Subject: Re: Water Injection


Hi all! Actually, water-methanol injection has been used on turbine aircraft engine for a very long time. What it does? lowers inner turbine temperature, increases air density since water is less compressible than air, thus permitting to produce more power at less temperature inside the engine. Mind you that this is done in a controlled fashion, as far as water in a puddle is concerned, I wouldn't want that to get in my saab's turbo!!! JL "Alex L.
