Dear Stephen,


           You wrote:   "Being an engineer who has designed air-cooled heat

inch suckers, especially when moving down the road at low speeds."


     That is surprising.   It seems like it is settled science that sucker
fans are more efficient, therefore they should beat the 12 pushers.


     As an engineer, are sucker fans inherently more efficient?   So there
is some reason  why my old Mariah pusher fans continue to cool the
radiator??


                     Very curious,  Chuck Engles

Being an engineer who has designed air-cooled heat exchangers I get a
chuckle out of the logic some of the vendors use.  I can easily understand
why Marshall would believe multiple passes would be better - but there are
so many other issues - turbulence being a biggie, and the reality that the
limiting heat transfer coefficient is on the air side, making things like
the heat transfer coefficient of the metals involved a lot less important.

As the folks at FlowKooler commented when I was talking to them about a
radiator - it all comes down to cfm of air...  Well, perhaps not all, but it
matters a lot.

Which makes the system offered by Pantera Performance (two 13-inch sucker
fans) and Hall (two 12 inch pusher fans) both odds-on favorites.  Whilst I
am not about to try to run the calcs, I suspect that the 12 inch pushers
will beat the 13 inch suckers, especially when moving down the road at low
speeds.

Still scratching my head on what to replace the Fluidyne with.

It seems like experience and opinions on radiator are all over the place.
The Stewart web site
(http://stewartcomponents.com/index.php?route=information/information&inform
ation_id=13) has a technical article that says benefits from a modern multi
pass radiator are a myth:





Tech Tip #5 - Radiators & External Plumbing Radiators  Thicker radiators do
have slightly more airflow resistance than thinner radiators but the
difference is minimal. A 4" radiator has only approximately 10% more airflow
resistance than a 2" radiator.
In past years, hot rodders and racers would sometimes install a thicker
radiator and actually notice decreased cooling. They erroneously came to the
conclusion that the air could not flow adequately through the thick
radiator, and therefore became fully heat-saturated before exiting the rear
of the radiator core. The actual explanation for the decreased cooling was
not the air flow, but the coolant flow. The older radiators used the narrow
tube design with larger cross section. Coolant must flow through a radiator
tube at a velocity adequate to create turbulence.
The turbulence allows the water in the center of the tube to be forced
against the outside of the tube, which allows for better thermal transfer
between the coolant and the tube surface. The coolant velocity actually
decreases, and subsequently its ability to create the required turbulence,
in direct relation to the increase in thickness. If the thickness of the
core is doubled, the coolant velocity is halved. Modern radiators, using
wide tubes and less cross section area, require less velocity to achieve
optimum thermal transfer. The older radiators benefited from baffling inside
the tanks and forcing the coolant through a serpentine configuration. This
increased velocity and thus the required turbulence was restored.
Radiators with a higher number of fins will cool better than a comparable
radiator with less fins, assuming it is clean. However, a higher fin count
is very difficult to keep clean. Determining the best compromise depends on
the actual conditions of operation.
Double pass radiators require 16x more pressure to flow the same volume of
coolant through them, as compared to a single pass radiator. Triple pass
radiators require 64x more pressure to maintain the same volume. Automotive
water pumps are a centrifugal design, not positive displacement, so with a
double pass radiator, the pressure is doubled and flow is reduced by
approximately 33%. Modern radiator designs, using wide/thin cross sections
tubes, seldom benefit from multiple pass configurations. The decrease in
flow caused by multiple passes offsets any benefits of a high-flow water
pump.
Gross flow radiators are superior to upright radiators because the radiator
cap is positioned on the low pressure (suction) side of the system. This
prevents the pressure created by a high-flow water pump from forcing coolant
past the radiator cap at high RPM. As mentioned in the radiator cap section,
an upright radiator should be equipped with radiator cap with the highest
pressure rating recommended by the manufacturer. The system will still force
coolant past the cap at sustained high RPM. 
  


Kinda hard to know what the current truth is?  Maybe 30 years ago a
multi-pass was better but not with a modern radiator?

In reference to the Independent Antique Radiator described below, I would be
a little skeptical about having only 3 rows and more concerned about coolant
making only one pass through the unit. I believe the coolant should make two
passes through the radiator to properly cool the liquid.

JMHO....

 Mishimoto:
 
 
    Charles,
    Thanks for the E-mail!
    Unfortunately, at this time we do not  offer an aluminum radiator for
    the DeTomaso Pantera. I am sorry for any  inconvenience. However, I will
    be happy to add your information to our  product suggestion list! If we
    do decide to come out with a product that  matches your description, we
    will be sure to contact you!
    Please let me know if there is anything  else I can help with!
    Mishimoto strives for the best Customer  Service. Have I fully resolved
    any questions or concerns you were
 contacting us about today?
    Thanks,
 
    Gerry - thanks for the info... Quite  interested, although a little
    turned off by the fact that I would need  new tubes under the chassis. A
    few years ago I bought all new SS tubing  (so that it would never wear
    out!!) Let us know how you like it - I'm  thinking that Santa would be a
    perfect guy to guy shopping for me, so I'm  not in a hurry but am
    keeping my eyes open for the best
 solution

       Independent Antique Radiator in
 Algonquin, Illinois , will be
    selling an all brass, 3 core, extruded  tube (no seams), single pass
    radiator that is a direct replacement for  a Pantera radiator. It even
    has the new dimpled fins for more heat  dissapation........designed for
    the air conditioning condenser to be  mounted in front and sucker fans
    recommended by Jon Haas to be mounted  behind.
       This radiator has the heat sensor screw  in mounted on the drivers
    side as recommended by John Haas and  included in his radiator fan
    controller kit.
        This radiator requires new
 tubes to be made from the under chassis
    tubes.....Inlet on the passenger side and  outlet on the drivers side.
         Current prototype is running in  my car. The radiator should  be
    available in about 2 weeks....$650.00 .+  shipping..I can send pictures.

