Internal combustion engine cooling is not the same application as industrial computing. Differences include
- ICE Cooling relies on pressure (boiling if released to atmospheric pressure
- Maintenance (Schedules and Leak Detection); Most modern cars go a lifetime, if not 100k miles with no cooling system maintenance; if preventative maintenance is performed (replacement of radiator, pressure tank and/or rubber hosing regularly)and the system is monitored for level, repairs can be pre-empted. (very rarely does the leak happen in the block))
- Vibration and Environment (including cost or effort of maintenance)
