Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG21.8.23. OBJECT OF TEST. To avoid loss of water from radiator due to boiling. TESTER. G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} W. Hancock. CONDITIONS. Tests carried out on the dynamometer - conditions maintained constant. Atmospheric temperature kept constant by adjusting door of Test house. Tests were carried out on the road but abandoned. SUMMARY OF TEST. Results of tests did not show that any of the schemes tested were appreciably better than standard. The tall chimney radiator filler gave a slight advantage. Considerable loss occurs due to steam apart from water. Further tests in connection with boiling are now in progress. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
