Packard Merlin cooling

[Julian_S]

Just a fairly easy question that I can't seem to find the answer to via Google.

I was looking at a sectioned Packard Merlin a few days ago and was wondering about the cooling system. I could see the coolant pump for the engine coolant system but couldn't work out how the intercooler (which I think is known by many as the aftercooler) coolant got circulated. Does it have it's own separate pump or not?

Cheers Julian.

Yes, the inter-cooler is served with separate pump, tubes and radiator.

Thanks, that's it sorted then.
