My friend ran his watercooling system with a car's antifreeze liquid. is this a good idea?
it used to be the norm.
Because guys remember most of ur system was originally off the heater core section on a car.
So the assumption went, cars are 12v, the cooling system in cars are 12V, so maybe we can scale stuff down for cars, and fit it in our application.
Well, thats how it started.
Heatercores + Fish pumps... with basic cooper plates.
Antifreeze was included originally as antimicrob and partial mix metal protection.
Later when LC took off like a rocket for the moon, we got rid of antifreeze, because we no longer use unsafe mix metals.
Well, if u still do, then your way behind the times.
guys i cant stress enough to you about how important research is before any medium change.
You are changing mediums.. your no longer staying on straight air.
Changing mediums means, you should research and study it.
At least get the basic concepts behind.
One of the most confused concepts people have with water is that its something like a magic eraser in which it wipes heat out.
Instead its a pickup trick moving heat from 1 location to another.
This concept alone u should understand, with simple basic thermodynamics to support it.
And not have to have someone teach you about it, because:
But thermodynamics can never lie. If it does, your dreaming.
