closed system desinged to run closed...unless you have a leak it is most likley you will never add water to this system...very little air in system...virtually no corrosion or dirt...now open teh system and add much more air..and eventually dirt and grime and maybe plug of a reliefe valve so it does not do its job when and if it ever has to...heck that new car you got in the laneway that says use gasoline only...diesel is on sale this week..why not?

I have a friend who works at the same place I do but in a different department.  He said he can get for me a 5X12, brazed, 50 plate, flat plate heat exchanger for about a $200.00.  Is this a good price?  He said that it's new.  It's just been sitting in the box for last 2 years, unused since someone ordered the wrong one (it's to small)and the boss didn't want to send it back.  Now the boss wants to get it out of their shop.  When it comes time for me to hook it up, I'll be back to pick your guys brains for assistance.  I want to be sure I plumb everything correctly.

That's a good deal for sure
