What does dry ice do to intercooler water temps? Does the water cool?

- I had a small piece of dry ice and wanted to see how much it cooled the water inside the overflow tank.
world's fast fiero performing science experiments just for you
What if you were to customise your coolant tank and have like another layer of walls outside 2 inches away apart and in between have liquid nitrogen or dry ice? That would definitely help it cool down faster…
I actually have a compound turbo bike that runs on e85 and blowthrough carb with dry ice chilled fuel. We made a tank for the pits that we chill to -90°f then fill the tank and put a small chunk in to keep it cooler longer. Was worth a good bit more boost and power for me then again my engine is air and oil cooled lol
Please consider packing dry ice around the outside of the tank and test again.
Stupid idea, but what if perhaps you add a gravity fed tube to put the dry ice in to keep a longer supply?
No answers?
Water only gets so cold you have to switch to ethanol or acetone and you will get - 78 degrees
Interesting. So instead of water use an isopropyl alcohol?
Just regular ice works better
If you put more dry ice in the tank on a 80° day how long will the dry ice last in the tank? I’m thinking about using dry ice too but I’m not sure it’s gonna work
It will work. I'd say it could take 10-15 minutes to for dry ice to fully dissipate. Of course it depends on how big your tank is and how much dry ice you put in.
Don't forget to have a vent to allow the gas to escape.
@@Slowv8Fiero I have a 5 gallon tank that I was going to dedicate to dry ice then jump the water over to a 5 gallon ice tank and then send it back to the supercharger. Does that make any sense? How long do you think that will last if you’re at 80° day?
@@outlawperformancegarage5211 if you already have an ice tank to put regular ice in then I wouldn't bother with a second tank with dry ice.
@@Slowv8Fiero I need to do something extra because my eyes take it is getting hot too fast. I need to do something to keep these temperatures down.
So I have thought about doing this and doing my research and came across your video, in ur opinion would it be worth it to run it down the track? I hear u can actually freeze the water if u were to put to much. And did u ever try it running down the track with it?
I wouldnt have the dry ice in the tank while actually going down the track. The co2 offgasses as seen and a track official might see your car "smoking" and stop your run.
I would use the dry ice to cool between rounds.
Would be better to separate the dry ice so it super cools the aluminum container not in contact with the liquid
Why would you wait to turn on the pump while the dry Ice is in the water tank? "Edited"
I thought that's what I did
@@Slowv8Fiero Essentially yes that's what you did. My question sucked. Lol I should've been more specific. Why wait to turn on the water pump? Why not drop the dry ice in and turn the pump on and watch the temp drop minute by minute until temps level out? Then possibly turn around and do the same thing only with regular ice. Nonetheless I appreciate the video.
@@onetallguy19 I wanted to see just how much it would cool just the water in the tank itself.
More so if in the staging lanes wiyhout the pump running and draining the battery
We tried this on my pulling tractor
It maybe lasted 5 minutes if you didnt turn the water pump on until you were hooked to the sled and moving
Usually hit the switch after the 120' mark
A bag of ice work better
Costs more long term.
@@Slowv8Fiero Personally I like to use sealed frozen gel packs so I don’t have to drain the system like when you use ice when it melts
@@dujuanjohnson5025 that's what I use. Sealed gel packs refreeze them. Way cheaper than ice
No no no
