Project Ke70

Welding the tube to the plate, that will then bolt to the (disc protector? not sure what its called) but, yeah, hopefully you guys get the idea. :)

nice welds :/

[zeph_KE70]

nice welds :/

 

 

I'm the worlds best welder, i used the worlds best welder aswell. I hate being so good.

[Figjam14]

yeah man, relised hey

[Jono.C]

I can sympathise with a shite welder. Looks like you'd be better off just doing tack after tack. Works best with mine

Here- this will help. He wrote a Masters thesis on brake cooling.

 

http://researchbank.rmit.edu.au/eserv/rmit:6207/Stephens.pdf

Convection to the atmosphere must then be the primary means of heat dissipation from the

brake rotor. Convection is governed by the expression:

 

Q=hAs(Ts-Ta)

 

also know as Newton’s law of cooling.

 

Where:

Q = the rate of heat transfer (Watts),

h = the convection heat transfer coefficient (W/m2 k),

As = the surface area of the rotor (m2), and

Ts and Ta are the surface temperatures of the brake rotor and ambient air temperature respectively.

 

It can be seen from this expression that in order to maximise heat transfer from the rotor (increase Q) and keep the rotor temperature (Ts) to a minimum, the value of heat transfer coefficient (h), or the surface area (As) needs to be increased. As it is required to keep Ts to a minimum, improvements must be made through increasing the heat transfer coefficient (h) and or the surface area (As) of the rotor. The amount by which the surface area can increase is confined by the diameter of the wheel and the requirements of minimising unsprung mass1, so improvements in cooling can best be made through increased values of the heat transfer coefficient, (Limpert 1975).

 

I assume you are going to mount the air intake tube as close to the centre of the backing plate as possible, as you need to get the air right into the middle of the disc so it flows outwards through the vents.

Any ideas on some hose i could use? Ive been looking around, and the 500F proof pipe is like, $189 for 12ft aha.

 

 

[Figjam14]

thats actually pretty cool haha

[zeph_KE70]

thats actually pretty cool haha

 

 

cheers dude :)

[glenpos]

very good, i know what its like with shit welders, mines the same, then i go down and use my mates good on and they look like robot welds... (almost ;)

wouldnt think youd need a high temp pipe don't think it would get that hot tbh, have you had a look at flexi ag pipe form bunnings/irrigation shop?

[B.L.Z.BUB]

If anything you'd probably only need a few hundred mm from the brake then a normal duct. Considering it's transferring cool air to the brakes not sucking hot air.

 

Go to a wrecker and find some radiator hose that fits.

Mean shot

Fresh painted kicks!
