Heh, well I hooked up the die sime last night. I thought I could get 36watts but i forgot the heaters i have are 40VDC 150watt and 10.7ohm... With the supply I got it is running 13.8V. So that comes out to about 18watts of heat load.... My dT is like 6C at 1GPM..... So when Radio Shack opens up I am going to buy 2 12V (13.8V)@15a power supplies and hook them up in series to get 24V (well 13.8v x 2 actually...27.6V).

27.6V/10.7ohm = 2.58amp x 27.6V = 71.20watts. Right?
