Hmmm. I dunno, Rusty. My intuition (which may or may
not be useful) is that you'd be better designing for normal operation in the
event of a pump failure.
I understand what you're
saying. I keep floundering back and forth between the two methods.
Realistically, I don't expect to have a pump failure, which makes me reluctant
to use the second EWP as a pure standby if I can find some operational
benefit to using it routinely.
Of course, the disadvantage, is that if they're plumbed
together and you get a leak, you'll loose all you're coolant. I guess it
depends on how "operational" you'd be on one core and one pump.
Unfortunately, if I get
a leak anywhere, I'll loose all the coolant, even if only one pump is
running. If I get lucky, and the leak is in the circuit that's not
running, it would probably buy me some time, but I'm sure not counting
on that as an advantage.
