at 212 deg. F. You can increase that temperature somewhat by adding pressure (the pressure cap on your system), but it still boils at a relatively low temperature. The other problem with water is that it is corrosive. Also, it freezes at 32 deg. F. Not good things for cars.
