Right, but as Bill pointed out, the user data would need to account for the pressure drop (air), otherwise it's useless.

I don't know about ya'll, but I am very concerned with the water side restriction, and it is on top of my list, as a selection factor.

Otherwise, the size will be dictated by what I can fit, which in my case is 6 by 8. I'm also opting for a 2.5" thick heatercore, for maximum surface area, because although I plan to use a blower, I know that most of the performance will depend on the airflow, not the water flow (rate or turbulence), and a simple axial fan is not likely to have the necessary pressure.

That's my logic.

Now if I can get an idea of how I can expect this setup to perform, great! Maybe it'll tell me that a specific axial fan would cut it, or maybe it'll tell me that I ought to consider a bigger blower.:shrug:
