Subject: | Oil Temperature again |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Barahona Alonso, Francisco Javier" <Javier.Barahona@aeasa.com>
In my first flight (over 35 C ambient temperature) I got very high oil temperature.
I decided to modify the oil cooler position to just below the spinner. Additionally,
I installed some spacers in the lower cowling screws, under de exhaust,
to increase the hot air exit surface.
The modifications have performed satisfactorily. In my opinion they are necessary
to operate in high temperature climates.
In winter I need to mask with tape the openings in both water and oil coolers to
avoid too mach cooling.
Perhaps you can try with the spacers in the lower cowling before changing the oil
cooler position.
Best regards

Asunto: Europa-List: Oil Temperature again
--> Europa-List message posted by: <peter.rees05@ntlworld.com>
We are still experiencing exceedingly high oil temps on G-MFHI (they would rise
about 140 if we didnt throttle back). CHT seems a little high at 115 to.
Ive tried blocking the bottom of the cowl out to give better airflow. I spoke to
David Hunter today who suggested moving the oil cooler from behind the Port
Rad (HI is a Classic) to the lower cowl, just below the spinner.
Has anyone else experienced these kind of temperatures? Has anyone moved the cooler
on a classic if so, was it successful? If so, did the mod go through the
PFA? Any photos / drawings would be fantastic.
Probably a bit of a dumb question but, Ill ask anyway could the fact that the
prop is set very course (about 18 degrees) be loading the engine too much and
hence, thats why its running so hot.
Thanks in anticipation
Peter

Kim Prout in the US also used to sell a "center wheel" speed fairing. His
website seems to be down though.

Perhaps you were looking at Alex Bowman's unique Europa, powered by a Honda
engine. It's not just a special fairing, but a whole custom cowl to go with
the engine. You can see pictures at http://www.firewall.ca/Europa.html.

I've finished with my trigear fueslage dolly. It's free to anyone who can
collect it - I'm based in Cambridge. Its welded steel tube so you'll need
some sort of trailer or a strong roofrack.
You can find a picture at
http://www.antsol.com/europaphotos.nsf/plinks/ALAR-6FUSD3
I'll give it a few weeks before chopping it up.
Alan.
