Well, here's the first one. Getting a wee bit hot. Any of you NSI chaps on 

the list still? I have the std NSI radiator and also an Earls heater 

radiator hooked to the heater circuit and goes through the water to oil 

cooler and turbo. Oil temp is good around 90degs C but water's getting to 

110+ and looses a bit of coolant and the pressure drops (I have a 10 psi 

pressure switch and light).I have an intake in the lower cowl and a plnum 

leading back to the radiator.

I've read on the SOOB list that some of the early NSI radiators were 

defective? Anyone heard of this problem? John A.

John,



Your last comment reminded me of my reaction during the early hours.  I

couldn't believe how well it flew.  I still have those feelings from time to

time and I am definitely on a bit of a high after every flight and that

after a lot of flights.



Keep the reports coming.

I am running a turbo nsi. Yes, cooling was a big problem. Is your nsi

radiator a deep aluminum?  The one for the turbo is much larger than the

stock nsi radiator. I had to whack my cowl up and put in scoops and exit

vents. Plus I put cowlings on both of the radiators, oil and water. I also

blocked off the smiley cowl intake. The last flight all was good. It was

around 85 deg. outside during the test. Do you have pics of your install?

Having just gone through this cooling thing myself, I'll relate what I

learned (and it's the same thing anyone else will tell you). This process

will take several iterations before you get what you like. Make absolutely

sure that there are no air leaks in the cowl. This got me, and I'm still

fighting it. You might try playing with different exit scoop shapes, and see

if that helps.



Basically, ensure that whatever air goes in the cowling, goes through your

rads, and then out the exits. No place else.



I made a system work that a few told me wouldn't. It can be done. It just

requires that you revisit it with new ideas and attention to detail to get

it right.



Mine works, but I'm in the SDS position right now. I feel I'm right on the

edge of acceptable, and it can be better. Still working it out, little by

little.

That one will not work. The aluminum one is twice as large. I like the way

you did your cowl. I was to far in by that time and the cooling was very big

problem. I just had to calc. frontal area and exit area and built some cowls

around the radiators. If I had to do it again and knew now what I do I would

put in what you did. You will need to move a lot of air and get rid of the

turbo and exhaust heat inside the cowl best you can. I will look around for

some pics of my mess that finally worked so far and put them on sportflight.

Yes it is. I was sent the standard one first, which I still have. Before I

installed the firewall forward NSI sent the much larger aluminum one. NSI

also failed to mention that it would need an oil cooler. That was added

later with a remote oilfilter, that also gets air flow over it. I have no

thermostate on the oil system. It runs through the radiator all the time.

Albert, I have an oil to water cooler and an extra small cooling radiator 

plus the oil sump has cooling pipes and fins and sees an airflow. Oil temp 

is good, but I think I might need that larger main radiator. John

Hi John,



What out side temps are you commonly flying in now?

What engine temps are you seeing in flight?

What will be the highest temp you would want to fly

in?



Those are needed to know whaty to design for.



One of the problems with the smiley face opening is

that it is in a very low pressure area of the cowl. 

The ram air effect is hardly able to overcome the low

pressure outside due to the curve of the cowl.  This

area is like the upper surface of the wing, except

inverted, and made worse by the side curve of the cowl

too. Very low pressure results.  The air inside of the

cowl is usually under higher pressure from the front

inlets.  This allows the lower outlet to work.  It may

not be so with your inlet to outlet pressure for your

radiator.



With a smiley face inlet, the pressure at the back of

the cowl where you want the air to go out is actually

at higher pressure, so the air almost wants to reverse

flow in and come out the smiley face!  The smiley face

is not the best inlet air location we can get.



When I first flew my NSI powered S-5 it was just cool

enough outside to handle it.  That was in the 60's F 

range.  I have the big alum. radiator but a slightly

smaller oil cooler than standard.  My initial problem

was oil temps going high (235F), so I added more

airflow and can now handle into the low 90's to keep

the oil below 220F or so.  I did this by enlarging the

smiley face to 1.5" and directing all the flow to the

oil cooler, which is below the firewall.  It works

pretty good in flight, but gets hot taxiing a long

time.



