Post by Nebraska_e28 »

What have you had the best luck with as a cooling medium? Any particular blend of special juices or just plain water?

No direct experience; that said, I'd run the same solution I ran in the engine cooling system. That way you only have one solution to carry and worry about if you are out and about.

I'm guessing the Water Wetter is important for this application. There is not a large DeltaT and you would want the best transfer you can manage.
