hello and welcome to the JATO forum i think that it wuldnt be so suitable with a vertical shaft,the oil would build up in the lower region of the bearing housing and put a strain on the shaft seals,it should flow easely from top of bearing housing to bottom..i dont think that anyone tested it really....

hello Metiz!
another thing with TOO big oil cooler is that it gets difficult to maintain the oil pressure,it should be enough simply, using a radiator would be qite too much volume of oil to flow AND to maintain the pressure at healthy pressures....no go for a auto trans cooler or hydraulic oil cooler. best regards/stephan

but as for cooling concerned.....first you shouldnt get the oil TOO cold,then the turbine rotor dont turn so freely, a automatic trans cooler OR hydraulic system cooler with a thermostat would be perfect..you should keep the oil at around 80-90 degrees celsius i believe(was that correct John, Anders???)correct me if i'm wrong here.

Great, that's going to save me a bunch of money. Most of these meters are rated for 60 degrees c. Add another 10 for safety margin and you've got 70. it is doable to keep my oil that cold if I use a cooling unit, for example, a bathroom radiator? i dont think that the oil to the manometer will get especially warm since it is standing still against the manometer..BUT if you would have a leak there then it would get qite warm.
