OK, here goes. I got a buddy who works with a chemical engineering firm. they're working on a new H20 substitute that he "accidentally" brought home a sample of. This stuff has a freezing point of minus 50 celcius and a boiling point of 175 celcius. Also has NO conductivity whatsoever.
We were thinkin of runnin it through a standard water setup (non-corrosive, non-toxic, shouldn't hurt the pump, tube, or blocks) and then mebbe through a water chiller.
Some more information on this stuff:
Average molecular weight = 670
Boiling point = 174 deg C
Gel point = -50 deg C
Density = 1.88 gm/cm3
Vapor pressure = 1.3 torrr
Specific heat = 0.25 cal/g
Dielectric Strength = 40KV over a 1" gap
Volume Resistivity = 2.3x10 to 75th power (very large number) ohms
over 1 cm
Appearance = Clear/Colorless, odorless liquid
Hope this helps. By my figuring, it is twice as dense as water, evaporates much slower, and has as much, if not more, heat capacity. I don't exactly remember the formula for calculating heat capacity from physics, so feel free to correct me.
Oh, and it conducts almost NO electricity (leaks are no longer a problem!)
Also, supposedly corrosion free on plastics and metals, and according the the R&D guy, nothing can survive in it, so no parasites!
Anybody know of a good chiller setup that we could fit in a case w/this thing?
Comments, questions, etc.
