If you are at the drags and need to cool down between rounds, run your electric water pump and fan along with a portable squirrel cage fan to bring down the temperature. | If you are at the drags and need to cool down between rounds, run your electric water pump and fan along with a portable squirrel cage fan to bring down the temperature. | ||
| − | == | + | ==Water pumps: electric vs. mechanical== |
| − | + | Electric water pumps are constant flow pumps that push X amount of gals of water per minute, no matter what the rpm of the engine is. Mechanical water pumps are variable speed pumps which have decreased flow at idle and increased flow at higher speeds WITH LIMITATIONS. The limitations are that water will slip and cause air cavitation. Mechanical pumps will only operate while the engine is running, but with electric pumps, operation is user selectable. | |
