Type 2 Split Screen 1950 - 1967

This was the first VW camper adapted from the VW bus (known as the Samba) - which itself was adapted from the VW panel van. You'll recognise the rounded VW campervan with the sweeping V moulding on the front, the huge VW badge, split windscreen and big round headlights as the classic VW Camper.

Production of the first generation, 'split-screen' Transporters known as the type 2, (the Beetle was type 1), started in Wolfsburg for the 1950 model year with a tiny 1100cc air-cooled engine developing borrowed from the Volkswagen Beetle. By comparison, today's Transporter has a choice of four TDI PD diesel engines from 1.9 litres to 2.5 litres.

Volkswagen imported the first VW Campervan to the UK in 1955 and a year later, transporter production moved to a new factory in Hanover. The campers were fitted out by Westfalia, a coachwork company who worked in partnership with VW for many years. There were a huge number of configurations of the furniture and other companies produced conversions too. The split-screen campers had the same air-cooled engines as the panel vans and the same 6 volt electrics.

Type 2 Bay Window Camper 1967-1980

The taller and larger bay window VW camper had 12 volt electrics, a sliding side door and larger engine. It still had a friendly, rounded shape but with better visibility and more space. Over three million were made during 12 years of production. Westfalia continued to do conversions, and a large number of other companies in the UK such as Devon, Danbury, Canterbury and Dormobile, joined the market too. There are also VW camper vans that have been converted by small companies and DIY conversions. Up top there were a wide range of pop-ups to give more space - ones that go straight up, examples with bellows, side-fixed (they are often Dormobiles) plus the type hinged at the front (wedges) from Devon. Versions of the bay window are still in production in Mexico and were produced in Brazil long after VW had stopped production.

Type 25 VW - the Vanagon 1980-1991

The third generation Transporter was introduced in 1979. The VW t25 was larger again and provides substantial space. It was known as the Vanagon in the USA and is often referred to now as the VW t3. This model is much more angular with a very 1980's shape. In 1982, after 32 years and with production totalling over five million vehicles, the Transporter switched from air-cooled to water-cooled engines - but still rear-mounted.

The Volkswagen T4 1991-2003

The fourth generation Transporter was introduced in 1990 and marked a major change. It was the first to have the engine at the front to leave a completely flat load area. It is a pronounced wedge, but still a relatively sleek shape with a huge amount of space. Autosleeper, Bilbo, Reimo, Danbury and Westfalia all produced camper conversions. The Caravelle is the people carrier and the California is the Westfalia camper. The other conversion companies all have their own names for their range of models.

T5 2004 to present

The current, fifth generation Transporter made its debut in 2003, and in 2007 rock legends, The Who, performed live at an official event to celebrate 60 years of Volkswagen vans which was held in Hanover, Germany. It attracted 71,000 visitors with an amazing selection of over 5,000 Transporter vans and campers. Over the period of sixty years over 10 million transporters have been made. VW campervan conversions have been produced for each transporter model - and by a large number of companies. And then there are the small company and amateur conversions, too. But now you do have a good overview, so should at least ask know what questions to ask, when you're buying, or just admiring a VW Camper.

What are Cooling Towers

What exactly are cooling towers anyway? They are heat rejection devices used to extract waste heat into the air from the cooling of a water stream to a lesser temperature. They are also referred to evaporative heat rejection devices. These devices provide lower water temperatures than an air cooled or heat rejection devices.

Cooling towers are used in air conditioning, electric power generation and in various manufacturing facilities. They can be referred to both open circuit and closed circuit heat rejection equipment.

Small cooling towers are designed to handle only a few gallons of water per minute, which is supplied by small pipes. The large towers cool hundreds of thousands of gallons of water per minute. The pipes supplying the water are up to fifteen feet in diameter. These are found in large power plants.

There are several different types of cooling towers. One such type is the mechanical-draft cooling towers. They rely on power driven fans that draw or force the air through the specific tower.

Another type of cooling tower is the natural draft-cooling tower. It uses buoyancy of exhaust air rising in a chimney to provide the needed draft for cooling. Another type is the fan-assisted natural draft tower uses a mechanical draft to expand the buoyancy.

In the past, cooling towers relied on the prevailing winds to get the air drafts needed for cooling.

Cooling towers can emit a lot of noise. Things that cause the noise include the sound of water falling, the sound of large fans along with motors and drive belts as well.

Many terms are associated with water coolers. We will briefly go over a few of them. Leaching refers a loss of wood preservative chemicals caused by the washing action of flowing water through a wooden cooling tower. A plume is a stream of exhaust leaving the tower.

Blowouts are water droplets that are blown out of the cooling towers with the exhaust air that is blown out.

What is the difference between a water cooled and air cooled ice machine?

I own a restaurant and I need a new ice machine. I have checked online and found both water cooled and air cooled machines. Some manufacturers charge the same price for either option. I am very confused.

Alright let me break it down to you.The one ran with water has a filtration system that runs on water. The air cooled uses air pushed through to cool it. The fan cooled is noisier,obviously. One will cause your water bill to go up and one will cause the electric to go up.That is about it
