It works well.

I have been beta testing one on my new designs on my car for about 3 months.

Results so far.

In 100 degree Texas humid weather it maintains about 160 degrees in stop and go traffic. It goes to 190-195 when maintaining 80 mph. on the hwy.
The temperature is controlled by an adjustable rheostat that gets it signal from a
thermostat bulb, which in turn pulls in, a relay to cycle the cooling fan on and off.


With the same summer temperature settings:

On cold days the engine temperature runs a little hotter because it takes longer to turn the fan on because the temperature bulb utilizes the radiant heat off of the radiator surface area to send a signal to a relay to turn the cooling fan on.

You will have to re-adjust the rheostat in the wintertime to set your temperature to the desired value you want to maintain. My rear cooling system has never over heated or went near or above 210 degrees under any circumstance.

And keep in mind I am running a supercharger and a motor with over 600 hp.
