[RC] Cooling - water as an insulation barrier - Trails End Farm
I cannot recall the
source but I remember hearing somewhere that the
advice to remove water so as not to create an insulation barrier was actually
not true. The reason given is that water has a high heat capacity - it can
be exposed to lots of heat without actually increasing its temperature. An
example was given of a car’s radiator – its uses water to cool the engine. I’m sure I’m not doing
this description justice, but I’m hoping the
point comes across.
