    Prevent freezing

    If i put some rubbing alcohol (70% strength) in my cell to help prevent freezing....will it work? I think if i put a half cup or so in my cell i think it will help with my problem.

    It will help with freezing but will really slow down production. Best is a 28% solution of KOH. It will not freeze.

    Here is the same method I use for adjusting my KOH Levels. AutoZone has the hydrometers for like 7 dollars. This SOOOO simplifies the whole process.

    Thanks,

    I just run 28% KOH by weight and it never freezes. No need for any heaters of any kind. You will need to run a PWM to prevent over amping of your device if you do this. Also a 25% solution of Alcohol in your bubbler will prevent it from freezing. Make sure that your HHO line to your intake stays warm when the engine is running or the moisture in the line will freeze over time and block the flow of HHO to the engine causing the cell and bubbler to pressurize and maybe explode.
