Davo,
Wow! It matched the record of 50.7 C (123.3 F) in Onslow today. CAT operating in the open pit Ausse mines get even hotter radiation and conduction heat loads.
Testing AC in Death Valley, CA at 120 F and pulling a trailer up Baker Grade is our ultimate AC & engine cooling design validation ...
