New build.. Model: ZRK (Zalman Reserator Killer!)

[racinjimy]

It`s originally a vaporiser from a cooling system (the one`s you`ll see at grocery stores -> meat section)

OT: Yes I know, but I`m too lazy to resize and edit all the post`s *sorry THunDA*. It`s not my mainforum anyway. Mostly attending the forum @hw.no anyways

I can't read Norwegian.........................so keep us updated here or the kitten will die

That Condensor will likely give unexpected high temps if used passively. Condensors like that are very thick, and are designed to be used with a high Static Pressure Fan. Passive Radiators usually Maximize their Frontal Surface Area, such as the Innovek's Konvect-O Matic or any Single Row Automobile Radiator

That Condensor will get best performance with a Silent 172mm fan, as that will allow more air to move completly through it, rather than move around its frontal Fins.

As with my Radiator, the pressure drop with large radiators is larger than expected. A single pass dual row heatercore style radiator like my Koyo Racecar rad with 167 Tubes, will have a lower Pressure drop than a Winding Tube Radiator.

Because it is a Winding Tube, every 180 Degree Twist in Copper tubing drastically reduces flow..and a Single 12V DC pump will not be able to yield enough GPM (will be less than sufficient for waterblocks)

A high Head Pressure AC Pump is needed to achieve the minimum flor rate sufficient for your Waterblocks.

I think your wrong at many points and right on one (the pump)

Do rember that the cooler has an extremly large surface area, combine that with the huge tubular area and I have struck gold

The main thing that separates my rad from yours is the large gap between the fins (5-6mm). This makes the rad extremely well suited running passive.. The airflow has minimal resistance when moving trought the wide fins! There is no need for a fan, and when the project is finished and running proof will come (failing is not an option )

Yes I do need a powerful pump, but with pipes @13mm the negative effect of180deg turns is minimized. The pump I`m buying has 0,2bar pressure and I belive that is plenty

But thanx for the feedback anyway!
