Hi Guys..
I see the Cool Collar strikes again..sorry I couldn't take it any longer reading and watching the posted threads was more than I could take. I told myself I wouldn't reply or post anymore threads that had to do with this Genil contraption.
Some of you may be aware of a complementary device that I fabricated a few weeks back that I called for lack of a better name the "Cool Fan" Well My preliminary test results are complete.
I would like to add that these test were not performed in a lab or any testing facility. But were conducted on mt 1977 911S
with a very recently rebuilt 2.7 which most of you would concider a stock performer. I do have a 28 row cooler, No themal reactors,
Modified dual out exhaust, Heat shields on lower Valve covers and No smog equiptment of any kind.
The test equipment I used has been posted on a earlier thread so I wont relist it. Instrumentation was installed on the following Locations: Suspended in Engine compartment, Oil Filter body, and Inside of oil resivoir Tank.
Testing: A total of three individual tests were performed
Test Conditions: Weather Temps 92 Deg F
1. Base line Test, No collar, No Cool Fan
2. Cool Collar Installed.
3. Cool Collar and Cool fan Installed.
1. Base Line Test:
Car was driven to reach operating temp 190 Deg F at which time instumentation was checked and Temp recordings were made.
After recordings car was then brought on the freeway, RPMS were held at 5K for a period of 45 mins. recorded Temp readings.
Engine Temp reached 219 Deg F.
2. Cool Collar installed.
allowed Engine temps to cool down to 170 Deg F before Car was Started and brought up to operating temp.
Repeated Freeway driving conditions as in test 1. Recorded Temp readings.
3. Cool Collar and Cool fan Installed.
like before Engine was allowed to cool down to 170 Deg F before Car was Started and brought up to operating temp.
Repeated Freeway driving conditions as in test 1and 2. . Recorded Temp readings. My Findings were as follows,
Weather Temp 92 Deg F
Ambient Engine compartment Temp:
T-1 117 Deg F, T-2 124 Deg F, T-3 127 Deg F
Oil Filter Body Temp:
