CONFIGURATION
|
There are many ways you can configure
your system. Here are a few examples to get you
thinking.
Stock Radiator & Pump
Here is an example using the stock radiator and 1 coolant
pump. This would be a "miminal" system. Your coolant temperature
would be determined by the outlet temperature of your radiator.
How effective your radiator is, and how hot the engine is running
determines your coolant temperature for the Thermal Hard Pipe.
The outlet temperature of your radiator is the coldest point in
the car's coolant system. Usually substantially colder than the
temperature you see on your car's water temperature gauge. After all,
that's what the radiator does. It cools the coolant.
Stock Radiator, Coolant Cooler & Pump
Here is another example using the stock radiator to knock
most of the temperature down, then
running the coolant through another small radiator to pull off any additional heat in the coolant
that the radiator did not remove. This arrangement
has the additional ability of getting the coolant
closer to outside ambient air temperature. This small
additional radiator could also have it's own electric
fan.
Stock Radiator & Pump & 2 THP's in Series
This example shows an arrangement with two Thermal Hard
Pipes in "Series" in the same intake system and the coolant is
plumbed in "Parallel" to introduce the same temperature
coolant to each pipe at the same time.
Since we are offering the Thermal Hard Pipes in 6, 8,
10 and 12" lengths, you can use any combination of
these lengths to achieve a longer pipe. For example
you could use a 12" and a 10" to make a 22" Thermal
Hard Pipe. Or, if you have room for a 12" pipe, choosing
two 6" pipes would prove more effective, again, because
you can introduce fresh "cool" coolant half way
through. It all depends on what you have room for
and how much cooling you are trying to achieve.
More Coolant
Each end of the Thermal Hard Pipe has "3" 3/8 NPT holes for
plumbing. Here you see another example of getting maximum
coolant flow through cooling channels.
