COOLANT QUESTION

[liferider]

Use what the manufacture recommends, equivalent or better!

Distilled water + Antifreeze = Coolant
The ratio depends on your climate.
Do NOT just use distilled water because your engine components
will corrode in time!

Fish tank and other small pumps have ceramic shafts that are lubricated
with water the pump pumps!!! Water is a lubricant but not suitable for every application. Coolant has extra lubricant added.
In water cutting water serves as propellant in my opinion.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct. But. I have a very deep back ground dealing with distilling. Now hear me out. Tap water has minerals, traces of arsenic, zinc, iron, and many other things. I can print out a USDS mandatory acceptable limit sheet. This is my job! Now when you distill water. Think of a moonshine still. Water is boiled, the steam rises and goes to the top of the still. It then goes through coils and is cooled turning into a liquid. Out the last cooling coil is distilled water. There are no minerals no nickel, no arsonic, no iron. No mineral trace at all. That is why when you supper heat distilled water and add a mineral, iron salt, anything it flash explodes! When you add oil to distilled water it is no longer distilled water. Oil has zinc,molly, nickel and many more elements and minerals. You will get the same effect using regular bottled water! Since this discussion started I called a lab we use and talked to him. I photoed the thread and emailed it to him. Guess what, he agrees with me. Distilling is distilling it is a form of turning something into a vapor and back to a liquid leaving unwanted minerals behind. Tap water + antifreeze= coolant also. Cutting oil + tap water= machine coolants we use in our landis threaders! Also you are correct in water cutting. The water is the propellant not the tool.

Srodden... Thanks.


When you turn the oxy/ace torch off of acetylene, will the torch keep... Let me put it another way. If you use a cutting torch, which gas is used more when you begin cutting? Oxy, correct?

Hold on to your trousers and don't get them all wadded up we go basic on you...

Solid = Hard water, correct?
Gas = Like oxy is a gas, correct?
Liquid = If we see oxygen as a cutter in air being oxygen, I said, I said, oxygen, are we still cutting with gas or in liquid form the same thing?

Call that guy back up... You two need to talk :argue:


That sugar and water is a chemical reaction, correct? Coke and pezmoes or whatever they drop in the soda is a chemical reaction, yes?

I have hot corn or veggie oil about ready to dump in the french fries. Hear that low level chemical reaction? How about that room temp sugar and they throw it in hot liquid. But this is more powerful, like oxygen, hello?

We on the same page about moving oxygen in a liquid or gas application? I said, I said, OXYGEN... Moving, add movement so heat is involved we move those molecules and see WATT happens, don't get me started about movements up a wire. :roll:

You are right Jonathan.

Since some places have very hard water coming out of taps in Australia
I feel that distilled water or rain water would be better choice.

I asked a simple question....and now I have a headache.
