[SEL] Thermo-syphon Question

[R & M Ingold]

As long as the top pipe is below the water,and there is a difference in 
height of inlets and outlets, it will work ok.

Subject: [SEL] Thermo-syphon Question


I am working on getting a coolant tank built for my 5 HP Stover and I will 
be using one of the early Stover Cast Iron Stands: See the picture below:

By using this stand my tank will be up higher than it normally would be if 
it was mounted at the same level as the engine. My question is how high can 
you reasonably expect the thermo-syphon effect to push the water up to the 
top of the tank? I need to know this so I can properly locate my inlet 
fitting for the intake of water at the top.

Thanks,

Paul
