Hello everyone, I am wondering if remote mount transmission oil coolers actually work well when mounted in an area where it would receive little or no airflow other than what the fan provides. I'm fundamentally not too impressed with the idea of using electricity running an extra fan constantly to draw air through a cooler even when the vehicle is in motion. In my opinion, a well designed system should only rely on the fan for cooling at low speeds and ram air would be sufficient to cool it at freeway speeds without the help of the fan, so from an efficiency perspective it doesn't seem too impressive. Also, a the little electric fan just isn't going to move nearly as much air through the cooler as ram air would driving down the highway. In some applications like mine it seems like the best option though since there is no room to mount it anywhere other than in front of the condenser.
Does anyone have experience with remote mount transmission oil coolers? Thanks in advance!
