Hi Marcel
This is an old topic and I have repeated these
words many time:
I have had a Laminova since 2007 and +250 flight
hours and I am completely happy w it.
I am not sure about the type /size I think it is
the middle size (look at an attachment).
If I remember correct, during those days they had
only one size or so.
It works well during all OAT conditions
between -23C ... +32C which I have experienced so
far.
When cold, the oil temp follows the water temp but
a bit below and when hot, it follows the water
temp but a bit over.
Always between the limits.
When very hot, I prefer moderate climbing speed
(around 500 f/min and 100 knots) and equal power
settings to keep temps well below their limits.
During a full power cruise I have never temp
problems at all.
When very cold (= -10C or colder), I tape off let
us say 50% or more about the air-intake to the
water cooler.
Please notice I have also a water thermostat to
reach minimum temps more quick and to keep them
well over the minimums also during long and speedy
(+150 knots) iddle descendings (which I really
love).
Also, I assume when only a water-cooler and no
oil-cooler behind it, it is better for airstreams
also and for water-cooling ability.
I do not know how it works in Classic with two
water radiators? Maybe you try and let us know!
Hope this helps.

oil coolers in a Classic
<mz@cariama.nl>
Reading more about oil cooling I came across a
thread mentioning a Laminova/Mocal oil to water
heat exchanger.
Anyone has one of those installed? If so, would
you please care to share your experiences in
respect to oil and coolant temps at high and low
OAT?
How do I determine which version to use in case I
wish to get rid of the oil-cooler altogether?
