Wot's the boxy thing? Come to that... what's the plastic thingy? Boxy thing is a plate heat exchanger, plasticy thing is a Denso circulating pump. Plan is now that I have two heating loops in the cauliflower to dedicate one to the Webasto and one to the engine, HX goes between the two meaning I can use the webasto to pre heat the engine. I'm also going to add a separate control to the webasto circulating pump meaning I can use both loops to heat the water when the engine is running without firing up the Webasto. Our cauliflower is 70l so it would be handy to speed the warm up time as there isn't much surface area of tube in the cauliflower.

I was going to use one of those box thingy things (Been studying Patty's posts ) but after examining SmileyPete's drawings with an intense scrute .... found I didn't have to ..... which saved me lots of wonga Yes, I do like that set up. To be fair, our websato has been having a tantrum of late, I have no idea why but it gets air locks sharing the engine circuit and trips out over temp, Nema has given it a clean bill of health so I thought while I'm buggering about I'd give it its own dedicated system but still wanted to retain the option of preheating the engine.

Motor on blocks of wood, no pictures I'm afraid, cold, tired and an unintended tumble down the engine hole as i was packing up meant I'd had a titsful and wanted to get home for a shower and some grub.
May go down on Sunday and bosh the holes thru and fit the new bolts, we shall see.

Wot's the boxy thing? Come to that... what's the plastic thingy? Looks like a heat exchanger, very much like the one i used when i did a veg oil conversion on the Shoggy. Black thing i would guess a pump ? If i am right i win a.................20 pack of Bow

Being the owner of an air cooled camper with a modified engine, outboard oil cooler and poor heating, I've wondered previously if I could have water-cooled style heating using an exchanger like that to cool the oil.

So if you are after improving cooling (and in particular keeping oil temps down) I'd do the following:- Oil cooler as shown. Possibly an Oil filter sandwich plate if you don't have any external oil lines to tee into. Circulating pump same as the one I got. Header tank for filling and expansion. Radiator and electric fan along with a thermostat controller www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/adjustable-fan-controller-thermostat. Heater blower box, loads available www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/compact-heater-matrix-and-fan-kit. Plumb it all up, set the stat to about 90-95 degrees, Bob's yer uncle, better oil temperature regulation and decent cabin heating to boot

with all these posts of other people's jobs I thought I would put up some shots of the jobs I have been doing over the last few weeks. This was an under used cupboard with only vacuum cleaner kept in it. Now racked out for the most used power tools and small parts etc SAM_0600 by mudlarker2, on Flickr This is the engine room stores (basically a cupboard under the stairs) now sorted out (The only thing not there at the moment is the welder which normally lives on the wall hooks) SAM_0601 by mudlarker2, on Flickr The new (at least new to me) radar and mounting brackets SAM_0594 by mudlarker2, on Flickr The 24V distribution panel swapped round with the new solar controller fitted SAM_0602 by mudlarker2, on Flickr Finally the mounting brackets for the new solar panels first group fixed to roof (rest to follow when there's another dry day) SAM_0598 by mudlarker2, on Flickr

It works very well for keeping the oil at a constant temp about 85degs. I'm thinking I could plumb in the water cooled one in it's place. If I ever bother! Pipe dreams... The downside is that it runs hotter in the summer so the heat would need getting rid of somewhere without having the heater on.
