Notwithstanding, data for the 120QP appears to suggest that the calculated ~5watt{~lpmxPa/6) of Frictional Heat(discussed here) at ~3.3gpm(12.5 lpm) may adequately explain the down-turn of the curves at low fannage.

Hi Les
"C", per your preference, is the difference between the coolant inlet temp and the avg fan inlet air temp from 2 sensors 180° apart located in the center of the fan blade area 1/4" from the grille (all tested with grills in place)

to me the downturn at low fannage suggests something completely different, I don't believe the tube velocity is sufficient for appreciable heating
