Best Coolant Mixture?

_Mike_ · 04-13-2002, 01:00 PM

I am curious as to what you use as your coolant, and whether or not it changes if you are using, say, straight water cooling versus a water chiller at -25ºF. I know the majority should be water, but how much WaterWetter and how much glycol, or do you use methol or something else?

I'm new here, so I appreciate any responses.

at -25F you're going to have major issues, use a lot of water wetter, antifreeze and whatever else you can find to keep the water a liquid. also use a very powerful pump, so the water won't freeze up

50% glycol is good for -34
