Engine cooling using the Kenlowe electric fan, Electric water pump and Exhaust jackets.

Engine cooling products from Holden Vintage & Classic showing the fitting of the Kenlow electric fan.

In this video, we look at many ways to manage the ever-present requirement of engine cooling. We feature three products that will assist in the process of heat management.

In this case, we have the Holden Works Caterham fitted with a 300bhp Rover V8, a real test of heat management – big engines in confined spaces are renowned for overheating.

And it will be HOT this summer in the paddock at Shelsley!

*Please note Kenlow is no longer available, but we have replacement parts for most of their products

KENLOWE
The benefits of installing an electric fan:
-Engine/heater warms up faster
-Only runs when required – maintains an optimum engine temperature for better performance/economy
-Does not take power from the crank – allows free revving
-Does not spray and cause drowned electrics

Classic cars are not designed for modern traffic. Overheating can cause boiling/burst radiator hoses (which can be old and hard to obtain) and engine damage (at the least, inconvenient!).

Replica and Kit often have special cooling needs. Radiators are usually smaller than the engine design, and the radiator is often too far from the engine belt-driven fan.

Notes:
-Kenlowe can be fitted in addition to the existing fan.
-Belt driven fans are slow when most needed.
-Kenlowe is continuously rated – many car electric fans are designed for intermittent use.
-4 x 4 often have belt driven fans – noise/fuel performance

EWP PUMPS
The benefits of installing an Electric Water Pump:
-Replace and outperform belt driven pumps.
-Engine/heater warms up faster.
-Only runs when required – maintains an optimum engine temperature for better performance/economy.
-Does not take power from the crank – allows free revving

Notes:
-Running speed independent of engine speed.
-High water flow
-Can be controlled by engine temperature/need
-Can be set to continue after engine stops to deal with heat build up
-Increase in power and torque, especially at high revs.
-Thermo-Tec Exhaust Wrap (lagging) – Insulation

The benefits of insulating the exhaust/manifold:
-Reduces under bonnet temperatures – allowing the engine intake to -receive a cooler charge
-Retaining heat in the exhaust pipes, velocity stays high which improves the scavenging effect.
-Gives protection from burns.
