We find that explanations marked "for dummies" are usually the most efficient for us to understand things quickly :D Next video may or may not be about a post-Hel potential V12 engine. Not looking at v16 engines for the moment.
Its a shame you didnt go a little bit more into ewp, thermostat use and the rad block off. The recommendations by Davies Craig, and some "pros" that say thermostats should be removed, and that controlling temp by only adjusting water pump speed is quite a worry (or is it? I gather very cold coolant flowing slowly is not ideal).
This topic came up in discussions with a customer. Which has clearly been misinformed about the topic. Most likely a lot of others must be understanding engine cooling wrong. So we decided to explain how this works to everyone. Adequate coolant massflow is extremely important for evening out the temps in the engine. And also to prevent hot spots from overheating. Water pump speed should *never* be used to control coolant temp when a race engine is being pushed hard. Idle area is fine though. Removing the thermostat is completely ok, but if coolant temp then needs to be adjusted, it has to happen on the radiator side.
@@ElmerRacing at low loads is having slow moving comparatively cold coolant entering the engine a concern? My worry is having temperature imbalance across the block/head and between cylinders.
We would not think that it would be a problem even on cast engines. Certainly not on our engines at least. As long as coolant mass flow is low, it won't "thermal shock" the engine. However, it's still possible to locally overheat areas of the engine if there isn't enough flow. On larger engines internal temperature differences might get big enough to crack the block/head due to thermal difference caused stress (like on ship-size engines). If the coolant flow is too small.
Wonderfully simply explained
This is my kind of video. Not because I need help cooling my engine, because it's for dummies. Right up my alley.
V16 development in consideration?

Tungsten engine lets go!!!!
No problem!
for what?? What would the benefit of an engine that heavy be??
The Slick: that's a reference to the intro joke. High temperature strength.
Did you ever do a vid on solid state electronics that are infiltrating motorsports?
Not explicitly. We are still working on our in-house XEMS control electronics though!

Hei kiinnostaisi tietää kuinka optimoida öljynkierto vakio moottoreissa/sumppukoneissa tms.
Dry sump oil system function and design is a good suggestion for a future "for dummies" episode!
@@ElmerRacing Thats for me
