 |
|
Howdy All,
I recently bought a B & C alternator for my RV and am installing it to
replace the ole internally regulated automotive one. The old Auto type
alternator
required some fancy cooling work to bring blast air into the face of the
unit. Of course no part of the existing set up will work with the B & C
unit.
To anyone who has fitted on or knows anything about them, do you also have
to cool the B & CF unit??
I was hoping that with its internal cooling fan going the right way, it
would not
need fancy cooling shrouds etc. I posted a question to B & C but have had no
response from them as yet.

Which B&C unit are you installing----the SD-8 or SD-20? The SD-8 is
driven off the vacuum pump pad at the top right rear of Lycomings
accessory case and I think the SD-20 is also mounted there. They are
both PM units with external regulators provided. The SD-8 is happy
without any external cooling air provision. Don't "think" that is any
different for the SD-20.

Mick,
Running one on a Velocity for 4 plus years sans cooling fan. No problems.