My radiator temp was the next problem.  It was OK into

the 70's, but draggy hanging out by itself.  I added a

scoop and gained 9 mph, but still have to work on

making it run comfortably above 90F and while on a

long taxi.  The exhaust size from my scoop is critical

in keeping the temps down, but I am looking at adding

VG`s in front of the scoop to see if that will help

too.  The scoop takes in boundry layer air and that is

messed up quite a bit.



Your scoop inlet up front looks pretty good, but as I

said, that is a low pressure area.  The outlet should

ideally be in a lower pressure area than the inlet. 

Neither of us have the ideal.  You might want to make

up 3 VG sets and tape them in front of your inlet

about half way up to the prop to see if that helps. 

It is a very easy fix that need not be perminent until

you know that it works.



After that, you may need to add an outlet door that

increases the opening when needed.  That will be my

next step after the VG's too.



I learned about using the VG's from a canard with NACA

scoops to the engine that was overheating.  VG's saved

the day for him.

That is a good explaination on  the smiley face. I tapped mine up because it

just took air in and back out. Flowed over and around nothing. So to improve

the inlet to outlet ratio blocking it was the logical solution. I tested my

cowling flows with a water hose behind the prop and infront of the

radiators. That is when I saw the airflow going around the radiators and

some going in the back. That is when I put the cowlings on. That made a big

difference. There are actually bugs hitting the radiator now.

Hmm Kurt, I thought that area is still pretty high pressure still where I 

have the inlet and where the radiator is is low pressure. If you look at the 

cowel around that area, thats were all the bugs hit and that's usually hight 

pressure. The plenum area to the radiator is seperate from the engine air 

except for the lower part of the sump (cooling piped and finned) and this 

sees the radiator air also. My temps are oil, around 190 F approx (we all  

C here) and water water 210F approx 110C. I also have an Earls heater 

cooler also in the heater circ which is hooked to the water/oli cooler and 

turbo. I've opened the exit area to the main cowl a bit so hope this will 

enhance the airflow to this radiator and help the intercooler as it exhausts 

into this area. The OAT is around 23c. John

Yes, smiley face....My inlet area is about one third of the radiator area 

which I read is about the right ratio?? And bugs sure do hit the inlet area 

and the radiator gets full of grass on the front so I'm pratty sure the flow 

is there but I'll try your hose trick Albert. I'll put so shots on

Hi John,



With those temps and OAT, you might get what you want

from just changing to the big alum radiator.  That

should be an easy change for you if you can get your

hands on one.



Your pics show a lot of great work and invention by

you.  You deserve to see that plane fly embarrassingly

well.    Sorry if your friends with store bought

planes won't talk to you after riding in your's later.

   Ha ha



If you take a side picture of your complete plane and

turn it upside down as in inverted flight, you can

suddenly see where the front of the cowl is a high

lift (low pressure) area.  We are used to seeing this

on our wings, but the air doesn't know right side up

from inverted, so we miss seeing what the air is doing

here because of our point of view.  We tend to think

of lift only going up, but it doesn't.



Bugs show you dynamic pressure, but not static

pressure.  In this place on the cowl the 2 are in

conflict.



VG's would net you a little more dynamic pressure, but

the bigger radiator might take care of it all.



I also have my radiator air and cowl air seperated and

agree that is the best route for cooling.



Got to go to work now.  Hope you can get an alum

radiator and fly it in confidence from then on.

 Hmm Kurt, I thought that area is still pretty high

 pressure still where I

 have the inlet and where the radiator is is low

 pressure. If you look at the

 cowel around that area, thats were all the bugs hit

 and that's usually high

 pressure. The plenum area to the radiator is

 seperate from the engine air

 except for the lower part of the sump (cooling piped

 and finned) and this

 sees the radiator air also. My temps are oil, around

 190 F approx (we all

 C here) and water water 210F approx 110C. I also

 have an Earls heater

 cooler also in the heater circ which is hooked to

 the water/oli cooler and

 turbo. I've opened the exit area to the main cowl a

 bit so hope this will

 enhance the airflow to this radiator and help the

 intercooler as it exhausts

 into this area. The OAT is around 23c. John
