Is there a way to evaluate the potential maximum air flow that an oil cooler can support? The restriction of the fins must limit the amount of air that can be reasonably moved through the cooler. I'd like to be able to evaluate an oil cooler and see if fans would be able to move enough air. As always I'm looking for quantitative analysis information.
I'm hoping 900 CFM would hopefully be enough air for this cooler. (28"x3.5"x3.5") (IMG:http://www.fluidyne.com/images/pg4e.gif) |

I'm hoping to get something that will work with the stock holes in the front of the trunk and mount close to front of the trunk. That would leave most of the front trunk available. Eight 90mm, 120 CFM computer fans would fit perfectly. I'm just exploring what's possible instead of just going giant and cutting correspondingly giant holes in the trunk.
Besides that cooler I was looking at a pair of 14" coolers run in parallel. They are much taller (6" I believe) and would cool better. I just came across the 28" cooler tonight and it looks nice, but maybe a little too small. |
