Where does coolant go from a header tank?

Where does coolant go from a header tank?

From the header tank, the coolant flows directly to the engine cooling system section of the radiator, then to the pump for another circuit of the system. A concentrated, high-velocity flow of air through the radiator dissipates heat from the coolant as it flows through the radiator tubes.

Where is the header tank located on a Mustang?

The P-51 Mustang header tank (P/N – 106-46002), is fitted immediately behind the propeller spinner and is connected to each cylinder head coolant outlet and arranged around the reduction gear housing.

What can header tank heat exchangers be used for?

These header tank heat exchangers can be used for marine engines as well as for various land based duties such as engine testing and development work, generator sets, fire pumps and combined heat and power systems. They incorporate a quiet zone header tank with a special deaeration feature and a pressurised filler cap.

How big is the header tank on a P-51?

P-51 ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM. To understand the header tank one must consider it in context to the P-51 engine cooling system. This 16.5 gallon system is unconventional in the respect that it operates at pressures of up to 50 pounds per square inch.

Where is the coolant tank in a radiator?

The radiator overflow vent hose is then routed to the overflow tank and inserted into it. You will still need to keep an eye on the coolant level in the radiator and keep it topped up to ½” to 1” below the bottom of the filler neck. How to install an expansion tank

Where is the expansion tank on a radiator?

How to install an expansion tank The expansion tank is installed exactly as the overflow tank is, but should be located about the level of the radiator header tank. The radiator pressure cap is replaced with a blanking cap and the expansion tank should have the proper pressure cap for your system used on it.

What was the radiator tank made out of?

Most early vertical-flow radiators were made of an upper “header” tank soldered to a brass header plate holding the radiator core tubes in place. The lower plate and outlet tank was of similar construction.

What are vertical flow radiators made out of?

Most early vertical-flow radiators were made of an upper “header” tank soldered to a brass header plate holding the radiator core tubes in place. The lower plate and outlet tank was of similar construction. Unfortunately, vertical-flow brass radiators were heavy, expensive and environmentally challenging due to the liberal use of lead-based solder.
