Coolant Flow vs External Restriction


the first plot illustrates coolant flow to the radiator for various
restriction radiator packages. The second plot is the same data plotted by rpm.

The data can be used to predict radiator coolant flow rates for a given restriction cooling package. Additionally, the data can be used for troubleshooting
by measuring engine outlet and engine inlet pressures and then predicting what the flow rate should be. This can be used to troubleshoot cooling tests, field issues, etc.

This data is generated with a blocked open stat, 50/50 E.G./Water mix, and without a pressure cap.
