(mine is allso with 270Volvo Z-drive) on my boat its made from standard steal, and it rusted away after 8jrs..The rest 'you 2' are building the same way, witch I know works perfect..

  • @jacquespoirier9071
    @jacquespoirier9071 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    very well done,
    just one point, the major part of the cooling of the exhaust gases occurs when the engine cooling waters mixes with the exhaust gases.
    In fact, the exhaust gases intantly heats the exiting water up to the boiling point then transforms a part of this water in steam, on a full throttle operation, up to 10% of the exiting water can be transformed in steam,
    A good indication of lack of cooling water is a heavy production of steam at the exhaust.

  • @CraigOverend
    @CraigOverend 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Exhaust looks good. If you haven't already I'd consider adding additional support, other than Simone, from the manifold to the engine block. Hanging that much weight when it's filled with water and when the elbow and exhaust are attached may make the manifold fatigue at the welds from vibration, crack then crevice corrode.

    I know it’s a bit late now, but would it not have been a good idea to have the cooling water enter and exit from opposite ends, and not having the exit being with a couple of inches of the entry, I’m sure your going to have stagnant water flow at the far end from the water ports ~

  • @paulbriggs3072
    @paulbriggs3072 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    First time I ever saw a manifold welded up, and the anode is sheer genius, I never saw that before. What's needed for a closed cooling system engine and manifold, but raw seawater cooled riser (which many boats need but not yours) is an anode inserted into the riser water somehow.

  • @RyanAbrey
    @RyanAbrey 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    If the inlet and outlet is on the same side, whats stopping recirculation and water not reaching the last exhaust? Also just check i think that sink anode needs electrical continuity with the stainless steel its protecting. We always Chuck a strap between the anode and structural steel in seawater. Looking good though. Keen to hear her purrrrrr.

    • @livingwiththemaias
      @livingwiththemaias  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks , the inlet is on the bottom side of the exhaust and the outlet is on the top opposite side of the exhaust (heat rising ) the flow rate 20L/min will force the water to the end and as there is a slight back pressure due to the inlet being force fed and a same diameter outlet compared to intel . Having the exhaust in the middle of the housing acting as a barrier promoting the circulating motion of the water along the length of the exhaust. Yes as the whole engine is grounded the anode is also grounded and as the zinc has the highest potential this would be the more attractive alloy .😉💪

      I agree, it's not going to be very efficient, you should use the lower for you intake and weld another one on the top of the box close to the exhaust elbow. That way you force the water thru the whole area and you end up having a shorter hose connecting it to outflow on the elbow. Just my 2cents

    Hi Guys, do you have this all modeled up in Solidworks?
    If so, I would have someone run some CFD flow studies for the water flow through the unit and then run some thermal studies on your design to find any potential thermal caused stress points that would lead to early failure of the unit to head off problems down the road.
    My first impression is the water flow (circulation) without a baffle or an internal pipe to force the water to circulate from one end to the other may be a problem, remember water will always take the path of least resistance. So I would to make sure that there is no short circuiting between the 2 water ports.
    Can that oil filter assembly be relocated with the filter hanging down to reduce the changing mess?

    Without baffles the water circulate from inlet right to outlet, cooling only #1 port and maybe #2 a bit. #4 may actually develop steam forcing water out of the jacket. Unless a diesel's exhaust is much cooler than gas anyway.

    • @livingwiththemaias

      Water flows to the part of least resistance but if the system is force fed it has to follow the path by which it is being forced there after it will follow the path of least resistance due to the injection point and exit point the water will flow in a swirling motion within the exhaust baffle.

    @brandonalvis5027 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Interesting this is the first time I have heard any one doing this. I find it interesting but wonder if you are aware of reversion that cooling the exhaust gasses down makes it more dense and heavy causing the gas to return back into the combustion chamber when you are only working with 23% of your volume is oxygen it usually causes an engine to run rich on a stock tune. Due to some of the inert exhaust gasses going back into the engine. The exhaust works well when its hot and the exhaust gasses are less dense creating a vacuum or very low pressure in the exhaust.

  • @yanglili169
    @yanglili169 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The anode should not be electrically isolated. That defeats the purpose of the anode. You may want to fresh water cool the exhaust manifold. This is the most common way for Diesel engines. You of course need a larger heat exchanger since there more heat load. Item 142390745192 on Ebay.

    WRT your water cooled manifold, with both water inlet and outlet at the same end, is there not the possibility of the water flow short circuiting at that end of the manifold, leaving heat build up in the (relatively stagnant) water at the end away from the inlet & outlet? There was mention of some baffling, but I couldn't see any. It is a really well made piece though!

    Why do you feel you do not need an anti-siphon valve? I do not see that having your water cooled exhaust then water going into the exhaust line is any different than the water cooled exhaust on my yanmar marine engine that has a anti-siphon valve.

    Better and *safer* for the engine,to use the original exh manif; make,or have it made,a good insulating bkanket and a shield plate; sometimes i only use hi temp wraping tape,but FIRST i do a few heavy coats of hi temp paint underneath,because when salt water lands on that hi temp tape,the cast iron manif starts to rust,if not painted under the tape; even like that,if it gets wet, tape removal to inspect is needed once a year;
    the boxed -in exh manif you made WILL fail,and water WILL go thru the exh valve that is open and ruin the engine, it's a matter of time; much much better if it has antifreeze inside,but for that you need a bigger intercooler,obviously.
    edit...Omg...and you still have 4 pieces glowing red hot in there, those 2 inch long exh pipes; insulate those,now; if that is not a turbo,they will not get red hot,but they must be protected. like i said,what a COSTLY waste of time,i think,with that manif.
    Great video thanks for posting.

    There's design flaw - water will flow shortest path possible meaning exaust closest to the water outlet will be cooled right and furthest will be much hotter. To avoid that you should put separate tube inside exchanger going all the way to the other side or to make water intake and outlet at opposite side of exchanger. The way you did it significatly decrease efficiency - probably to 25% of what should be, or less...not good at all.

    If that is all mild steel it will have a short life. Heat and salt water cause steel to corrode quickly. Stainless of aluminum would have been better.

    You still have a hot spot on the cylinder head where the header goes .Poor design

      Delrin doesnt throw chips like some metals do, it's just a pain as the strings of swarf wrap around everything.

    Don’t. Just don’t do that.
    Did they calculate anything such as exhausting pressure? What about the cooling temperature?
    It’s just good looking garbage.

      Obviously we checked the back preasure and the thermal conversion. Im an Engineer not a finger painter hahha
