questions about running pumps in series

raist679 · 07-12-2004, 10:56 PM

I am currently running my system on one swifty MCP600. A friend of mine is scrapping his MCP600 in favor of a new Iwaki pump. I was thinking of possibly plumbing it into my system and running the two in series. It would be tough to find room as I would like to keep the system all internal. The rest of my loop is 1/2" and includes the Danger Den RBX block, Danger Den heatercore with Coolingworks shroud, and a cylinder resevoir. I don't have a flow meter to test my current setup. I was wondering however what benefit I could expect? Thanks for your help.

If you run two pumps in parallel it doubles your flow rate but does nothing for pressure head. Running in series will increase the pumps pressure head. If you setup is very restrictive running in series would be advised.

raist679, I just noticed your sig. Have you overclocked you A64. I would imagine you could get close to 2.5Ghz with that motherboard.
