mike4444244 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Hi I assume power steering cooling coils (cheaply available on eBay) will be rated high enough pressure to cope with OBA around 120psi max? Thought it would make it easy to mount in front of rad and cool the air before the check valve/manifold Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 They're normally on the return I think, so wouldn't really see any pressure, maybe 5psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I'm wondering about using an oil cooler. They seem to be rated up to 10 Bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4444244 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 hmm I have a couple of spare oil coolers knocking about but seems a potentially expensive way to test it! Ta Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4444244 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 a quick look on the mocal site says they are rated to 10 bar and tested to 11.5 bar I will connect it up to my compressor this weekend and check it from a safe distance!

Blanco Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 BTW, much safer to test with water if you can .... much less dramatic in the event something fails! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I wonder what pressure an aircon condensor/rad can cope with? Might be an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I would guess it would be higher than you would need, given that air con compressors are capable of exceeding the pressure that most air tools and diff locks require Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_pending Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I wonder what pressure an aircon condensor/rad can cope with? Might be an option? On a very hot day a typical A/C system can hit 20-25 bar, 10-15 bar is normal in our climate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
