Neil (Giving Rusty something else to think
about)
Thanks, that's just
what I need :-)
Actually, I'm not
committed to series or parallel at the moment, so I'll be interested to
hear any comments about the benefits of parallel cores. I'm sure
parallel "can" be better, if the water behaves, but if it doesn't, you probably
lose all the extra cooling margin. I suspect that it can be better
than your figures indicated. With less restriction, there will be a
greater flow rate. Also, efficiency is improved in parallel, because
the hottest water contacts a larger area of radiator.
Series is
certainly easier, and cheaper if you're using AN
hoses.
Cheers,
Rusty (probably
series)
