Water 220 oil 230 <= /div>

In oil to air exchangers these differences is usually around= 100 degree fahrenheit

These type of oilcooliing can add to the co= mplex problem allready of cooling the rotary engine.( water coolant boiling)=

Oil to air coolers is in my opinion a more stable system as= oil boils at a temperature well above the normal operating temperatures

Think that conventional oil cooling is a parallel independent c= ooling system and will continue to function when the liquid ( water) system f= ail for a reason.

As a third of the heat of the rotary is cooled b= y the oil system

It helps in my opinion if your eggs are not= in one basket and the rotary will get you on the ground if the water system= fails but the oil system is working.

Just my thoug= hts

Sorry fo= r the late reply; been a bit distracted the last few days.

One test (just one of many) that's been mentioned is running fo= r hundreds of hours, alternating between max power and max torque, stopping o= nly for oil changes at the 'book' interval.

Of= course, dumping that oil heat load into the water means a significantly big= ger water radiator would be required.

How much heat ( % ) of total is normally rejected for a p= iston engine?
You say rated for 280HP. Is that 280HP continuous?
