Yes the terms dynamic and static pressure are confusing, especially when the dynamic and static feeds for the airspeed indicator are, on the Zlin's that I fly both on the same pitot head, or on some aircraft the dynamic feed is on the pitot and the static on the side of the aircraft fuselage, both in areas which are experiencing airflow...
Now, sorry Mark back to oil coolers  |
Gadzooks! what 'av i started??
George and Adrian (resident aerodynamic experts).. so... would i be correct in thinking that all the air that enters the 2 intakes once inside the nose of the fairing becomes a swirling bumbling mess? Theres enough obstructions there (wiring, connectors, steering head stem, yokes etc etc).....
right... i'm still on a tangent thanks to this forum.. in mooching around on the net yesterday (thanks Steve - Mr. R) and through one link or the other have found something i might give a go: found an oil cooler by Setrab
641
measures 8" wide by 2" deep and 1 1/4" thick which will fit in the space at the nose of the fairing behind the 2 intakes. I've also found a clever little device called a thermostat
641-10 Thermostat Twins which would open up at 80 deg C and allow oil to go to my hypothetical aditional oil cooler... failing that theres a manual version bypass valve. I've also found a thermostat at BSR Aerotek for £12.50 so could be something worth experimenting with..
All interesting stuff!
I need to know now whats the optimum oil temp range on our ducati's?
Anyone have a clue?
regards
Mark
