Hi #Rotor,
thx for the tips!
I would really like to answer your question, but I can't cos I haven't made the blocks yet. Not sure yet should I go with 3 mm or 4 mm drill bit. I counted the number of holes in a row on some of your's
just to get the idea, but I'm still stuck with 10 mm thick pieces of copper only and don't know if this would be enuff if I go 7 mm deep, leaving 3 mm base. Also, must go and buy a good drill bit, and dremel cutting wheels.
But I do believe that the blocks will have a good amount of flow...
Second 'problem' are the barbs. I cannot just go and buy them (they don't exist in that form here:shrug: ), so must go to the machine shop to make them for me, or just (ugly!!!) solder the 1/2 ID copper pipe on the blocks.

make sure the line between the reservoir, and the radiator can handle the increased flow. That would also be where the flow meter would want to be.

I can make those lines 16 mm ID, but I thought of putting the flow meter as a last component in the whole system, after all the components that would restrict the flow would be the way to go.
Ofcourse, I can always try both, right behind the pumps, and on the end of the loop, just before water entering the reservoir. But I must first make the flow meter first.
Oh, yeah, and I think I'm going with 4 mm bit for start...I'll draw the grid today, if nothing comes in my way...
Btw, I cannot buy goop of any kind here, so I thought to go with liquid metal epoxy in thin layer between the plates. It's solid to the 120 deg. Celsius, and resistive to chemicals we use in wc...
I like to do lots of planning, cos' when I start making things, there'll be still lots of things I didn't thought of comming in a way, and still lots of rearanging for the fan sake...
Thx again!
Cheers
