If this is the one from Argonne, I posted it about six months ago. Nobody seemed interested then, yet I belive that if it can be obtained cheaply, it could be very useful.
The main benefit is the enhanced thermal conductivity (up to 40%). This will help reduce the effects of the stationary and slow moving "barrier" at the interface between the copper and the water.
Could some of the experts add their opinion on this possible benefit.
Could slightly reduce the requirement for turbulent flow.
