Re: SVX Engine cooling "Again & Again"

That pretty smart were did you find it.
Also I have this crazy idea which is a bit complicated but involves puting a second radiator infront of the first. You send the hot water from the top of the engine into the radiator closest to the engine out the bottom and into the front one then back to the inlet of the water pump. Its means you can reduce the temp of the coolent down lower with on the return then you can the same amount of water. Works on the princpal that coolest air hits cooler coolent and hotter air hits hottest coolent.
Its know in industry as counter current cooling. In our factory we send water into a sweet corn cooler at 5 c and product at 100c at the other end we get out water at 100c and corn at about 10c. This is done with equal volumes of both.
If we don't run AC condensor the other radiator can go there.
