Antifreeze water additive for aquacomputer equippment

Monday, October 15th 2012, 5:35pm

Hi!
Last year during Winter if I shutdown my computer for too long the liquid of my water circuit would froze because my radiator is located outside my flat. Is there an additive that I can be added to the distilled water + anticorrosion additive that would make it freeze resistant or lower the chances of it? If yes what and in which proportion?

Thanks ^_~

What is the freezing point of DP?

It fully freezes at -20°C but at around -10°C it starts to become jellylike.

I would not use it for the mentioned purpose.

Does the DP has to be used pure or can it be mixed with distilled water or/and water colorant like glow motion?

It can not be mixed. It is a ready to use coolant and not a concentrate.

Satyr - what did you find to prevent freezing? Is automotive antifreeze compatible with PC WC materials?

You can use G11/G12 for cars. Besser doch kein G11 ?
