If making 450 hp with 1300cc on the long, how many gallons worth of ice is needed.
Worried about going too small.
-
How big is your holding tank? We use around 4 to 5 large bags of ice per run. We hold around 20 gallons of water. :cheers:
-
How big is your holding tank?
I dont really have one yet.....wanting to know how big do I need.
-
I am able to fit a 12 gallon cooler.....
If that wont be enough I will have to go up front.
-
You could use math and figure out just how much you need (boost, comp eff, IC eff, etc), but how about just use as big as you can comfortably swing? Not much cost to going too large.
-
i think you need to stick the tank up front anyhow..... not sure of your weight balance but ya ought to toss as much up front as you can...

-
Up front to compensate for driver weight? Your inter cooler must weigh a good amount as well. I guess it would matter most if you were traction limited, if so put it in the back. :cheers:

I think 12 gal would be plenty, if to big you don't have to fill it but if to small then your hurtin.

This is a good point.
Will see how it will fit tommorow....
-
wow, jonny..........thats plenty..........
ten gallons of ice water is more than enough........
bet ya a 12 pack, that its still nearly ice cold at end
of the run..........

Yea it would depend on the cfm of blower and temp that needs to be cooled in jonny's case the cfm is probably not a lot in the 222 camaro at one time we were cooling 5600 cfm at a temp of 375 degrees
JL222
-
yep...he gave us the cfm via the hp......and efficiency
via particular turbo....and the temp via the boost number....
im only speaking from experience....with that cfm....and
that turbo efficiency....and that boost range...(+/- a couple cfm, a fraction
of a percent eff, and a lb or so boost)............
course that also assumes....x amt heat transfer eff of intercooler.....
Joe :)
-
And you want it to still be ice cold at the end
JL222 :cheers:
-
actually..i want the beer to be ice cold at the end..........
but i dont want the water to be ice cold.....as that
would mean i carried too much........additionally dont
want the air that cool......so warm water and around
60-100 degree air ok.....

I always thought that pulling a beer out of the intercooler after a run would make a great commercial.

I always thought that pulling a beer out of the intercooler after a 300 mph run would make a great commercial.

Fixed it for you! :cheers:

I like the sound of that. :cheers:

Alcohol puts you in the Fuel class... :cheers:
-
Does anybody actually have a real formula for this considering effeciency range of turbos, cfm, etc?

If we run in the fuel class, the beer idea will be in the inter-cooler. :-D That's the only fuel that we will run in the fuel class. :cheers:
