but volume - no.
Volume would be a "personality spec" as a result of the design.
thicker/less resistance = more volume.
After all - its all gonna heat up in the end (just take longer) to the efficiency of the cooler.
Could almost work against you 'cause if it gets hot it will take longer for the system to cool down - you probably want a low volume quick response (low inertia system).
Yeah, that's what I mean, the thick metal cooler eventually gets hot and seems to be a source of heat rather than a cooler. I've looked into having a radiator shop custom build me a new one to the exact same size. I modded my car quite a bit to get it in there. Quotes where around $600.
