Yup, I work on air cooled lister diesels, the engine's shrouded so air forced over it still has little extra cooling effect! So what's your point? You don't even know what a rad muff is for, so how do you presume to argue with several knowledgeable people with a lot of experience in the trade, the finer points of cooling systems? Here's one for you, a skin tank cooling system, immersed in water at 30 degrees, and one sat in water at -10! Which one cools the engine more? Neither! The stat regulates it at whatever it's set to open at! Oops you don't know what a skin tank is! Put it this way the cooling effect of water is far greater than that of air yet it still runs at stat temp, how strange? And for air cooling I think you need to go and figure out your surface area Maths from school to calculate the area required to dissipate that much heat then figure how many fins you need to stick on your engine to make it air cooled.
Do you want to tell us about carb icing and the latent heat of evaporation too? That's when the carb freezes, whilst bolted to a hot engine at 95 ish degrees, whilst going down the motorway, which is controlled and regulated as discussed by the stat! So how can this happen? The engines still at 95 degrees and my carbs got ice cubes in it? Hmmm. I suspect all the other guys on here know, but you'll tell us it's BS and either impossible or due to magic cos deep down you don't really know what you're talking about.
I'm off to fix a twin pump river water cooling system on a boat now, it sucks river water in to cool it! But it got a stat which....................you guessed it. Regulates the temp and stops the really cold river water over cooling it
Stop being so pedantic. You're wrong. Accept it. And admit you can't win.
I suspect you'll be on google again, to put some other oddball point forward that you don't understand, all because of a knackered French van!!!!! WHY?
