Thanks for the reply. I suspect that the intercooler coolant temperature was similar to the main coolant temperature, due to the choice of similar coolants. The ethylene glycol is also justifiable as an antifreeze, however.
I have read that the barrels of the P-47's guns had "thermal sleeves." I am unsure what the function of these sleeves was. There is a forum at www.quarry.nildram.co.uk that has excellent information on automatic guns, including aircraft-mountings.
Hi,
I was reading about the Rolls-Royce Merlin and read that some of the later variants had an intercooler which cooled the fuel-air mixture as it came out from the superchargers and into the intake manifold. I was wondering if anyone knew the temperature of the fuel-air mixture in this...
