One of our clients is having a problem with the cooling system of their racing car. They aren't allowed to use glycol coolants on the track. But they're running into corrosion issues. I analyzed the corrosion debris and find both iron oxide and aluminum oxide. The system sees a cast iron block, aluminum components (radiator and accumulator tank), and rubber hoses. I believe they're using tap water (not de-ionized) because of the calcium present in the contaminants. What can we add to the water to inhibit corrosion of the system?
