It basically states that inclining a radiator from 0 deg
to 20-30 deg will dec
rease cooling and increase drag - not terribly surprising,
however, the article continues saying that at approx. 55 dig of inclination the
cooling effectiveness is 30% greater than a radiator with no inclination and the
drag is 20% less!!! Now I found that surprising - but, then air flow does
take surprising twists (no pun intended).
While I find that claim very interesting - I
have not found any collaborating documents. But, thought the group might
find it interesting
Hi
Ed,
That is pretty interesting.
Now that I think of it, we've had a few people using extreme angles either blow,
or beside the engine. Have any of those people had cooling
issues?
Cheers,
