No, the loop water will not go to freezing temperatures as long as it is moving, AND the water temp in the loop is above, maybe 36 degrees (I shut mine off early, I didn't want to freeze my HX solid).

It makes it very efficient!

When I reflected on it, my test pressures started out too high, and like I said, I had a long slow leak. I monitored the performance during the leak, which went on for a couple of months. And my best working pressures were also in the range reported by randen.
BTW, thanks for the propane resources.
