Re: thermostats (score: 1): Author: "Anthony Rhodes" <spamiam@comcast.net>; Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 18:27:59 -0400; I was not aware that there was a factory approved thermostat interchange with a non-sleeved type. For what it is worth, my 4A (CTC73336) was supplied with a sleeved thermostat from the factory. Smith; /html/triumphs/2005-10/msg00637.html (8,291 bytes)

RE: thermostats (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 16:11:20 -0700; Probably about the same amount that went into engineering these cars in the first place.

26. Re: thermostats (score: 1): Author: Dave1massey@cs.com; Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2005 10:39:37 EDT; Huh? Pardon me but the job of the radiator is to remove heat. Since this is an inline process the performance of a radiator is measured in BTU/Hour (or Kilocalories per hour). A BTU is the amount of; /html/triumphs/2005-10/msg00662.html (9,314 bytes)
27. RE: thermostats (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2005 10:06:18 -0700; I disagree. The thermodynamic equation for the heat dissipated by the surface of the radiator cares nothing for how fast the water is moving inside, only what the temperature at the surface is.

The question is, how much less heat. I am suggesting that it is not much less, that the heat removed by the radiator is pri; /html/triumphs/2005-10/msg00680.html (10,547 bytes)

Re: thermostats (score: 1): Author: Hoyt <hoyt@cavtel.net>; Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2005 23:43:46 -0400; But too big a pump (too large a GPM rating) doesn't leave the water and air in contact with each other long enough and reduces efficiency.

Since the sleeved thermostat has not been ubiquitous, the "design" has changed and I'd guess that the by-pass is not sized correctly in that event.

RE: thermostats (score: 1): Author: Nicholas Wolf <nwolf@u.washington.edu>; Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 00:26:27 -0700 (PDT); Hi Randall Are you really suggesting NOT to put a restrictor in the bypass line?

Re: thermostats (score: 1): Author: Dave1massey@cs.com; Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 13:24:55 EDT; So when you said the amount of flow through the radiator has no effect on the amount of heat disipated what you really meant was a small decrease in flow has a trivial effect on the amount of heat di; /html/triumphs/2005-10/msg00700.html (9,108 bytes)

36. RE: thermostats (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 10:45:44 -0700; Right. The flow rate has only an indirect effect on heat dissipated, the temperature of the water is what's important. But to the extent that flow rate affects temperature, it will also affect heat; /html/triumphs/2005-10/msg00702.html (9,593 bytes)
37. Re: thermostats (score: 1): Author: Dave1massey@cs.com; Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 13:46:56 EDT; I think you are confusing heat quality and heat quantity. Moving the water through the radiator more slowly will result in a higher temperature change in the water passing through but since there is; /html/triumphs/2005-10/msg00703.html (9,007 bytes)

It's a box on the back of the radiator that has a hole only large enough for the fan blade.
