intercoolers
Skyking
I am now a believer in magic... The intercoolers provide additional airspeed with no other drawbacks...... Right ?
(what is missing with the data Skyking is the Fuel Flow differences running similiar ROPs. None of the Intercooler mfgrs bothered to include these when selling intercoolers).
Basically it reduces the Upper deck air temp creating additional cooling and subsequent O2. But what about fuel flow figures.
If I try and run the AC using "book" figures it doesn't work. You are at least 1 gph richer / engine to run with same EGT/CHT. So where is the savings?
My feeling is they provide additional power on TO and climb, more reserve..........but..but.but ..... the rear engine oil temp or CHT is going to altimately create the limit.
It is kind of like that little coil that went into the top of the distributor (sold at carnivals).. you should remember eh DON?
Note for the newbies; Don't ever go by the POH or you will "cook" your engines!
Basically you are reducing density altitude... Anyone else want to jump in with a different thought ? <G>
