Title: Van wont be frozen tomorrow, but wont be working long.
Post by: geefree on December 17, 2009, 11:30:36 pm: Cos i have a heater in it.

But when the water hits the glass in the morning it will freeze.

Unless of course you have hot water....lol.

then the glass will break.

Hot water freezes quicker than cold water because its less dense.

I have tried different houses and its froze on the glass, in the past.

1/..Are you sure if the house is heated its ok?

2/..So hot water is only good for getting stubborn dirt off the glass faster?

Post by: wizard on December 18, 2009, 06:46:37 am: You would have to wash long enought to increase the tempture of the glass to stop the water freezing at this point the glass would have absored enought heat to be equal to the water.
