Subject: Re: Coolant systems (clean and properly maintained) by jhammons01 on 2009/7/8 22:13:42 ^^It is particularly more important on older cars. And you are forgetting the Electrolysis factor. It's not just the water pulling minerals from your motor....rather the "conductivity of the water" increases with contamination. Now you've read my earlier post yet overlooked the part about that DC power supply and Anodes and cathodes... How do we chrome plate things?? You can dissolve metals using Electrolysis just as you can coat metals with Electrolysis...you merely need the current going in the correct direction. Now go back and rethink all the times you heard of a head Gasket prematurely failing....last I looked they had a thin piece of Aluminum sandwiched in between two pieces of graphite sheet and cut to fit. Add a current to Iron filled water and wala!! you just created a Electrolysis tank made for dissolving aluminum. This particularly produced these results when they put alloy and steel components together in the same cooling system with a current going through it. So I wouldn't be so quick to poo poo the premise behind the pure water. Side bar: In electronics manufacturing....solder paste is removed by soaking the PCB in a big bath of Iso Alcohol and Deionized water.....How does the technician check the water mix for contamination????? He uses a Fluke Multimeter.....the more the water conducts the more it is contaminated. I know this has nothing to do with cars, but why can't we use knowledge from other industries to our advantage?? |
