Re: automatic horn: TR4 (score: 1): Author: Dave1massey@cs.com; Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2005 08:28:24 EDT; If the horn is beeping with the bush removed then I would look for a short between the wheel and the slipring.

124. Re: thermostats (score: 1): Author: Dave1massey@cs.com; Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2005 10:39:37 EDT; Huh? Pardon me but the job of the radiator is to remove heat. Since this is an inline process the performance of a radiator is measured in BTU/Hour (or Kilocalories per hour). A BTU is the amount of; /html/triumphs/2005-10/msg00662.html (9,314 bytes)

Re: TR3 bypass & the 2nd law of thermodynamics (score: 1): Author: Dave1massey@cs.com; Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2005 10:49:57 EDT; In a nutshell, it is not the aim of the bypass to improve overall head cooling. The aim is to keep coolant circulating even with the thermostat closed to prevent hotspots and, thus, head cracking. Th; /html/triumphs/2005-10/msg00663.html (7,595 bytes)
126. Re: 1960 TR3 thermostat (score: 1): Author: Dave1massey@cs.com; Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2005 11:08:03 EDT; Why would the thermostat have a problem with 10 PSI if the 10 PSI is applied to both sides of the thermostat? I suspect that the change was more coincidential with the pressure change. Using a more s; /html/triumphs/2005-10/msg00664.html (8,558 bytes)

Re: thermostats (score: 1): Author: Dave1massey@cs.com; Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 13:24:55 EDT; So when you said the amount of flow through the radiator has no effect on the amount of heat disipated what you really meant was a small decrease in flow has a trivial effect on the amount of heat di; /html/triumphs/2005-10/msg00700.html (9,108 bytes)

131. Re: thermostats (score: 1): Author: Dave1massey@cs.com; Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 13:46:56 EDT; I think you are confusing heat quality and heat quantity. Moving the water through the radiator more slowly will result in a higher temperature change in the water passing through but since there is; /html/triumphs/2005-10/msg00703.html (9,007 bytes)

After looking in the TR3 manual I now understand how this type of thermostat works. Makes a lot of sense until you realize that the cooling system pressure is not consistent.
