Hello noble friend stew, is a pleasure to have your post in my topic
But...
you disrespected some points of relevance in the efficiency of radiators.
1: Feeding of the flats tubes, the more homogeneous, better the use of the total area of the core
2: restriction to the flow, even if it reduced my rad to the size of a dteck, your resistance to the flow would be 3x smaller, first due to total area of drainage of the flats, second for the type (format) of flat tubes
3: Correct density of the fins X pressure of air, I tested it varies conbinations of densities leaving from 5 to 15 fins for inch,also varying your thickness, also varying the pressure of the fans in the tests, to arrive to the ideal group, I didn't simply remove a radiator of hot air of car and I placed a fan in him.
4: Behavior of the flow of air inside of the pits, my flow is not to laminate and yes turbulent, causing a more efficient thermal change, that due to having 3 arrays of flat opposed tubes.
To the I thwart of the detk that works with flow to laminate
The several other although I will post later, but those 4 items for the time being are enough
a series of differences that make that contruction type that I developed still exist much more efficient than a dtek, my use of size of the core x transfer of heat is very superior, and much larger than one used in a dtek.
my rad F2 is a king kong, don't have doubts, but he is not only more efficient for having the double of size of a dteck, thing that you will by itself be able to see, when it compares him with the two dteks that you use, logical that for that will have to generate enough heat for the differences to appear, as I did
