Hi there
I am looking to build a heat exchanger onto my VP 4,3 to save it from the rough nature of saltwater. The marine exhanger models are mighty expensive, so my dad and i got to thinking why wouldn't you just use a regular stainless plate heat exchanger.
Can anyone tell me why the marine models are so much more expensive, og why a regular exchanger could not be used as long as it cools enough?
On another note, does anybody know exactly how much cooling power an exchanger needs to have for a V6 225 Hp engine.
If a regular plate exchanger ain't good enough, i'll maybe just have to calculate and weld one up from stainless pipes?
