| Subject: | What is the max temp for Ducati regulator? |
I figured out that I can read temperatures from my Ilec SC-7 variometer for about
a buck per sender. Curious what would be the max temperature you would want
to allow your Ducati regulator to reach in order to achieve a reasonable service
life? At which specific location on the regulator would you want to monitor?
Thx.

Mounting the Ducati on the front passenger footwell inside the intake air
plenum is what I did to keep it cool.

Hi Kevin
Thx. for the reply.
"Mounting the Ducati on
the front passenger footwell inside the intake air plenum is what I did to
keep it cool." I have a 914 monowheel with intercooler. No intake
plenum. What physical temperature in F or C do you consider cool for the
Ducati? What location would that be on the ducati?
Thx.

The ducati regulator doesn't have a reasonable service life; it burns up fine at
any temperature so the temp probably doesn't matter.
I considered putting a small computer muffin fan on mine but have found it's just
easier to keep Lockwood's order line no. handy in my cell phone so I can call
them up quick when it burns out.
I'm on my plane's 3rd one now (if my count is right) and don't plan on this being
the last one ;)

What motor do you have? How many continuous amps are you
drawing? I kinda thought if you keep regulator as cool as you can that if
you obey 12 amps max. continuous that the regulators last for a semi
reasonable time?
Thx.

I too have the 914 with intercooler mounted on top of what I referred to
as the intake plenum, where the air filter is fed by a NACA vent in the
cowl, all sealed up with baffle material. I have no temp sender in
there, but it must be just about the lowest temp location available FWF.

Hi Y'all,
Kevin is probably correct about that being the coolest place on a 914 installation.
Might not be a bad place to mount the Ducatti. Lots of fresh air coming
in there.
I find that the Ducatti regulator has the longest longevity when you don't use
it. I installed an alternator on the back of the gearbox and it has a separate
voltage regulator powering my main buss. I have a switch installed that can
swap over to the Rotax electrical power just in case my main alternator fails
and I need enough power to get to "NRST" airport on the GPS.

I don't have a pic handy, but my intercooler was purchased through
Europa FL when John Hurst was there. It came with mounting instructions.
You make a cuttout on top of the aluminum sheet that forms the area I am
refering to as the" intake plenum", the K&N air filter protrudes into
this area fed by the NACA on the port lower cowl. I mounted the Ducati
regulator on the front passenger footwell, inside this cold air intake
area. The whole thing is sealed up with baffle stuff to the lower cowl
and around the air filter too, so air comming through the NACA is forced
through the intercooler.

Hi Ron,
Here's a pretty good pic of where Kevin is talking about:
http://www.europaowners.org/forums/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=64421
Mounted there on the aluminum face that's the front of the passenger wheel well.
Right there about where the CD6 is printed upside-down.

I did not even mount mine, threw it out. I use a Schicke GR6 from Germany specifically designed as a replacement for the Ducatti regulator. See http://www.schicke-electronic.de/dgr3.htm
If I remember correctly price about Euro95.

Speaking of the Shicke regulator, if anyone runs across a US distributor for these
(or some other way of getting hold of these without paying an arm and a leg),
please post something to the list.
I'd love to replace my ducati when it burns out again with one of these.
Thanks,
LS
