Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Evaporator core
fittings
How do the fittings, AN or hose barb, get mounted in the
evaporator
cores? Welded, brazed? Where is the optimum location
for the fittings? I
have seen several positions for the
fittings. I am mounting two of the
cores similar to those used in the
RVs next to each other and would like to
locate the inlets and outlets.
Thanks for any help.

Hi
Joe,
The fittings are
welded (TIG) to the evap cores. One fitting has to be placed on the end
of each tank, but that's about the end of the rules. Which end of
the tank you use, will likely be determined by the space you have
available. In my case, I have the water cores oriented such
that the tanks are on the left, and right, so the fittings either have to
be on the top end of the tanks, or bottom. Traditional radiator logic
would say to bring the hot water in on the top of one tank, and take the
cooler water out the bottom of the other tank, but I just don't have room for
fitting on top. I just put them both on the bottom, and it works just
fine. In other words, put them wherever they'll fit.
Cheers,
Rusty (have TIG, will
weld)
