Waterfalling..

Does waterfalling actually help in reducing the temperature of the fluid in your loop?

[Boogerlad]

like bong cooling?

I guess...

oops, logged on with the wrong account :) was my old one, heh.

anyway...

if you did integrate active airflow over the waterfalling would it work?

[zanzabar]

it would only help in an open loop, so for liquid cooling it wont make a difference

[ohms]

ah ok, it was just curiosity more then anything :)

Without evaporation? In a sealed system? Nope. Perhaps it might promote a tiny little bit of conduction, but then again not much of that going to happen in an acrylic res.

I think if you were to feel the res after the loop was under heavy load for a while, it would definitely feel warmer than ambient, so some heat is being radiated. It wouldn't be anything notable, or easily measurable.
