                Experiments by Ford and others show that there is =
minimal engine wear at 180 degrees.   Today I believe the thermostats =
are around 195 to 210 degrees.   This keeps all the fluids, oil and ATF, =
at optimum operating temp.

=20

I did some work for a friend on his 5.0L Mustang, a number of little =
upgrades.   One of the items was a 160 thermostat.   I spent about an =
hour telling him not to go there, that he would hate it but he insisted. =
  Later, he told me he hated it.   MPG was down and he had little cabin =
heat.

I have a MK1 with a 260 bored 0.030 over with a mild cam, headers, ford =
cast iron 4bbl intake, stock cooling system. The thermostat is a 160 and =
I was told that the cooling system would work better with a 180 =
thermostat because the system would work more efficiently and shed more =
heat at the higher temperature. Not sure if this is true but seems as =
though that may make sense.

I found that if the air temperature is below 70 the car runs around 120, =
above 80 degrees at cruising speed it stays around 160 and around 220 at =
idle. Not sure what happens when the air temperature is above 85  to 90 =
because it is no fun driving around in a microwave so I drive a backup =
911 with ac.

My 2 cents on the subject.

On Tue, Jul 5, 2022 at 10:19 PM Larry Mayfield via Tigers =

Thank you for the suggestion on finding the paper. I used exactly your =
suggestion, i.e.  =E2=80=9CTiger Tom and tiger cooling study=E2=80=9D =
and it was the first thing that popped up, lol.  I have scanned it and =
will do a more detailed review for myself as a bit of time goes on.=20

I must say these experimenters did a pretty fair job at setting up and =
conducting the experiment and making comparisons.  I am going to comment =
of the state of rigor for the experiment and what the, what I call =
missing, elements of the experiment, could mean to the final results.  =
It is going to be long winded, a natural tendency of mine, lol.=20

=20

It was not very rigorous, in my opinion.  Let me explain, lest I be =
pilloried.  There are many parameters for the air and coolant =
conditions, the state of tune for the engine, that affect the results =
which do not seem to have been addressed as the  =E2=80=9CWhy does it =
overheat at idle?=E2=80=9D  question, at least, I think that was the =
question. So, just who the dickens am I to question anything that these =
men did? Well, I spent 30+ years as a test engineer and manager for a =
large Aerospace company and did a lot of test analyses preceded by test =
design to make sure that the UUT was set up to produce the spec =
conditions and thus the results as nearly as perfectly as could be =
determined.  What these testers did was pretty dad gummed good.=20

A.      The first thing was just how bad was the engine over heating at idle? =
 The conditions should have contained a detailed description of the same =
parameters used in the test. The atmospheric conditions, the absolute =
air temperature, the absolute air pressure (not baro), the humidity, and =
altitude,  entering the system. The system is defined as everything =
surrounding the vehicle.  Why is this important? Well, the conditions =
need to be replicated each time a test run is made. If you want to know =
that the changes made later have an effect, plus or minus.  Take =
humidity, humid air has less air in it, lol. Water vapor is less dense =
that the atmospheric make up and that means that the heat transfer rate =
is altered. Wha? Yes, heat is absorbed by the mass of coolant flowing =
both in the system and then into the ambient air.  The cooling air =
enthalpy and entropy can be calculated, with the help of =
=E2=80=98steam=E2=80=99 tables and charts with this data as to how well =
the ambient can cool something.  Flow rate of the cooling air is a key =
element but so is the actual mass of the air (with humidity) that flows =
through the radiator and into the engine compartment, and then into the =
surrounding ambient air.  Heat only flows from hot to cold and the =
smaller the difference, the less heat is removed. For instance: the air =
flow rate can be measured at some altitude with a low pressure but at =
seal level with the same conditions of temp have less mass. Again, it is =
the mass of and the particulars of the air=E2=80=99s make up that is =
important   If the test was conducted in a closed room for the idle =
issue, then the air was a few degrees warmer.   If outside, the temp and =
abs pressure (psia) is needed along with the humidity to know how well =
the system was performing.=20
B.      The engine coolant needs to be examined in detail.  As has been =
stated, water is the VERY best heat transfer fluid. Adding radiator =
antifreeze is more than just to prevent the coolant from freezing, it =
also increases the boiling point. But it also adds protection to the =
iron and aluminum and other metallic components through which the =
coolant flows. An analysis for the constituents of the coolant could be =
made to determine just how effective it is as a heat transfer mechanism =
both in the engine and radiator at operating conditions. The flow rate =
through the radio need quantifying: a flow meter placed into the =
radiator water pump feed would be an excellent place to start. The flow =
rate with coolant out and the exit temperature and pressure measured, =
And the ambient conditions at that time, a better analysis of any =
changes can be made.  It should be noted that there are two other =
methods of cooling that come into play as well. That is convection and =
conduction. The conduction of heat through the block, the oil in the pan =
and pan, the head(s),  and anything that has coolant in it all come into =
play, so al the heat transfer coefficients of the materials need to be =
acquired along with their surface area and external conditions found in =
order to get an accurate analysis.  Another is radiation from the =
surfaces of the engine. The heat signatures or the infrared heat so to =
speak send heat out as photons heating everything the radiation touches. =
And convection, the air that cools the exterior of the engine as well as =
the engine bay must have air flow to remove the heat:  those surfaces =
all need to be monitored as well. =20
C.      Lastly, for me anyway, is the state of turn of the engine. The air =
fuel ration needs to be monitored and the engine put into the best =
operating performance it can achieve. For instance, a lean burn is =
hotter, so if the AFR is high then as most racer know, the system will =
melt pistons (been there, done that).  The stochiometric air fuel ratio =
needs to be the same for every test.  At the best burn value.  Even a =
too rich burn can cause excess heat. The engine air inlet temp and air =
pressure should be monitored for analysis of fuel burn condition that =
leads to unexpected heat being generated.  Flow meters on the engine air =
intake and fuel as well as air and fuel temperature are needed.=20

