Distilled Water in Cooling System - Maybe not. 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Skip on  Wed Feb 12 13:01 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Great question. Many years ago a Ham Radio club I belonged to got a tour of a local plant that manufactured integrated circuits. We were shown the plant that produced "10 meg" water. That is, ultra pure, distilled, deionized water used to wash the chemicals off the finished wafers. It was highly toxic (we were told) and the pvc pipes used to distribute it needed to be replaced several times a year. The water needed some sort of buffer in solution to make it stable. In the case of the cooling system, anti-freeze provides this stabilization. Besides, distilled water you buy at the store is nowhere near "10 meg".
