Coolant additives that improve heat transference

[Jabo75]

To be honest I used to teach Thermodynamics to nuclear power plant Operators as part of their licensing process (hold a Senior Reactor Operator Certificate to prove it). Since a nuke plant is just one gigantic heat exchanger I just felt like weighing in.

Ok, well let's put this to some kind of useful application. I am tired of hearing about turbos and superchargers on R3s. It's time someone put a nuclear power plant in one. Think of all of the greenhouse gasses to be saved...

It's quite ironic that you should mention this...as this started out coolant related. Nothing more important than cooling in a nuclear power plant!!!

Unless the reactor is usingTRISO Fuel

The bike might be a smidgeon heavier than you want to ride, considering all the lead shielding to prevent your nuts (and everything else) from getting roasted.

Well, considering I have been thinking about a vasectomy, I could get a two-fer. Would help justify the extra cost.

The hotter the dish, the more milk I drink. Wondering if it will work as well on the bike…

I am not a scientist or an essay writer, but have , every time had good results with Evans waterless coolant.

Evans is good stuff.. A little pricey, but good. A lot of racers use it up here. Dont know the service life of O A T coolant, but replacing it every other year is probably a good idea.

Triumph uses OAT Organic Acid Technology coolant, says so right on the silver bottle so this is what I'm using. Read how long this coolant lasts!!

"protection for 600,000 miles of on road use (6 years of 12,000 hours or off highway use) without the use of Supplemental Coolant Additives"

Might be just this product.

Just found out the O A T coolant in the Triumphs has a service life of 5 years, or 150k miles.. which ever comes first.. Dont know anyone who does that kind of miles on a bike.
On all my liquid cooled bikes i found that a complete fluid changeout isnt really necesary if you just drain and replace what comes out of the radiator every few years.. That refreshes the additives, and keeps the PH in line for corrosion protection. Doing a complete coolant flush can introduce air pockets sometimes which creates overheating
on some machines.
