Looking for someone that wishes to get into a discussion about thermodynamics as applied to our beloved intercoolers. Please look at the water circuit in the photo below for reference to see that the factory intended the water take three circuits within the I/C. It is a counter flow design and is intended to extract the heat from the air in a series fashion.

Premise: Would you gain cooling ( now that we have super coolers and bigger pumps 0) with a single pass of cool water from right to left, rather than three smaller passes???

I am believing that the greater flow of water ( and greatly lower restriction - three parallel circuits as compared to three series circuits - a 9 to 1 lower friction path) would insure a greater delta T from the water to the air circuit.

Currently the cold water goes across the outlet of the I/C; then warmer it goes across the middle of the I/C; and then ,,,,and then it is hotter going across the inlet to the I/C where the air is also the hottest.

Iam wagering that the cold flow of water across the three circuits in PARALLEL would achieve greater heat rejection.

Please remember that the original factory H/E was terribly small, out of the fans air stream and restrictive.

WHAT SAY YOU< Over. Woody
