What Causes A Coolant Reservoir To Crack Into Pieces Lyrics' title='What Causes A Coolant Reservoir To Crack Into Pieces Lyrics' />The largest off roading and 4x. A fans capability is measured in CFM, as we have noted. However, the consumer needs to be careful when shopping for a fan by rated specs. Any given measurement for a fans CFM must be taken and therefore should be quoted at a given air pressure hey that sounds familiar pressure and flow being related  Man physics rocks. Too often this information is not quoted, and you can bet that the CFM spec is therefore rated at 0. PSI which is not representative of actual operating conditions. Just as important, a fans flow spec should also include the voltage provided and amount of current drawn for each pressureCFM rating.

Water Pump. Because cooling efficiency is directly related to coolant flow, the more flow the better, the higher the water pumps output the better. Typical small block water pumps flow anywhere from 3. GPM which is sufficient for stock like power in the 2. The LS series of water pumps flow about 1. GPM which is equivalent to a high flow SBC water pump and sufficient for 5 6. Aftermarket pumps for many different engines are available for the harshest racing conditions that can flow up to 1. GPM. If I were spending money on a high performance aftermarket pump, I would make sure it came supplied with a characteristic performance curve, if only to make sure that the supplier really knows his stuff, and isnt simply marketing something with a label of high flow or high performance.

The rare exception would be if you regularly run a race motor at 7. RPM or more, as this is about the max RPM that a water pump is effective at. Because of the centrifugal design, at very high speeds the water pump can cavitate and pump more air than coolant, so in this case the pump would need to be slowed down but remember, this is only true for those running consistent high RPMs. Of course, by slowing down the pump, what you gain on the top end you loose on the bottom so at low RPM the pump will be too slow and the cooling system will suffer from inadequate flow which isnt normally a concern for race cars that are always run at near max RPM. For everyone else, some claim that by under driving the water pump some horsepower can be saved, and while this may be true, the small gain is usually more than offset by power loss due to higher temperatures that result from the reduced coolant flow. On the other hand, if you suspect that you are not getting all the performance you need from your cooling system you can usually safely overdrive speed up the water pump by 2. The first indication of a weak or failing water pump may often be observed as a problem with the rear most cylinders such as a lean condition evident in plug readings or exhaust temperatures or a pre ignition condition. This is because the engine block and cylinder head water jackets form a manifold through which the water pump must pump the coolant. If the pump is unable to produce the required pressure or flow, the farthest point from the pump the rear cylinders will experience the problem first. Thermostat. My recommendation is to always use a thermostat. The reason is simple its job is to regulate operating temperatures so that the engine warms up as quickly as possible, and then remains at the designed operating temperature. Without a thermostat, the engine may take far too long to warm up, and in some conditions may not warm up properly at all. When the engine is below operating temperature the oils viscosity is too high to properly lubricate the engine, particularly the critical bearing clearances. Combustion efficiency and therefore power production, emissions, and component wear also suffer. One thing to be careful of though, when designing your system and using a thermostat, is to ensure your water pump has an internal bypass circuit refer back to 6 in the flow diagrams above. Most do, but some aftermarket high flow racing pumps do not. For these pumps, a special thermostat with a bypass hole is used, or the user drills their own bypass holes in the thermostat typically one to three 31. If you choose to run without a thermostat, do not use a restrictor. The restrictor will do nothing for you except reduce coolant flow which ultimately reduces cooling. Years ago restrictors were popular for two reasons that do not hold true today. First, as we have discussed, older radiator designs large cross sectional area copper tubes were poor at promoting the necessary coolant turbulence in the radiator, so a restrictor was used to cause the coolant to begin tumbling as it exited the engine and entered the radiator. Secondly, with engines that had the thermostat located in the outlet of the engine combined with down flow radiators that had a fairly low pressure radiator cap on the high pressure inlet side, if the thermostat was removed the increased pressure seen by the cap from the water pump could cause the caps rating to be exceeded and the valve to open and purge coolant. Since this opening of the rad cap is what regulates system pressure, it meant that the overall system pressure would now be lower the cap would open sooner than if the thermostat were in place holding backpressure in the cylinder head. Since system pressure was now lower, coolant vapour point was lower, and therefore the coolants ability to effectively carry off heat from the engine at higher temps reduced. This in turn would result in eventual overheating. Many folks erroneously assumed that the overheating was due to the coolant flowing through the radiator too quickly with the thermostat removed, that it didnt have time to cool in the rad. As a result, restrictors were used to slow the flow of the coolant and the car stopped overheating. Unfortunately, these folks didnt understand the real cause and effect of the overheating that they experienced after removing the thermostat, and this led to two enduring myths that persist today. What was really happening was that the removal of the thermostat didnt cause the coolant to flow too fast to cool we know this is an impossibility, but rather caused a condition where either system pressure and therefore coolant vapour point was lowered or where the rad purged coolant which caused the car to overheat. The end result was the same the car overheated but the cause and effect were confused and so the myths that  a removing a thermostat can cause a car to overheat and b coolant can be pumped too fast through a radiator to cool properly began. Neither of these are true. Of course, todays cross flow radiators that locate the rad cap on the low pressure side, do not subject the rad cap to the maximum pressure created by the water pump and so are not susceptible to the pump forcing coolant past the rad cap. We also know now that all systems benefit from maximum flow never from reducing flow. Ultimately, reducers reduce the flow of coolant which actually hurts system cooling efficiency, not improves it. Plumbing Bleeding Coolant hoses should be as large as possible consistent with the diameter of the water pump inlet and outlets. Small Block Chevys typically use a 1. LS motors typically use a 1. Where bends are necessary, they should be large radius bends.
