The real hope naturally is for the optimum design of an airtrap.
yours is the best design i have seen yet, if you have the water entering at the top and exiting from the bottom. This makes it much more difficult for a bubble to continue on in the cooling loop than the other designs i see here.

something like Razor6's design will work well, but it is not optimal, as bubbles can be sucked to the side before getting a chance to rise...
In Boli's design, the bubbles owuld have to get sucked down - much more difficult.
