AeroVee Turbo Cooling System:
The AeroVee Turbo is unique among aircraft engine turbocharging systems in that a dedicated turbo cooling system is now available, allowing AeroVee Turbo pilots to keep their turbochargers in top condition by actively cooling the turbo when it matters most: after engine shutdown.
The AeroVee Turbo Cooling System weighs less-than 5 lbs. including coolant, and is thermostatically controlled. You can shut the aircraft master switch off and leave the aircraft, and the cooling system will automatically shut-off when temperatures in the turbocharger's bearing block are reduced to specified levels, which typically takes about 20 minutes with under 0.1 volt drop in battery charge.
The system is currently offered as a Bill of Materials so that customers can source at the lowest cost, and vary individual components to best fit their individual installations in a variety of airframe models. Sonex Aircraft sells the custom coolant catch can for the system.
