Hi!: does it make sense, in order of solving the rear Rotor being hotter than the front one, entering the cooling liquid through the rear side of engine, or, in the case of a charge cooled Rotor, entering the oil/ fuel/ air mix through the rear plate, (as in KM-914, opposite to KC-27), incoming mix being cooler and cooling the rear side first?

   The system that concentrates urine in the kidneys, the so called counter current osmotic multiplier, acts this way; also, as hot blood flow to legs encounters the cold blood coming up, descending blood is cooled, while blood going back to heart is warmed, thus minimizing the heat losses in feet. (Does this men roof radiant heating systems are better than floor heating? Anybody testing?)

   Thanks, regards, + Salut

If you put the cool water in the rear housing you are just reversing the flow and the front rotor will run warmer. I would be inclined to put water in the center housing around the common exhaust ports (RX8) and take the warm out the top of the center housing above the central intake ports.

On the new (16X) engine the cool water would go in again by the exhaust and out by the intake. This would tend to balance the temperatures. With using the center housing for entry and exit points both rotors cooled equally.

Re: radiant heat. Warm air rises so the ceiling tends to be warmer. Houses with furnaces tend to have a temperature differential from floor to ceiling. With hydronic floor heat the temperature remains more constant from floor to ceiling providing more comfort.
