Pressurized Cooling System- F/I benefits??
I have been researching different cooling systems & solutions and came across a company called C&R Racing that makes a "Pressurized Cooling System''. Seems it is intended to increase the pressure in the radiator, thereby allowing higher temperatures.
According to the company's website:
"The pressurized cooling system controls what happens when temperature rises and water expands.
It is equipped with a pressure accumulator that controls air space and acts as an “air spring”.
At expansion the “air spring” collapses rather than pushing water out of the radiator cap.
A pressure relief valve replaces the radiator cap in this application. The benefits include higher operating temperatures and smaller duct work openings resulting in greater control of water contact in critical areas of the engine.
The pressurized cooling system is used by IndyCars®, Formula One and NASCAR®. The system is adaptable to any water-cooled racecar."
Anyone able to explain the theory behind this?? Would this be helpful for an F/I engine??

It lets you run higher coolant temps so that your radiator doesn't boil over which is a good thing. The problem is It doesn't bring down the coolent temp down either so it make it useless in street car.
