I
think Ed is just trying to egg me on, knowing the attachment I have to this
subjectJ.
Referring to Bob who reported marginal cooling with his EWP, it would
have been nice to know how the system would perform with a mechanical pump.
I’m satisfied with the performance of my Davis Craig EWP, even though it is
somewhat marginal on hot days during a 3 minute 2000fpm climbout with boost.
But I doubt the mechanical pump would do any better. I’d like to improve my
cooling system, starting with my hailstorm damaged evap cores, but I’m still
committed to using my EWP.
I guess until we can get a true experimental minded type of guy who
already has a successful mechanical cooled system, to switch over to an EWP
with no other system modifications, then we will never really answer this
question.
Gee Ed, you sound bored... It’d be a great way to pass the
summer?

Re: Electric Water pumps - Interesting
I was just
thumbing through a recent catalog from Summit Racing and came across a couple
of pages on electric water pumps. There has always been a degree of
interest (and some debate {:>)) regarding the use of electric water pumps
in aircraft.
Are you
really that bored Ed? Maybe trying to stir up some lively conversation,
and tired of the same old fuse breaker topic :-)
I'm off
to run the single rotor again, now that I've got the RD-1C drive back on
it. Don't tell anyone, but it's only got an electric water pump
