Re: [Chrysler300] Short lesson in thermodam

[Bill Huff <czbill@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, does that mean that a 160 degree thermostat opens SMALLER or is 
open for LESS time than a 190 degree thermostat?

Following the slower is cooler logic, the slower the air moved 
through the radiator, the more cooling would happen.  That is 
demonstrably not true in everyday city driving.

Over the years I have had brand new (from the parts store) water 
pumps that didn't work properly.  I put it down to improper 
clearances between the impeller and the housing or even improper 
impeller.  The next pump always worked well.

Not trying to start a flame war here, but IMHO the slower is better 
is an old mechanic's tale.  The only time I can think of that faster 
would be worse is if some area was left in an eddy that never moved 
in the current to transfer heat.

Thas' my story and I'm stikin' to it.
