Two BIXs as a sandwich

Nomad2000 · 07-05-2002, 11:41 AM

I have two BIXs and two 120 Papst fans. Can I build a "sandwich" - a pushing fan - a shroud - the first BIX - the second BIX - a shroud - a pulling fan (the BIXs are in parallel)?
Thank everybody.

I don't really think it would be very efficient, I actually think it would perform worse than 1. Airflow would be a problem getting through the 2 rad's, plus, it will decrease flow somewhat.

Also the heat from the first rad would affect the second and not cool it very well.

You're going to get sharply diminished returns that way.

How much you looking to cool?
