I was looking at the swirl flow turbulator when I got the idea for the copper coil in the tube.

It would create a lot of turbulence and force the water to travel closer to the outer tubing walls at the same time increasing the overall contact with the outer wall to dissipate more heat.

I Think I may go this weekend possibly and pick up a couple of bits of tubing and see what I can mock up.

Who knows. This might be one of the only ways to make the Cascade block I am going to be ordering from Cathar to perform a little better. Or t could just be another stab in the dark.


That is what is so fun about this hobby. You never know until you try it.
