Liquid Cooled Air Power
Introduces Cool Jugs^® Liquid Cooled Conversion kit
for O-360 and O-540 series Lycoming aircraft engines
at the AOPA Convention in Long Beach, CA

After over 7 years of research, development and testing in secrecy, Liquid Cooled Air Power will be unveiling their Cool Jugs^® Liquid Cooled conversion kit for O-360 and O-540 series Lycoming engines at the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association convention in Long Beach, CA.

Current General Aviation piston engines are essentially the last of the air-cooled piston engines – virtually all other engines have converted to liquid cooling. The vast majority of motorcycle engines and even die hard air-cooled automotive engine manufacturers like Porsche have gone to liquid cooling in the quest for more power and reliability per cubic inch of displacement. In fact liquid cooled automotive engines have in many instances more than doubled their power output per cubic inch of displacement in the last 7 years. One of the principal reasons such advances have been possible is because the operating temperature of the engine is kept at a stable and efficient level allowing more exotic fuel and engine management systems to be developed.

At Liquid Cooled Air Power we believe that the next step in the technological advancement of General Aviation piston engines is to convert to liquid cooling. For the last 7 years we have been quietly working on a practical liquid cooled piston aircraft engine. We looked at the options available: design and build a new engine from the ground up or leverage already existing technology?
