[QUOTE="BRush, post: 567988, member: 18729"] Pure water has more heat carrying capacity than antifreeze (twice the heat transfer capability when compared to 50/50% glycol antifreeze/water mix). In other words it takes more heat energy to raise a given mass of water one degree F than it does to raise the same mass of antifreeze by the same amount. So yes, at the same pressure, it will boil at a lower temperature than the coolant, but it will take more energy to get to that point - which is why distilled water is more effective than ethylene glycol in keeping an engine from boiling over. Redline has a neat graph on their page that illustrates this by quenching a aluminum bar heated to 304 deg F into a variety of coolants and measuring how fast heat is removed. One thing I like about Redline - they are not shy about posting technical data on their website: [url]http://www.redlineoil.com/redlineoil/wwti.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
