depending on your water-body volume, and the Delta-T between ambient and your coldest spot in your system, not to forget the actual heat load your rig puts on the cooling system, it's going to vary..... Mine was set to a 3 minute on time, and that gave me a 5ยบ drop in liquid temp, which lasted my rig about 25 minutes, before it got triggered for the next stint.
My thermostat was a custom job, It not only gave me the ability to change the trigger temperature, but I could also change the length of the power-up cycle. It was configured such that if the liquid temp was constantly higher than the trigger temp, the compressor would stay on, all the time, the timer only starter ticking, when the liquid temp dropped below the trigger temp. This insured that the compressor would not get shut down in High load conditions....
hey Heavy_Equipment How are you doing.... LTNS....
