[MBZ] OT - Filterfor coolant?
Does anyone have any ideas on how one might filter coolant on an engine? I admit I have not done any sort of google search etc. I am just putting this out here to see if anyone has encountered such a device or has ideas of how one might create such. The gist of it is that I would like to filter coolant on a boat engine. I have an inboard outboard that has been run for years with lake water pumped through it. - Only fresh water so not an issue of salt water corrosion but never-the-less somewhat rusty looking inside. I would like to install a closed system setup so that the engine uses anti-freeze and is cooled by the fresh water going through the heat exchanger. The folks on the boating forum suggest this is not going to work because the rust particles from the engine will clog up the heat exchanger passages. They say it should only be installed on a new engine. So, my thought is that there must be some fairly simple way to filter the water flowing through so that I can trap and remove the rust particles. There is some space available on a boat so not like trying to fit something under the hood on a car. Ideas?

Re: [MBZ] OT - Filterfor coolant?
You can pick up a stainless filter housing on eBay that takes standard filter cartridges for $100. Don't use plastic. Any filter media will reduce the flow somewhat. Determine the largest particle size you want floating through the system and work back from there to get the flow rate you need.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Filterfor coolant?
Randy, I am only familiar with smaller engines that use heat exchangers in marine applications, but even with them the tubes in the heat exchanger were easily 1/4 of an inch in diameter at least, so I can't imagine there bring enough cruft in the engine to plug them up. As for a coolant filter, I have only seen these on industrial Diesel engines, and they were more of a means to introduce and maintain DCA (decavitation additive) than to actually filter the system, as they were relatively small, the size of a typical spin on oil filter, and had a minimal amount of coolant flow through them. I would think that if your coolant is clean and properly mixed, there would be no issue with converting it to a closed system.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Filterfor coolant?
I would like to think you are correct but I don't want to over heat the engine. I am told that is a no-no with these engines. What I have is an old 165 HP inline 6 cylinder GM engine - 250 cid. Basic GM block used by Mercruiser for a number of years in the 60's and 70's. I bought a heat exchanger that I am told was originally used on that engine on ebay last winter. It had been retrofitted for use on a smaller inboard engine in a sailboat for a number of years. The sailboat underwent a bit of a rebuild and at the end of the day they installed a new engine with its own cooler setup. Before that happened, this heat exchanger was cleaned up and was ready for re-installation. I have not taken it apart but I have photos of the inside of it somewhere, from when it was cleaned out. It does look as though it has reasonably large passages through it. So, the filter idea may only be a temporary thing while I see how much gunk is showing up. I wonder if a screen of some sort might be sufficient just to see what appears at the outset. However, as I said, I don't want to ruin the thing. I am told that if one overheats this engine the head will warp and it will then need extensive work. My whole reason for wanting to do this change to closed cooling is to make a cabin heater more viable. One can run a heater core off of the engine like in a car and I am told it is much more effective with a closed system vs a raw water system. For those spring and fall days, it would be nice to have a heater under the dash that would blow a bit of warmth back at me.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Filterfor coolant?
If your boat has not been in salt water, used regularly, and correctly winterized there will be some sediment in the bottom of the block but not the big flakes you see in a salt water boat. If you are looking at a full FWC kit which also runs the antifreeze through the exhaust manifolds, I would replace the manifolds, remove the core plugs in the block and blast the coolant passages in the block with a pressure washer and not bother with a filter. If doing a half system, just do the core plug thing. Since the antifreeze goes around the outside of the cooling tubes in the heat exchanger there is alot of area to clog and it probably will not create a choke point. Your other option would be to use a sea-strainer (usually found on inboards and jet boats to catch sand or seaweed in a cleanable basket) inline in front of the heat exchanger. dave Wa.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Converting euro 220v appliance to 120v
You could mount a double box in the wall with a box-mount combination circuit breaker/GFCI (if they're still avaialble) in one side and a 220v (right angle) receptacle in the other. If you want to plug in more than two appliances, then mount a triple box in the wall with two receptacles. That should give you protection against fire and shock. Some city, county, state codes may not allow it, however. Gerry If you have an electric stove or oven in the kitchen you have 220V right there, just run another outlet off it That is very much against code, and for a good reason. The circuit breaker is probably 50A. If you developed a short in your weenie little device the circuit (either in your device/cord, or the wiring to your ghetto plug) would probably pull enough juice to start a fire. That's the reason a household circuit is limited to 20A. Any wiring used in such a circuit is stout enough to take 20+A and blow the breaker immediately. With a 50A breaker you risk a lot. If you had fused this tap, with the fuse _inside_ the 50A plug box, or if you used 6ga wire from your range plug to a box with a 20A breaker and your ghetto plug in it, then you'd be OK. The breakers are sized to prevent fires in the wiring and walls, and devices. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com - No virus found in this message.

I was thinking this too, Randy... especially with a D-jet car. Its interesting how a car can run with way too much fuel. Maybe just a stuck cold start valve? Could be lots of other things too...

If the yard is at all cooperative you could pull one off a car and they could cut off the flanges and sell it to you legally for you to extract the precious metals it contains.

[MBZ] Discussed earlier, possibly
AllCell Granted U.S. Patent to Prevent Thermal Runaway Propagation in Li-ion Batteries by Staff Writers Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 11, 2012 AllCell Technologies received a new U.S. patent covering the use of phase change materials (PCM) to prevent thermal runaway propagation in electrochemical devices such as lithium-ion batteries, ultra capacitors, and fuel cells. The new patent is an important extension of AllCell's intellectual property, which already includes U.S. and international patents covering the use of PCM for thermal management of electrochemical devices. Through over a decade of research and development, AllCell has developed a proprietary composite material composed of a conductive matrix impregnated with various PCMs that extends the cycle life of lithium ion cells and can prevent the propagation of thermal runaway, a critical step in improving the safety of lithium-ion batteries. Several recent high-profile incidents involving electric vehicle batteries have highlighted both the importance of battery safety and thermal management as well as the inadequacy of conventional thermal management strategies. Automakers are rapidly realizing that complex liquid cooling systems add significant expense, reduce vehicle range, and are prone to leaks or other malfunctions that can compromise battery safety and performance. Manufacturers of smaller electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, scooters, and mo torcycles similarly struggle to manage the thermal demands of increasingly energy dense batteries with high discharge rates. AllCell's elegant and passive technology requires no power to operate and has no moving parts, paving the way for the industry to improve battery performance while simultaneously reducing battery cost. One of the benefits of passive thermal management is the ability to operate even when the vehicle is turned off. Whether protecting car batteries parked all day in the scorching Phoenix sun or electric bike batteries baking inside a metal case exposed to direct sunlight, AllCell's PCM composite can protect the expensive lithium-ion battery cells from overheating, dramatically extending battery life. According to AllCell CEO Said Al-Hallaj, We are very pleased to announce this enhancement of our IP position during a period of rapid growth for our company. AllCell is excited to contribute to the critical improvements in electric vehicle batteries required to transition from today's limited market of early adopters to products with true mass market appeal. Earlier this year AllCell announced the formation of AllCell Automotive, a joint venture with Townsend Ventures, LLC, created to commercialize PCM technology in automotive applications. The AllCell Automotive team is already working closely with leading automotive OEMs and is developing a new generation of automotive lithium-ion batteries with PCM thermal management technology that will be introduced soon. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
