Then=2C if the engine is running at cruise RPM or more=2C the wate r pump insures a good flow through the cylinder heads=2C the bubbles are pu shed downstream to the cooler and condense=2C so there is no boiling over. > > 3.2. If the engine is at idle on the ground=2C while you are waiting fo r your take off clearance=2C then it will boil over. Moreover=2C as soon as CHT reaches 110=B0C=2C you must either shut down the engine or take off qu ickly. If you wait a few more minutes and let the CHT reach 115=B0C=2C then the only choice is to take off immediately. Then the CHT will decrease ins tantly. If you shut down at this point=2C then the heat transferred from th e hot engine to the coolant will make it to exceed its boiling point and yo u are facing a big mess. > > So the only advantage of monitoring the coolant temperature would be to allow the CHT to slightly exceed 120=B0C=2C for example during a full powe r climb in very hot conditions=2C while the coolant temp would stay slightl y below 120=B0C. It seems to me this is a very marginal and risky advantage .. > > So in my opinion=2C monitoring the CHT of the hottest cylinder and cons idering the redline is 110=B0C on the ground and 120=B0C in flight is good enough. This is especially true on the Europa where cooling is very good in flight but very marginal on the ground. > > Remi Guerner > > F-PGKL=2C XS Monowheel=2C 912ULS=2C 1195 hours > > > > > > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=439699#439699 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > =========== =========== =========== =========== > > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:34:55 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Foreign registered Europa From: William Daniell It is possible that I may be transferred to the US.
