I have an Aero Classics 7 row oil cooler I will use to cool the oil in my Lycoming O-360 engine. I'm curious what airflow volume is needed to pass though it to cool the oil properly. A fan could substitute for a typical oil cooler installation, but I wonder how big it would need to be.
To know the CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) demand would be handy, but I think the answer needs to be a Mass Airflow value like Pounds/minute.
Also, do we know the temperature change that takes place as hot oil passes through it or the volume that a Lycoming will pump through the engines oil system?
