Cova...what if one were to throw a couple pelts onto the rad, thus lowering the "relative ambient" of the radiator and increasing the deltaT. You obviously don't want to add heat to the coolant, as the point is to get it out of the coolant. So if you change the "relative ambient temperature, you increase the deltaT, the RAD works more efficiently, and I would think, cool the coolant below ambient since the "relative ambient" would be significantly lower that the "actual ambient".
