Hi All,
I have a question...
My 2 cylinder Kubota generator project is almost complete.
I am now working on the cooling system.
My preference is to use a 30 plate heat exchanger that I have kicking around and run a loop from the engine to the plate-exchanger and back.
Then connect whatever I want to the other side of the exchanger to cool the engine water ( Fan/Radiator, floor loop, wall radiator, etc..)
Is it best to have an open (to atmosphere) system on the engine loop? or is it ok to run a closed sealed loop on the engine side?
I prefer to have it sealed so that I don't need a reservoir/buffer tank, and I assume some type of expansion tank would be required like those used in hydronic heating systems.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions on this ?
The engine has it's own water pump and thermostat just like a car engine.
