I added a Laminova oil/water exchanger. It is
connected to the coolant return line and in series with the oil/air
exchanger. I measured a 10* increase in coolant temp through the
exchanger. I haven't measured the oil temp drop yet.
However I estimate the oil temp drop through the exchanger to
be 20-25*.

All sounds good. I also have a Laminova
H.E (C43-330)., and after down-loading the performance charts, and looking at
the flow/pressure drop data; I chose to plumb it in parallel. It is designed
for typical piston engine oil flows, and will give some pressure drop in our
rotary use. Measuring your oil pressure at the return to the engine, don’t
be surprised if you see a lower number than before.
At 6000 rpm (about 15 gpm oil flow) they
show 10-12 psi drop with oil at 250F. Don’t know what it is with oil at
150F.
