Transport Truck Radiator Pressure Drop?
Transport Truck Radiator Pressure Drop?
(OP)
I'm piecing together a cooling system for an engine test lab, and am looking at using a transport truck radiator. Does anyone know approximate flow rates and pressure drop for these? I've been looking all over the web and without luck. I know that they can dissapate around 10,000 Btu/min, which is more than adequate from what I am using, but I'd need to know the other info for pump sizing.
Thanks,
Thanks,

Maybe this will help anyway:
A Cat 3306B DITA (200..300BHP) for marine use has a coolant pump that moves 53 gpm at 1800 engine rpm at 15.7 feet of water.

Lay your radiator flat on a table (or preferably in a big sink).
Connect a hose to one of the radiator connections.
Connect the other end of the hose to a known volume of water.
Raise the volume to a known height above the radiator, time how long it takes for the water to fall out.
Repeat for other heights.

MintJ - thanks for the advice, I might take that on once I get said radiator, but currently I'm wondering what type of donor vehicle to look for in a scrap yard.
