What do you think? Gimmick? I find the 12% figure a little hard to believe. Maybe they were just measuring inlet/outlet temperature of the filter, not OVERALL oil temperature.
(IMG:http://content.madirect.com/img300/fr2423.jpg) From the Tweeks website: Tests have revealed a 12% reduction in oil temperature thanks to the Cool Collar, a finned aluminum cooler that increases the surface area by four times, allowing it to radiate heat faster and more efficiently. Unit fits all air and water-cooled Porsche oil filters with a simple slip-on, clamp down installation. |

QUOTE(airsix @ Jul 22 2004, 12:55 PM) I think I get it. He probably measured the temp on both sides of a regular filter. Let's say (for example only - these are not real figures!) the temps were 215 going in and 212 coming out. A 3 degree change. He then measured the temp on both sides again with the heat sink in place. Let's say it was 215 going in and 211.64 coming out. The temp differential of 3 degrees increased by 12% or 0.34 degrees. There you have it a "12% increase in cooling". Now this is purely speculation and I could be wrong. But I could be right. -Ben M. I think that's a likely 12% scenario.. I'm curious, would that percent be different if the temps were converted to celcius? Or kelvin? Seems like you could make up a temperature scale to get any percentage you wanted, as long as there was SOME change. |
