Repost.
The idea is interesting, but BillA would shoot it down, the same way he did when I suggested the same thing. (that valve might as well be connected to the rad inlet directly).
The problem is that you don't get full use of all the components: if you open up that valve to match the restriction of the rad, you just split the flow through the rad in half. The performance will match accordingly.
Also, if you plan to run that Caravel fan at 10V, what kind of air flow rate are you expecting? Do you have a performance curve for that fan?
I'm going to bug you a little bit more today... what's your expected heatload, in Watts?
