For my designs, I've been using the 5x5 fluid/fluid heat exchangers to cool my engines. I like using a setup where the engine itself is fed with fresh water, with said water being sent through one half of the exchanger. The other half of the exchanger, though, is fed by an open loop made by putting ports on the bottom of my ship, and using seawater as the cooling medium on that side of the heat exchanger. I haven't done much testing of that design, but I don't see any kind of potential issues. For land and air based vehicles, I've only made a plane and a train locomotive so far. The train is driven by a large standard engine cooled by a 5x5 electric radiator with the fan signal being on the same control as my engine on signal. Basically, if the engine is on, so is the fan. The plane uses a 3x3 electric radiator with the fan controlled by MrNJersey's modular engine ECU.
I have ran into a bug with the modular engines that no matter what cooling I put on it it will heat up the same, no matter what I try it will keep heating up
@5:47 omg why did I not think of that. I've been combining the A's flows with a T-pipe and the B's flows the same and having them enter/exit in one pipe
7:30, community applaudes less flow as a way to maximize cooling time. If you slow the roll on the pumps, they get more time to chill. 28:00, there is a workshop item copy of the old gear box, if you are looking for one.
What kind of load is on the engines? I seem to have a lot of problems with load. Also was able to cool an aircraft engine at 17 rps loaded at 180 power with just one 3x3 electric rad. I directly connected the rad to the engine and it didn't go above 80c.
@@StormRunnerGaming got ya I was using generators to test mine but couldn't find any changes that made sense. Something is definitely wrong with the fluid right now. I have an engine that is getting fuel pressure but dies after 20 seconds and doesn't come back. So far all I can do is turn off fuel and overheating.
I hooked up with one radiator laying down then I put a t pipe then place a block in the middle of the radiator then put another radiator on top then pipe it to my pumps then to my motor
Hey! Can you make a tutorial on gearboxes like how can I make a good vehicle that accelerates very good, and how to make a strong engine that can climb on almost vertical lifts ? Pls!!
@@StormRunnerGaming currently using throttle levers I've thought It was the cooling until I redesigned. But now I realize I'm having trouble with rps getting to high

only in stormworks do you have to make Cooling systems triple the size of your engine in order to run it for 5 mins before it catches on fire.
TOP 4 best and most compact (relatively) ways to cool your engine:

Very interesting and informative video!
So it seems like the new cooling parts work but they don't work well on modular engines in my experience
No, it will work on normal engine as well as modular engine, but coolant manifolds are not so effective...

Most of the engines do not have any load on them. Only two of them have impellers that them engines are using their own power to run.

This is such good information thank you very much
thankfully he didnt test on actual modular engines. THATS THE WHOLE REASON IM LOOKING FOR COOLING SYSTEMS
Thankyou! LIKED! :)
if you attach a clutch to a number block set as .9 it acts as a shock absorber and protects the new gearboxes.... :)
Is the top 4 radiators on the 8 radiators setup input and output reverse? I kinda want to see if that was the problem for it
I do appreciate the time put in putting all of those set-ups. It's amazing how complex it is to properly cool down the engine.
Nvm i re-check in game its the same
5:40 probably the hot/cold side of the system
I never thought about it that way. Interesting observation.
what if use rps to power the cooling system so i the water is moving at high speed
I think there needs to be an update to this. Some things have been changed with how cooling works since over a year ago.
for a boat i recommend just ocean water with a small or large impeller pump with rps connected to engine "for large modular engine"
Whats about the Heat Sink?
Plz repeat with a small modular engine using the 1x1 parts...
and then again with a medium and then a large....
Hey can you run this test with modular engines
I will try and make a video on it in the future
I hooked up with one radiator laying down then I put a t pipe then place a block in the middle of the radiator then put another radiator on top then pipe it to my pumps then to my motor
my engine is water cooledd and yet its insides melt
yeah, just about any engine needs to run on low rps to not overheat.
Awsome and cool
Thanks!
Hey! Can you make a tutorial on gearboxes like how can I make a good vehicle that accelerates very good, and how to make a strong engine that can climb on almost vertical lifts ? Pls!!
I can't remember what ratios I used, but I usually have a trial and error testing for my vehicles. I may do some sorta tutorial in the future
Alright, i think im gonna use 2 5x5 electric radiators method (20:30)
Didn't see any actual modular engines in this video
Engines heat up much faster when in sealed spaces
Direct cooling use to be viable...
My engine will run for about a min and then seizes
modular engine? The problem usually is the air/fuel ratio in the engine. What are you using to control the air/fuel ratio?
@@StormRunnerGaming currently using throttle levers I've thought It was the cooling until I redesigned. But now I realize I'm having trouble with rps getting to high
the problem is you didn't tested them on modular engines
I was just getting a baseline for the best cooling methods to use on some modular engines.
None of these are modular engines, change title.
But these are not modular engines! Fix the title please.
dislike I thought you were testing these on modular engines ...
you're testing cooling for modular engines on the old small engines... don't ever go into the science field Stormrunner.
I was using the small engine to test out cooling systems. For use on modular engines. I might have edited myself out saying that.
