Ok first off this is not for a computer so i dont really have any tdp to start of with. but if ya are techy enough to help a guy out i would love not to waste money buying to many rads and not even work.

 

what i will be trying to do is cool a liquid down from max around 206f to anywhere below 150f to ambient temp. my normal ambient temp is in the 80s f.

 

would this be even possible with a 360 or even 2x 360 rads with fans?

 

i am sure there are more variables i'm not considering, but i would at least like your thoughts if it is possible and what inline pumps you would suggest or if i need a res. 

 

thank you for your invaluable time.

If you are getting up to 200f, you would be better off using automotive cooling parts. Heater cores,electric water pumps and heater tubing.

More information needed to even have a stab at answering this question.

 

Although in short: A definite maybe

 

For example, a CPU can easily get up to 95-105 degrees celcius if no cooling is provided. This means left to its own devices, a slab of water left on top of this CPU will eventually reach the same temperature (i.e. 95-100 degrees celcius) before eventually boiling. Now, a 360 or 2x360 can easily cool a CPU while maintaining a fluid temperature of 30-50 degrees easily.

 

The question is ill-posed since its not about whether a radiator can bring down water from X degrees to Y degrees, since as long as the Y degrees is above ambient, the answer is always yes. Its more of how much heat is being dumped into the system and whether you have enough airflow and surface area to dissipate it. If more energy is removed by means of airflow on a radiator than is being put into it, then the fluid temperature will go down, if not, it will go up. Simple as that.

If space isn't an issue, you could run a tube through a dorm-room sized freezer, cool the liquid down in there (with several loops through the freezer) and out the other side.

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.
