I would like a little info. on this coolant 1. while this coolant will not boil untill 375 degrees, what would the temp of the car engine be? Not 37

It'll run a bit hotter than if you had standard coolant. 10F is common. But it is no big deal as your engine can handle running much hotter. It is the water based coolant that cannot handle running much hotter. I run Evan's in my aircraft and my coolant temps run 200-220F. Before it ran 190-205.

car temp is the same as normal coolant under operationjust evans does not rust components and the boil is higher

I can't tell you what the temp would be at any particular spot in the engine, but it will be significantly less than it would be if you had normal coolant that had boiled away. If your temp is 375, something is wrong and normal coolant will have boiled off. But by using Evans, your engine is unlikely to be damaged.

Not a good idea. Temp is 110-115f., too warm for starter. You may be able to hook up to a rheostat; I've never tried it. Bill Leahy

I do not think it moves anywhere near 3000 cfm. If you have a radiator big enough for two you had better use two. Makes a lot of difference what size your engine is, what size your radiator is and how hot the area is where you live. I will sell you mine.

Hi,Not available through the manufacturer. I cannot find anything that can withstand 375 oil temp.Sorry,k

My intake went bad under the thermostat but it leaked coolant and shorted out my coil. There was no way the oil and anti freeze could mix there. You might have 2 separate problems. If you're doing the intake I would go all the way and replace the head gaskets too.

The temp situation has been frustrating b/c it says it can be set at a certain temp but when trying to program it to stay put, it simply rises as your liquid inside is mixed, I use it for liposomal Vit c. I have found that the temp simply reflects the temp of the outside container, not your mixture so I have adapted and keep my thermometer handy and take temp of the liquid then add ice as it mixes to keep it below 104F. Its truly a great machine and for my purposes has worked fantastic other than the minor temp issue. Now that I realize what i need to do, its no problem. The lowest temp I have seen is in the 70's F and if I run it at 5 min intervals and let it cool, I can keep it well below 90F. Good luck. MS

Double check me but I'm 95% sure that you mix it 50/50 with distilled water. i would not top off with this if its not already in there. i would top off with distilled water or drain and fill with coolant distilled water mix.

With ours, any setting below 46 degrees will cause anything in the back half to freeze -- water, tea, diet drinks (with the exception would be regular soda). This probably doesn't help you if you've already bought the thing! Seems like a finicky refrigerator in general with settings, and needs to have air circulating inside it to allow the interior to be cooled equally. I would guess just from our experience that even if it's set to 37, it's much cooler toward the back than that. Good luck!

According to the most popular review, "The heater takes but 25 seconds to get up to it maximum operating temperature of 313 degrees F and the back side is roughly 90 degrees F on the silicon side." Most newer plastics can handle temperatures in that range, especially thicker ones designed to hold petroleum-based, 200 degree F engine oil. I would probably give it a shot, but it's up to your discretion. If you do choose to try it out, it would be a good idea to watch it for awhile and make sure it doesn't melt anything.

Check in your car manual and see if it list this as prescribed coolant for that model.

I'm not sure. My unit is kept in my kegerator, which stays around 35 degrees F. I'm not sure why you would have humidity issues in a car in below freezing temps.

You need to check your owner's manual....mine specifically said in it to use that coolant....hope this helps.

Did some searches for you using the search term "Mini Cooper coolant" and this is the indicated coolant type.... if you are down a bit in the overflow and don't live in a freezing climate, a little distilled water to top off the tank is not an issue.

78 degrees is the coldest, I bought to small of a chiller for a 250 gal system. there is some noise to the chiller. Bigger is better I'm going to have to buy a larger one for summer ,look up Teco brand quiet and much nicer and cooling is better.

If you can set it higher then 260 degrees then it's in fahrenheit mode. If you press the temp button you will see that Celsius is set lower then fahrenheit. So when it's 375 F it'll be like 190 C. When i first got this i had to toggle back and forth between modes just to make sure i had it right . hope this helps

I got the 150 watt model like this and placed it on thin steel plate (with intent of bolting that up to a small engine that doesn't have a good surface). Without it bolted up to the engine, the plate temp was 140 degrees after 1 minute, then ~200 after another minute and I pulled the plug then. After letting it cool enough to handle it I bolted it up to the small engine. To begin with the engine temp was 42 degrees and after having it plugged in for 10 minutes the oil sump area of the engine was at ~65 degrees. I've not tried going overnight, but seeing the temp go to 200+ does show the possibility of how hot it could get (and one guy in a review of one of these says "unsafe in any application...cuz has no temp regulation..."). Of course other considerations include how cold is it for you (are you in a north state like Minnesota?) and where are you placing it (on an oil pan where you're just heating the oil or on a car engine block that's real thick). I may try a test of leaving mine on the small engine for at least an hour to see how hot it gets (both near the base where it is and near the top of the engine) and will add a post if I do.
