I never have been accepting rads for (free) testing
Since87's and Blackeagle's were flow tested only, as a favor
the Chevette hc is deeppow's and he loaned me his Iwaki 20RLZ as well
recognizing that this simulator activity could not get off the ground without some real rad data,
I ran the Chevette hc as a freebie, the complete curves such as are useful to the product or systems designer
- I am hoping that from this we can generally characterize all hcs of similar construction AND thickness
to tie some of this together I will be testing a 'system' using the heat die simulator and the now calibrated rad pressure drop as a totally non-intrusive flow meter (slick, eh ?)
- and I hope to try 2 wbs, 2 rads, and 3 pumps
all I need is the time, a kinda substantial amount of it for this project
Blackeagle
if you look closely at the connections on the Chevette hc you can see the pressure taps, same size as the rad connections
- the numbers posted are the actual net values for just the component itself
the jackal
several different things going on (as usual)
I am completing a large study of ThermalDesigns rads which will be furnished to them - only
I suspect they will make much of it public
as a separate activity I will be using their data (should I get permission to do so) to write a user oriented article on rad/fan selection
and this data will be somewhat different than that developed for the rads designer (ThermalDesign)
this is at least several weeks off (have a fistful of new wbs to test)
there is of course much that could be written about rad design, and testing, and application
not sure that I will ever do this (even though the old article is quite deficient in many regards)
- I will be posting a more detailed description of rad testing on my site in the next several days
one program for rad (design) performance characterization,
and another for user performance guidelines
