PT Radiator Air Scoop

[Leroy Eckert]

I am working on a design for mine based on MikeH's water flood system. It will work well but will only be needed climbing mountains in hot weather and has nothing to do with the Alarmstat control or the operation of the hydraulic fan, scoops, external electric fans, hot dogs, cold beer or anything else. Just water flood the fins on the radiator to cool her down under extreme loads while the fan is in high mode. I plan to pump the water out of the pure water holding tank if and or when needed.

I pust it to the limits of heat befor I back off stress. A mod to help overcome ambient temp influence like the radiator evaporative cooler MikeH uses is one mod I would like to try.
