Over heating -- followup and question
David:
Thanks, seems reasonable. After Pete posted his problem I checked mine out
even though I do not have overtemp problems. The last time I cleaned my the
radiator was 18,000 miles ago. I washed it out this weekend and was amazed at
how much black water came out of the oil cooler, condenser and radiator. The
bus gets dirty with road film from the rain and all of that crud is sucked into
the radiator by the fan. I will repaint my radiator black next weekend. The
condenser and oil cooler are not painted?? Any ideas on that???

They paint them black for the same reason that disc brake
calipers are painted black - heat radiation. Everything radiates
heat in the form of electromagnetic waves (energy). The ideal
is Black Body Radiation. The emissivity of a painted black
object radiates more like an ideal Black Body than other painted
colors.
