Hi Ed,
Don't know anymore than I read. However, since you
build these type of things, I would think it might be worth $14.00 to get the
paper and find out.
Anybody can made claims and there was not
sufficient information there to form any sort of conclusion. You can
always tailor a design to give you the maximum in one area at the expense of
some other area. The real secret is having a design that does it all (or
most all) well.
For instance, you can get a large deltaT with
air flow through a radiator by simply slowing down the air flow through
it. Now according to some folks that is the cat's meow. However, due
to the slow mass flow you won't be removing much heat from the radiator/engine
which is the real objective. So balancing the warring
aerodynamic and thermodynamic aspects of heat transfer in any design is
the real secret (in my opinion)..
You mention seeing us seeing a heat exchanger at
Tracy's. I presume you sent some of your work there for viewing at the
Rotary round up??

Dear Ed
Being that I
respect you opinion and advice what do you make of this mat. is it worth
buying the tech papers to show people at air shows what has been found
technically not opinion (the pope Paul) on this subject.
Regards
PS one of these oil/water coolers is at tracy's
house already

For some of you considering a coolant/oil heat
exchanger in your installation might want to explore this items more.
Claims a 5 times greater performance than your regular coolant/oil heat
exchanger. Not certain that this is anymore than an experimental
prototype or concept. But, for you to decide.
