911 Cooling Shrouds - Improving Internal Air Distribution

[eugene]

No i did not. i have considered the pully cover but is quite expensive. i'll fab something from alu sheet metal. Klaus has some really cool things. Like his alu head covers and the central filter system. Clever design. If just money would be no problem.

fan sizes / blades / air flow:

1965-74/75........245 mm / 11 pales.........1.3:1 ratio..1390 liters air/sec
1975/76- 77......245 / 5 pales..................1.8:1 ratio....1265 l/sec
1978-79............226 / 11 pales ...............1.8:1 ratio...1380 l /sec
1980-89............245 mm / 11 blade.........1.67:1 ratio...1500 l/ sec
964...............279mm / 12 pales......... 1.6:1 ratio..1010 l /sec (!)

And the best part:

An original 12-blade 964 fan uses only 8,1 hp at 6100 rpm!!
I say that is WAY less than a type 1 fan at that rpm
