CIRCULATION FIGURES PHANTOM 11.

CURVE 1. - shews the various errors which are likely to occur if the venturi is incorrectly fitted up.

CURVE 11.- shews that at cold water temperatures we have adequate circulation and that two bottom outlets do make an appreciable difference to the circulation.

For these temperatures we are well above the minimum circulation at which we start to overheat on the road.

CURVE 111 - shews there is little difference between the left-hand and right-hand engine.

CURVE 1V. - shews the calibration of the venturi by actual measurement.

CURVE V. {VIENNA} - illustrates the fall off in delivery water with inlet/temperature rise.

CURVE V1. - shews that at 90°C inlet water temperature we are on the verge of having inadequate circulation.