   Dear Stephen,

              You wrote:   "Being an engineer who has designed air-cooled
   heat exchangers"....and... "I suspect that the 12 inch pushers will
   beat the 13 inch suckers, especially when moving down the road at low
   speeds."

        That is surprising.   It seems like it is settled science that
   sucker fans are more efficient, therefore they should beat the 12
   pushers.

        As an engineer, are sucker fans inherently more efficient?   So
   there is some reason  why my old Mariah pusher fans continue to cool
   the radiator??

                        Very curious,  Chuck Engles

   Being an engineer who has designed air-cooled heat exchangers I get a
   chuckle out of the logic some of the vendors use.  I can easily
   understand why Marshall would believe multiple passes would be better -
   but there are so many other issues - turbulence being a biggie, and the
   reality that the limiting heat transfer coefficient is on the air side,
   making things like the heat transfer coefficient of the metals involved
   a lot less important.

   As the folks at FlowKooler commented when I was talking to them about a
   radiator - it all comes down to cfm of air...  Well, perhaps not all,
   but it matters a lot.

   Which makes the system offered by Pantera Performance (two 13-inch
   sucker fans) and Hall (two 12 inch pusher fans) both odds-on
   favorites.  Whilst I am not about to try to run the calcs, I suspect
   that the 12 inch pushers will beat the 13 inch suckers, especially when
   moving down the road at low speeds.

   Still scratching my head on what to replace the Fluidyne with.

   It seems like experience and opinions on radiator are all over the
   place.  The Stewart web site
   ([5]http://stewartcomponents.com/index.php?route=information/informatio
   n&information_id=13) has a technical article that says benefits from a
   modern multi pass radiator are a myth:

   Tech Tip #5 - Radiators & External Plumbing Radiators  Thicker
   radiators do have slightly more airflow resistance than thinner
   radiators but the difference is minimal. A 4" radiator has only
   approximately 10% more airflow resistance than a 2" radiator.

   In past years, hot rodders and racers would sometimes install a thicker
   radiator and actually notice decreased cooling. They erroneously came
   to the conclusion that the air could not flow adequately through the
   thick radiator, and therefore became fully heat-saturated before
   exiting the rear of the radiator core. The actual explanation for the
   decreased cooling was not the air flow, but the coolant flow. The older
   radiators used the narrow tube design with larger cross section.
   Coolant must flow through a radiator tube at a velocity adequate to
   create turbulence.

   The turbulence allows the water in the center of the tube to be forced
   against the outside of the tube, which allows for better thermal
   transfer between the coolant and the tube surface. The coolant velocity
   actually decreases, and subsequently its ability to create the required
   turbulence, in direct relation to the increase in thickness. If the
   thickness of the core is doubled, the coolant velocity is halved.
   Modern radiators, using wide tubes and less cross section area, require
   less velocity to achieve optimum thermal transfer. The older radiators
   benefited from baffling inside the tanks and forcing the coolant
   through a serpentine configuration. This increased velocity and thus
   the required turbulence was restored.

   Radiators with a higher number of fins will cool better than a
   comparable radiator with less fins, assuming it is clean. However, a
   higher fin count is very difficult to keep clean. Determining the best
   compromise depends on the actual conditions of operation.

   Double pass radiators require 16x more pressure to flow the same volume
   of coolant through them, as compared to a single pass radiator. Triple
   pass radiators require 64x more pressure to maintain the same volume.
   Automotive water pumps are a centrifugal design, not positive
   displacement, so with a double pass radiator, the pressure is doubled
   and flow is reduced by approximately 33%. Modern radiator designs,
   using wide/thin cross sections tubes, seldom benefit from multiple pass
   configurations. The decrease in flow caused by multiple passes offsets
   any benefits of a high-flow water pump.

   Gross flow radiators are superior to upright radiators because the
   radiator cap is positioned on the low pressure (suction) side of the
   system. This prevents the pressure created by a high-flow water pump
   from forcing coolant past the radiator cap at high RPM. As mentioned in
   the radiator cap section, an upright radiator should be equipped with
   radiator cap with the highest pressure rating recommended by the
   manufacturer. The system will still force coolant past the cap at
   sustained high RPM.


   Kinda hard to know what the current truth is?  Maybe 30 years ago a
   multi-pass was better but not with a modern radiator?

   In reference to the Independent Antique Radiator described below, I
   would be a little skeptical about having only 3 rows and more concerned
   about coolant making only one pass through the unit. I believe the
   coolant should make two passes through the radiator to properly cool
   the liquid.

   JMHO....

       Charles,

       Thanks for the E-mail!

       Unfortunately, at this time we do not  offer an aluminum radiator
   for

       the DeTomaso Pantera. I am sorry for any  inconvenience. However, I
   will

       be happy to add your information to our  product suggestion list!
   If we

       do decide to come out with a product that  matches your
   description, we

       will be sure to contact you!

       Please let me know if there is anything  else I can help with!

       Mishimoto strives for the best Customer  Service. Have I fully

       any questions or concerns you were

    contacting us about today?

       Thanks,


       Gerry - thanks for the info... Quite  interested, although a little

       turned off by the fact that I would need  new tubes under the
   chassis. A

       few years ago I bought all new SS tubing  (so that it would never
   wear

       out!!) Let us know how you like it - I'm  thinking that Santa would
   be a

       perfect guy to guy shopping for me, so I'm  not in a hurry but am

       keeping my eyes open for the best

    solution
