I have used most of the ideas from George
Braly engine
cooling seminar of Oct/04 for TSIO 550
installations in
L IVs. Over the last several months flying in So.
Calif.
at 15500 to 17500 at 2500RPM and 31" MAP and
19gph
in cruise CHTs run from 264 to 305 oil temp 160
hottest
TIT 1595, 80 to 90 LOP.
Has anyone done any work with cooling drag.
Directing the
air flow above the engine has a positive effect,
has anyone
tried to direct the air flow as it exits the bottom
of the engine?, if so with what effect?. Tried closing
down the exit area and again with any positive
effect.
Thoughts and comments would be
appreciated.
