Subject: Re: [Healeys] Radiator shovel


Regarding this subject the term =91shovel=94 is generally used to describe =
a =93coal shovel=94 shaped scoop to intercept the air stream forcing air in=
to something.



The two pieces on a 100, especially the flat bottom panel, are there to dir=
ect air coming through the grille to the radiator core and minimize the air=
 from redirecting under the radiator/chassis.  The later cars use the two s=
ide splash panels that attempts to control the air flow to the radiator wit=
h out the lower flat panel used on the 100.



The shovel scoop as shown in Simons photo actually scoops the air from bene=
ath the front of the car and forces it up towards the rad core. At speed th=
is would potentially increase the air flow through the core.  Sounds good b=
ut in most cases the air flow and the cooling ability of the stock setup on=
 our cars is adequate at speed.



This once again gets back to the fact that most of our cooling problems are=
 while idling when the stock fans produce very little cubic feet of air flo=
w. Increase the stock fans to 2000 RPM and the fan is now producing more CF=
M than most of the smaller (12 Inch diameter or so) electric fans on the ma=
rket. I ran the numbers a year or two ago and do not remember the exact num=
bers as that sheet of paper has been lost in my sea of Healey info.  I may =
have posted that info to the list back then but that source also did not pr=
oduce any results.



Hope everyone is having a fun day=85.we are about to get, in the next few d=
ays, the first dusting of snow for the season. That is if you trust the wea=
ther folks.

Perry
