radiators on another.

cordes · February 11, 2017

hello i was thinking would it have any effect if you make a watercoolede system. and go like a fan, 360 rad, fan, then a 240 rad, fan again and last a 120 rad all against each other? so the air flow will go thoug them all at the same point, would it get any cooling effect or will you get higher temps because of all the radiators right on each other? of course it will be a big water cooling setup. or maybe just a 240 and a 120 rads. but could be fun to see if it would do any thing

have anyone tried it or something like that?

Stacking fans does not increase pressure, and stacking rads will just mean the input of the last in the series gets the cumulative heat of the first.

Stacking dont work as intended:

I have a stacked radiator and as long as you add another set of fans it will obviously be better than 1 radiator, more surface area. Make sure the top radiator is the hot one so make it go through the loop first.

and of course it will have a lower air flow then 1 single row.

but would it not just raise the temperature of the loop and not give any big difference in the loop?

The chart above used a 300w heater. The test here used a computer which made the difference.
