I was looking at those too. I need a heat exchanger for a GTD-350 to reject about 6kW, should be ideal by the look of it.

The only thing that stopped me was it isn't obvious how to get the second fluid passing though it. The two pipe entries on the top just feed the exchange loops? Is there any indication how you're supposed to get the second fluid flowing round it? It doesn't look like it seals anywhere on the body.

Edit: Or is it Air-Oil rather than Fuel-Oil?

Hi Jon,
What i plan to do is have the hole unit place inside a fuel tank with the two ports extending out the side of the tank. I don't think it is a air-oil cooler, my GTP-70 has a air oil-cooler and the exchange loops are arranged so air can flow beteen them. I'll know more about them when they arrive. You may need a heat exchanger like this one i got for my bike project, keep looking on ebay you will find something that you can use.

Cheers,
Mark..
