I am working on the water cooling apparatus for a N6CA 1/4 KW 23 cm
amp. In his article, he talks of using a "small transmission oil
cooler" for the heat exchanging function. Does anyone that has done
this before have any more specific descriptions than this; ie, a cooler
from a 19xx Ford whatever or ...... Are there any other sorts of
approaches to this heat exchanging function, even homebrew ones?
K2UYH uses a ring-of-8-3CX100s amp cooled by a large plastic garbage-can
full of water. There is no special cooler. The water starts out at room
temperature, and at the end of a whole moonbounce weekend it's still
cool enough to be usable.
