Yes. And another thread shown overall pressure has no influence on cooling abilities.

Bingo that's the formula i've been using... (not telling this time, or ppl would accuse me of posting lots of math garbage)

We were *also* counting water expansion. If we say the air is heating as well (to keep it simple, let it raise 5°C) i'm not sure it will change anything... Maybe 2 fly farts ?

Air has nothing to do there... Restrictions, pump-induced pressure, etc. come from the flow of water.
Besides a large air volume trapped in the circuit (for ex. in a big res) would not compress more (less volumetric change due to water but more due to heat - i.e. nothing).
Again the thread was about captive air creating pressure - and i hope we shown one hadnt to worry about that.
Pump induced pressure and restriction induced local pressure are what one needs to worry about (along with water weight itself), they're far greater.
