Many oil coolers have turbulators similar to the ones D-Tek uses. I am quite surprised that the TC-4 would perform better without the turbulators; it seemed to have a boost relative to other maze-type blocks in Bill's test data.

You're right.
I keep thinking linearly, I figured that the water would only be turning, but since it's turning, it gets thrown around, and creates turbulence.
I can't help to think that this chain of cones might work better. I'll have to figure out a way to test my theory... If everything goes well, I might even create a sweet spot that way!
