Hej
Jeg startede denne nørdede tråd på callook lounge, og derfor er det skrevet på engelsk. Men jeg tænkte, at det også kunne være interessant at vende emnet her:
Everyone with experience with high performance aircooled VW's, have had concerns about high head temperatures - right? And most of us have also had a type 4 head in our hands, and wished the type 1 head had similar large cooling surface. But it doesn't.
Then I started to think about disc brakes, and what is normally done in order to improve cooling. By adding holes in the disc, it is possible to improve heat transfer, if it is done properly. This could in theory be transferred the aircooled cylinder head.
For example:
The cooling rib of the type 1 head is approx 2.5 mm thick. If a 2 mm hole is added in a rib, then you have removed a surface area of pi/4*2^2*2 = 6.3 mm^2, from the sides of the rib. But you have gained a cylindrical suface of pi*2*2.5 = 15.7 mm^2. So in total, you have increased the surface area by 15.7 - 6.3 ^= 9.4 mm^2. Lets say 20 small holes is added per cylinder, and the head has 8 ribs per cylinder, then a total of 1500 mm^2 is gained, or 15 cm^2.
Det eneste respons jeg fik var, at der nok ikke ville være noget at hente, da man samtidig fjernede noget masse fra topstykket?
Men det er ikke den fulde forklaring, som jeg ser det i hvert fald, da massen omkring kammeret forbliver intakt, og at "indløbet" til køleribben også vil være det samme. Massen vil kun have indflydelse på hvor hurtigt temperaturen stiger og falder, når det sker en ændring i den tilførte varme (hvor meget gas man giver).
Så spørgsmålet er er, om man kan øge effektiviteten af køleribben ved denne modifikation, og derved kan få topstykketemperaturen til at at falde ved en given belastning?
