Any anyone list examples of adding salts to liquids to raise boiling point used in life?

As in industry, biology of animals, anything?

If I remember correctly a use is to keep radiators from evaporating in warm climates. I'll have to go look that up though.

I would expect none at all. Can you try to imagine a situation where there would be a benefit and describe it rigorously?

Salt is often added to water before you boil noodles. Whether that's to obtain a higher boiling temperature, or salt the noodles, I do not know
