QUOTE(BeastX @ Oct 24 2006, 04:38 PM) 1. Edited my statement ... the percentage I have given are examples.. Organic compounds (rubber/plactics) that are reactive with ethanol will react with ethanol no matter the amount used. Chemical reaction is based on 1. strenght of reaction of the compounds. 2. present of compounds.. decreasing one particular compound decrease chance of compounds in contact with each other that triggers reaction. Therefore chemical reaction may last days/months/years until an equilibrium is reached. 2. Heat transfer (fizik) has a direct correlation with heat capasitance (Energy needed to increase one Kelvin) of the liquid phase, vanderWaals energy, molecular vibration, molecular movement and so on. Boiling point is where the liquid has reach its maximum heat storage ability and additional heat is transfered to the phase change to gaseous molecules. 3. Pure H2O has a much higher corrosive ability than ethanol... It is the measurement of the ability of the H+, proton to disassociate from the molecule for reaction. I tought it is celsius and not Kelvin ? This post has been edited by LittleLinnet: Oct 27 2006, 09:37 PM

Forgot where did I see it, was a long time ago. 1 guy tried using ethanol in his WC setup, actually worked slightly better than water. However, because its impossible to seal any WC system 100% from evaporation, what more its warm from all the heat, it evaporated easily and filled his whole room with ethanol fumes. He said it was like having a hangover 24/7, had to stop the experiment after a day or 2.
Btw, if you still want to try it out, methylated spirit (RM5 or so) sold at hardware shops is around 60-70% ethanol and 20-30% methanol with trace chemicals to make it undrinkable (drinkable alcohol is subject to tax). However, make sure you ventilate your room well..and no open flames! Perhaps a mix of water and spirit might work, since both have properties desirable in WC.
Spirit/alcohol -flows better than water -transfers heat better than water -is electrically non-conductive
Water -has very high heat capacity (need a lot of heat to make temp rise) -high boiling point compared to many liquids including alcohol
Water's electrical conductivity is reduced when non-ionic substances like spirit are mixed/dissolved in it while spirit will not evaporate so quickly and absorb more heat when mixed with water.

Sien di lar...nothings happening to the o-ring or the tygon.
Let's call this myth... Busted.

On second thought.....after a month of being in vodka...the tygon turned white'ish now..Will take a pic later when I get back home.
