Glind Shower fitting to 150

[Night Rider Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Night Rider]

I had a glind in a 4.2td patrol.. Which is apparently a coolissh engine compared to the newer motors. The water temp was never really hot unless flow was turned right down.

You may find that there isn't enough flow/ hot enough radiator fluid in the car to get it like a normal shower.

Yes that's my thoughts too. You've given me a idea. If I slow down the shower water passing through the heat exchanger it will have a better chance to get warm. There again I thought the engine ran at something close to 98 degrees. That should be way more than sufficient to create a hot shower. Hmmm.... back to the engine bay for some more testing.

I used a plastic container and recirculated the water till not enough to shower.. Then just ran the pump.
At full flow with the big pump, it won't get hot enough.

Well the shower is now completed. Garage tested and although I can't vary the heat like I could on my old vehicle, the water is warm enough to hopefully keep the complaints to a minimum. Now to road test it. I have mounted the heat exchanger and the pump in the space behind the grill. Hopefully this doesn't block too much air getting to the radiator but I'm confident. Fitted switch and hose connections under the bonnet.

Hey Night Rider have you got any more info or pics for this ? I'm about to transfer my Glind heat exchanger and pump over to my 150.

thanks

Not sure if this is too late for you but I do have some pics of what I did for my setup.

Night Rider ... where are you ?

We mounted the glind heat exchanger just below the heater hoses on the firewall. Same mount for the 120 and 150. Pump is in the corner behind the fuel filter. Run two hoses to the front in the bullbar for water in / out. Adjust the temperature by varying the engine revs. Idle is ok when motor is hot but dependent on the ambient air so a piece of bent weld rod is our idle up. 1200 rpm seems to work well. The 120 and 150 don't have a water control valve so to check what is in and out, run the air fan at full speed and of the two hoses the hotter one in the one to plumb to the exchanger.
Will post some pics later.

Rusty.
