Todd,
Are you using this as your sole means of oil
cooling, or as a supplement? I've always been intrigued by the idea of an
oil-water exchanger, but have yet to hear of anyone successfully using one as a
sole means of cooling a rotary in an aircraft application. Something like this
would sure simplify my plumbing and eliminate some weight. I'm
tempted.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Mocal Oil Cooler
ECD54-182
Hi Guys
Quite some while back Mark Sietle
put a Mocal oil cooler in his plane, which I was quite impressed with.
Recently I began watching ebay for one of these coolers and a few weeks ago I
hit paydirt. IRC, Mark was using the C43-330 which is a fine looking piece of
craftsmanship but are pricey little devils at $350 apiece. They are 330 mm
long and a single pass. The E54 series offer 25% greater cooling in a
comparable size, while the ECD54 series are dual core and have double the
cooling capacity as the comparable size C43 cooler, but are prohibitively
expensive at ~$800.
I managed to get mine for $275usd
and it was still new, never used. The seller had 2 of them and since I only
took one there is still another available. He indicated that he would re-list
the other cooler on ebay, but I haven't seen it yet or I'd have just posted
the listing. So if anyone is interested you can just contact him direct at chines@pendragon-design.com .
I'm very impressed with mine as it is a very fine piece
of workmanship. It is only 182mm long but weighs in at just under 3lbs.
Attached are a few pics of it disassembled.
Thought I'd pass it along.
