Exhaust and radiator design literature....???

Exhaust and radiator design literature....???

Exhaust and radiator design literature....???

(OP)
Hello all,

I am trying to build a very small generator and am looking to build a purpose made exhaust and cooling radiator system for it.  

Could any one help as to where to find some easy to read info on the theory and practical building of these units.  

I have looked into buying ready made units but have found nothing as small as I need.  

If you help I would be very greatful.

Kind regards,

Andy T

RE: Exhaust and radiator design literature....???

For reading about radiators, ie. heat exchangers, I recomend Compact Heat Exchangers by Kays and London and from there look to any other heat exchanger book you can find in order to fill in the neccesary information to design the radiator. As for building a radiator, try and find a local radiator shop and they should be able to build one to the specs you want as long as certian dimensions are close to normal like fin height and tube sizes.

Hope this helps.

RE: Exhaust and radiator design literature....???

before you build your engine if you have alreday decided on the HP and location of engine running,water pump discharge fan design either motor driven or shaft driven you can pick  araditor from the shelf or after discussing with your local rad. man/sevice shop.
this will reduce your time to pick a radiator and fix the right one. since your enfine is going to stable you need a Heavy duty radiator with more water capacity and a fan desghn which pushes air out thru. the radiator. hope this will help you
