Cooling question - airflow - design
So, back to the first post, i was going to set a fan on the other side of this mess, and just have both of them run if either circuit needs to shed heat/needs cool air.
The fact it has a shroud i don't know is a plus or a gain for what i have going on, but $180 as is? I couldn't go wrong, and there reason for radiator purchase is as follows.
I chose this one because my frame is only so wide, and the roof is so far up, at the same time i'm out of center to use the fan that originally was on the water pump, the radiator/cooler(s) are/is going to be sitting too high since i'm running a small input shaft off the front of the crank to get power to a hydraulic pump. Factory fan blades are going to chop into my driveline.
So electric and up we go. Just need to battle CFM movement now. this radiator is 3.5" thick, and the trans cooler going behind it, is another 2-3 inches thick. and yes, the fins on the steel trans cooler are quite tight. I power washed 65 years of dirt and backed clay out of them, so that can't be a negative. Maybe i don't even need a fan on the trans cooler, but it's a risk i don't want to gamble.
i bought one of these. the transmission cooler on the machine, which is just as large as the radiator pictured, is going to sit right behind it.
