The water temp coming out of the generator was 167 and after it came out of the new heat exchanger I installed it had cooled back down to 97 before it went back into the generator. I took the water temp this morning and it was 88 degrees after all the rain we have had. So it’s pulling the water temperature down to within 10 degrees of the lake water. Just remember this is a closed loop system that uses antifreeze and only uses the lake or sea water to pull the heat away from the generator. Some generator setups only use lake or sea water for all cooling
