MOTORHEAD,

Please keep us updated with pics (I haven't seen this install in a CSX/KMP) and results.

BTW, I just installed a 16" Spal pusher directly in front of my H.O. puller, to create a fan/radiator sandwich. Dick Smith had this setup and David Kirkham said it works...and it does. There was some concern online whether this setup would create standing waves but the secret is that the fans have to turn opposite direction, like the dual propellers on that old Russian bomber, the Tupolev Tu-95. I bought an anemometer and measured. I got 23% greater wind speed with the pusher helping the puller. Of course there's another 20 amp draw and you have to set that up accordingly. When I have time I'll do a write up on the project.

Again, please keep us updated.
