Wow Brian,

Well, now I know why you picked that rad. When you showed one of those on the thread about single pass rads being better I wondered what your set up was going to look like.

And it looks really strong. With two rads of that size you can hook up what ever blocks & TEC's you want.

What pump will you use to dive dual rads with 3-5 blocks?

Edit:
My mistake, it was Nitrix that posted one that looked much like yours on that thread.

Gmat,

I have a 2-342, about the same size as one of Brian's but with inlet/outlets at diagonal corners of the full faced side. How much do you think the differant locations of the inlet/outlet will help full flow? At least I think that is what you were getting at when suggesting dual inlets and single outlet.

And would not the pump choice used in Brian's set up have a effect on the flow in the tubes? A example being a 1046 being a low flow/pressure pump would this make it easy for the majority of the water to use only 3-5 tubes? Would a higher pressure pump (MD-15 or even up to 30Z?) tend to minimize the problem by driving the water to flow through all tubes to find a overall balance of pressure? I know it would still happen to a degree, but would not higher pressure reduce it (%) as velocity increased in the tubing? And how large a pump would be needed for such a large rad area combined with 3-5 blocks?

U-Hual for lans????

And why do I feel this growing temptation to hack saw a tank on a single pass rad????
