You should be able to get flow rate;
pressure drop; heat rejection rating from Fluidyne. Based on my calcs, it
would be good to about a steady 120 hp in a rotary, if you get good air flow
through it.
You may have to get in touch with their “Performance”
Group (or whatever they call it). It is in CA, maybe in San Bernadino.
It might be good to know the oil side pressure drop for 12-15 gpm flow rate.

oil cooler
Greetings,
I got the new oil cooler, and I have
my doubts about the size. It will be easy to fit, but will it cool?
The thing is certainly built like a tank, and it didn't even have any packing
in the box. I guess Fluidyne doesn't figure it needs any special
treatment. The tubes do have nice turbulator fins inside, so I have no
doubt that it will be far more efficient than the evap core was. Will it
be twice as efficient??? I guess I'll find out. Specs follow.
