REFLECTOR: Oil Cooler Arrangement with Fan

[Brian Michalk]

Also for today, I tested two oil cooler arrangements.  The first was 
with the single cooler, but using split oil lines.  One down each duct.  
It was 95F today, and I think this is a better arrangement, but I still 
did hit redline on the oil temps so came back down.  I am in the process 
of analyzing the temperature deltas and oil pressures to compare three 
different arrangements:
1) single cooler, lines in one duct.
2) single cooler, split lines
3) dual coolers in series, split lines

I have the really, really big hatch.  This is looking from the nose 
towards the canard bulkhead.  See the oil cooler.  It's fed by a large 
submerged inlet, and exits through a large exhaust that's regulated by a 
big "cowl" flap.  The aluminum flapper assembly is what regulates cabin 
heat, and the secondary oil cooler mounts to that.

This is a Spal blower.  I ordered it to fit the oil cooler, and it 
really fits nicely.
