maybe I missed it, but for what reason would you
want to run electric waterpumps?
- no
cavitation at high rpm
- better
cooling at low rpm (holding for takeoff, etc)
- more power
available for the prop, particularly at higher rpm's (remains to
be proven how much more)
- reliability (broken and throw belts are the only thing
that's EVER stranded me in a car, happened twice)
-
easier, more flexible installation
- redundancy
(ever seen two mechanical pumps)
- other
advantages I'm too tired to think of at the moment.
For the
record, I'm pretty happy with my series mechanical and
EWP setup. It's sort of like having the best of both worlds.
The only reason I'll go full EWP is if I can prove that there's significant
performance to be gained. Frankly, I'll be surprised if I can tell
any RPM difference between mechanical, and EWP
runs.
Cheers,
Rusty
