Thanks George, but can you offer
more explanation on the stackable plate concept?
They come pre-configured with
anywhere from 9 to 60 plates – pressure tested to 175 psi.
How do you add more plates without
ruining the original integrity?
I will try to forward your email
to Larry.

I
spoke to Larry on these, he uses them for racing and Rotary applications. They
are plate coolers and primarily used for oil coolers, however can be used for
radiator coolers he uses them for oil to water coolers.
They
are a great design and are stackable as you can add more plates if needed.
For
an oil cooler you won't have any problems, for the right size, ask Larry
Childs larry@designitprtotype.com while
your at it ask him to join this discussion group, we need him on here. I've
been looking for a reason to ask him since I was disenfranchised from the other
group. Larry wants to eventually produce everything for the Rotary in Aviation
and has his own machine shop. You can send him this e-mail if you like, he is
very knowledgeable and always willing to help his Aviation buddies - time
permitting.
Does anyone have experience will Earl’s
“Temp-A-Cure” oil coolers with a 13B rotary?

or

Earl’s quoted specs:
Features
- Manufactured
in the U.S.A from aircraft spec aluminum alloy, using the latest vacuum
brazing technology.
- Corrugated
screen internal turbulator plates increase both thermal efficiency and
mechanical strength resulting in the most efficient, smallest and lightest
practical package.
- Manufactured
from thin aluminum plates for the fastest possible heat transfer.
- Inlet
and outlet fittings o-ring to the top plate assembly.
- Designed
for the range of oil flows and air speeds encountered in high performance
automobiles.
- Available
in three widths with inlet and outlet fittings male AN.
- Every
cooler is pressure checked to 175 psi. Periodic samples are burst tested
to 350 psi.
