It is basically the same thing as a car engine without the fuel to
burn to make it hotter. Car engines need cooling because of the added
heat from the fuel being burned. They cool car engines down to 180-
200 degrees, which is the normal temp. I am just guessing, but I would
think 180 is about right.
