I dont want to get the horse behind the cart, I firmly believe that the separated IC water circuit is a step in the right direction and a GOOD thing.

The findings that I have been reviewing, indicate that there may be a deficiency in the approach due to low water static pressure. This means you may be able to do more with a little static water pressure. The stock car IC had flow about 1.5 to 2 GPM and the upgrades 30 series pump pushes that up. Better H/E designs ( supercooler) increase the flow a bit more, possibly enough to cause localized boiling or cavitation. We may be able to gain lower water temperature by doing mot so much. +++++++

My hot water studies were run at a static pressure of about 6 PSI- - - ever wonder why?? My water flow meter is a clear plastic tube and without this pressure the flow meter had bubbles. THese were not bubbles of cavitation because it was at the output of the pump, on the high pressure side of the pump. The bubbles were the the gasses in the water that were boiled out in passage thru the IC and pump. These are the gasses that boiling drives out of tap water. These dissolved gasses are significant, its how fish live - breathing the oxygen in the water. If you had fish and boiled the water to kill bacteria, you know that you have to let the water sit before adding it to the fish tank so it can take up oxygen.
