Liquid Cooled Cylinders
I've just seen a website that talks about the advantages of adopting liquid cooled cylinder barrels for Lycoming 0-360 and 0-540 engines. Essentially remove the old cylinders and bolt on the new ones, with hoses, radiator etc. They are developing an STC for conversion of certified aircraft.
Their claims; - increased power(12 h on a 0-360) - 15% block fuel burn decrease, 12 gph instead of 16 gph at Takeoff. - Unable to induce detonation at 29 inch MAP@1600 rpm - possible 3000 hr TBO with no other modifications - lower airframe drag. I'm interested an anyones comments, ho true are their claims. Would also be interested in anyones experiance operating and maintaining the Lycoming Voyager liquid cooled engine TSIOL-550.
