Or you refrigerate the water, but in that case the heat from compression
is air cooled.
There's a good chance submersing in oil would change the values of some
components. 200 fluid of a very low viscosity would work.
OTOH it takes very little water to adequately cool a legal limit amp, be
it a SS or tube type.

REPLY:
it could be done but you still have to get rid of the heat. Keep in
mind that so-called "water cooled" amps are really cooled by air. The
water is just a medium to carry the heat from the tube or transistor
to the heat exchanger.
The exception of course, is if you have a continuous stream of
incoming cold water which is discharged without recirculating.
