KR> Oil cooling

2008-10-12 Thread Ron Lee
I had problems with high oil temps so did three things to
improve the Exit/Low pressure side of the system.

1)  Remove unneeded "extra" heater ducting

2)  Opened up the cowl bottom about three inches to increase
the exit air opening

3)  Added louvers in the bottom of the cowl.

All three contributed to getting the oil temp down to an acceptable
level.

Has anyone tried extruded aluminum cooling fins that clamp over the oil 
filter that is sold by Aircraft Spruce? Sounds neat, if it works.

Larry,

I bought one from JC Whitney to help with the cooling. If it doesn't work
a screwdriver can remove it. My engine hasn't started, so I don't know
if it helps yet.

If anyone is looking for Foam here is a surplus contact:

Hello,
Are you or anyone you know still looking for Trymer foam?
I have 300,000 to 350,000 board ft of Trymer that I need to get
out of wharehousing. I will sell dirt cheap.

The material is made by Hitherm, Hitherm.net
it is the HT-300 rated for up to 300  degrees F and sustains 
intermittent 350
degree F temps. Its properties are the same as the Trymer 2000. it has a
better k factor than the Trymer 2000.sorry about the confusion, it was 
called
a Trymer insulation when I was presented with it. We are asking $0.20 per
board foot. it is in 4ft wide x 3 ft long x  2 ft high buns.
The material is in Santa Anna, California.
Thank you
Jerry O'Hern
