heh, well not to sure what to add. One thing that might pose a probelm is the Fluke 52II and 54II only have 2 TC's. The 51 and 53 only have one. The 53 and 54 are data loggers but that won't do any good because you need 3 temp measurments.

I am also thinking you're making it harder than you have to to get the same data. Instead of measuring air temps you can just measure the water inlet and water outlet of the radiator.

Say the water in is 26C and the water out is 25C with a Panalfow 120MM at 5 volts. Then you raise the voltage to 12 and the water in is 25C and water out is 23.5C....

At 7V you get 1C of cooling.
At 12V you get 1.5C of cooling.

If you have a decent flow meter you can add in a GPM to make it a little more usefull.

I can kinda see how that might be usefull or interesting if nothing else.
