Detecting coolant loss on new heads
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
2 years ago
Forum members,
I am operating a new 912ULS now and I have an operations question: Were in my previous engine I had the old heads and hence measured the CHT temps and detecting a total loss of coolant was straightforward, what would happen now in terms of coolant gage temperature if all coolant is lost in flight? Will it be possible to detect that the heads are overheating if there is no coolant touching the probe?
I would think that since the body of the probe is still threaded to the head, if the tip is not touching coolant the probe will still get hot from heat being conducted through the probe's body. But I wanted to find out if anything is officially written on this.
