1.2.2 Why two radiators: flexible bellow and high quality mufflers. The Whisper 3,5 engine is cooled by oil. The optimal engine operating temperature is 87° up to 92° Celsius. The radiator cools the temperature of the oil in the engine only 5°...
Why the alternator should be cooled by water: practice an alternator starts getting less efficient above 40° The Whisper 3,5 has an unique engine being cooled by oil Celsius. It is hardly possible to cool down the coolant of instead of water. The oil is used for both cooling and the alternator below 40°...

Figure 11. Low profile radiator assembly on the roof Figure 13.Radiator on rubber mountings ENGINE RADIATOR SYSTEM The oil cooling system of the Whisper 3,5 is ventilated in When bottom mounted the radiator should not be the the engine itself and no expansion tank is applied. To prevent the oil in the radiator - when mounted higher than lowest point of the vehicle to avoid damage.
When having enough space it would be ideal to have the rainwater to enter the system. Special rain radiators vertically mounted on the roof. The expansion caps are available as an option. tank should be above the radiator. November 2006 / WHISPER 3,5 for mobile applications / EN...
