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.

Oil Coolers
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?

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.
