In this thrilling episode from the Rob Dahm channel, the team dives headfirst into the heart of a rotary engine cooling dilemma. With dreams of 1,000 horsepower dancing in their heads, they bid farewell to their trusty Bell intercoolers radiator, finding it lacking in the face of such monstrous heat output. Enter PWR, the saviors from the Indie Car project, with a radiator so magnificent it could make a grown man weep. This dual pass beauty promises a 30% boost in heat transfer efficiency, leaving competitors in the dust.
As the team embarks on a quest to revamp the front of their vehicle, challenges abound. The struggle to find space for intercooler piping amidst a sea of side coolers is real. But fear not, for a structural duct system is in the works, promising to revolutionize airflow and cooling efficiency. The stage is set for a showdown between the new oil coolers and the old guard, with the former boasting double the cooling capacity. It's a battle of epic proportions, with turbulators adding a touch of finesse to the heat exchange game.
Amidst the chaos and welding sparks, a stroke of genius strikes the team as they integrate the duct system into the very structure of the car. This innovative approach not only promises enhanced cooling but also adds a layer of crash protection. The team's determination to conquer the cooling conundrum is palpable, with every bend of the tube and weld of the metal bringing them one step closer to rotary engine nirvana. Stay tuned as the team races against time to unleash the full potential of their beastly machine, pushing the boundaries of engineering and performance in the pursuit of rotary perfection.