Was the experiment invalid? No, it was not. It provided useful, =
information that many had not through about and there are things that =
were made to that should have changed the results more than they =
appeared to change.  I congratulate them for the effort they put into =
this!=20

=20

If I was to do this experiment today, I would use a lot of electronics =
for concise parameter recording and then do a deeper analysis of the =
effect of the changeable components.  I would get myself an Arduino Mega =
2560 module, a pile of temp sensors to stock on everything , a handful =
of pressure sensors, water and fuel flow meters,  A good thermodynamics =
textbook and go at it.  The Arduino IDE has a serial data output =
capability which can be recorded as well as a serial plotter which can =
display and record all  the data channels virtually simultaneously. All =
can be exported to excel if needed for individual parameter display. =20

=20

Or just drive and remind yourself that this car was designed a long time =
ago an dstuff just sometimes has to be accepted, lol. I would consider =
doing a repeat of the work done to date with my additions, except for =
the notion that I am not in the twilight of my years, but rather closer =
to the cinderela time, the clock is ticking now for sure at me =
approaching 81 years of age and slowing way, way, down.=20

Assuming all those things are done, evans is still not quite up to the =
job in my car.  Most of those cooling tricks are for slow moving car.  =
My car ran too hot even at speed with evans and the less than perfect =
radiator.  As I said, with a better radiator or with water instead it is =
fine.

=20

My reason for preferring brass is that it can be easily soldered.  I =
struggled on for a long time with my brass radiator but eventually it =
was just too stress fatigued and needed frequent repair.  If I could get =
a new brass one I would certainly prefer that.

=20

Il giorno sab 2 lug 2022 alle 17:36 LARRY PAULICK <lpaulick1@verizon.net =

Another issue is aluminum versus brass radiators.  Aluminum radiators =
are lighter but  brass transfers heat more efficiently.

=20

When I redid my tiger, I used a three row versus a stock two row brass =
retaining the top, bottom, and sides so that the fit was not affected.

=20

Also if you're replacing or having overheating problems, a closed =
impeller type water pump is much more efficient. Some aftermarket =
companies sell them already set up this way, but you can buy just the =
impeller plate from Summit for a very low price and install it yourself. =
Pumping efficiency is greatly improved.

=20

TEAE did a study many years ago on all aspects of cooling. This =
excellent engineering study is still applicable today and well worth =
reading, dispelling a lot of myths.

=20

Another design problem with the tiger is that there is no lower portion =
of the fan shroud. As a result, hot air is removed from the radiator =
then goes down to the ground and circles back through the front of the =
radiator, at rest.

=20

I know this for a fact since I did smoke test and watched the air =
recirculating.

=20

I fabricated a lower fan shroud from sheet metal, and made a low cost =
plastic air dam that comes down about 4 inches, to help the flow of air =
through the radiator and continue towards the rear of the car while in =
motion.

=20

Bottom line it all works and I don't overheat.

=20

I have to laugh at the commentos who keeps saying that the V8 takes up =
so much space that that's why they overheat. Just look at today's cars =
and how they fill the engine bay and it becomes apparent this is another =
myth.

=20

Yep.  I run in most cars with no problems but in the tiger with the =
500hp motor I needed every bit of efficiency possible so had to switch =
off even back to water and antifreeze.  It worked sort of ok with the =
dale radiator but then I switched to another brand radiator and it just =
couldn=E2=80=99t keep the temps down.   Pretty sure it would be doable =
with an efficient and lower power motor if all the other cooling =
problems were taken care of.

=20

Il giorno sab 2 lug 2022 alle 16:05 Buck Trippel via Tigers =

In August of the hot summer of 2019 (aren=E2=80=99t they all hot now?) I =
put Evans in a Tiger which has an excellent two row aluminum radiator in =
front of a rather stock 289. My wife and I put the Tiger through an =
almost 5-thousand mile road test by driving from Los Angeles to La =
Crosse via I80/I90 to attend the TEAE United and then Route 66 on the =
way home. Temperatures were frequently at 100 degrees. So it got quite a =
test.

=20

The Evans did not boil but with hot outside air temperatures its =
inferior specific heat (to water) could not remove adequately remove the =
engine heat.=20

=20

The carb got so hot the fuel percolated (boiled) inside the bowls and =
the engine stalled lean. This weakness was exacerbated at altitudes =
above 4-thousand feet. In Pueblo, with OATs near 100 I ended up on the =
same AAA tow truck twice on the same day. I then gave up and reluctantly =
drained maybe half of the the costly coolant out, replacing it with =
plain water so I could get home. However the percolation reoccurred =
crossing the Mojave in the 115 degree August temps. At home I replaced =
the Evans with water, adding Water Wetter for corrosion protection.=20

=20

I don=E2=80=99t have the numbers off the top of my head but the specific =
heat (or ability to transfer heat) of water is 1.00 while Evans is =
something like .65 or only 2/3 that of water. For me, Evans just did not =
do the job. From my experience I=E2=80=99d say one would have to be =
exceptionally brave to use it, especially with a stock radiator system =
or with a more powerful engine which will place even more demand on the =
Tiger=E2=80=99s weak cooling system. (BTW in the Tiger we drove on that =
trip, we had removed the stock block under the carb that hot radiator =
fluid passes through which probably have made even more of a problem.)

=20

Buck Trippel

Ps I wrote up some of this years ago and I believe it contained a more =
detailed account of Evans heating issues on the trip =E2=80=93 I think =
it was published in both the TEAE and CAT newletters.
