RE 20 HP CHASSIS - RADIATORS

The comparative cooling surface of the three types under discussion are as follows:-

Matrix. | Present Standard | Thermostat Operated Shutters. W.W. | Thermostat Operated Shutters. (Proposed).
------------------|------------------|------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------
Height. | 19.000 | 19.700 | 19.700
Width. | 21.600 | 20.825 | 21.600
Length of Tube. | 3.950 | 3.500 | 3.750
Comparative | 1620 | 1440 | 1595
Cooling Area | | |
Percentage. | 100 | 89.0 | 98.5

With the thermostat operated shutter type, we have increased capacity in the top tank.
