Unconventional Loop

[TRITIUMNITR0X]

Hey all!

Out of curiosity, I want your opinions about the functionality of the following loop:

Spoiler

 

 

Follow up questions:

1) Comparing it to the usual split loop or single loop, what would the cooling performance difference look like?
2) Would the pumps actually function properly or would one side become unstable?

 

 

As usual, thanks in advance!

You are just going to hurt your flow rate in the loop and will not accomplish anything advantageous for it.

 

Just run a single traditional loop. There is a reason why it is the most popular. It is also the most effective for 99% of scenarios.

True... my current build is exactly that. But for curiosity sake, I'm interested to find out what would be different in the hypothetical loop.

Parallel loops give no performance boost and a large penalty on the loop if one pump were to fail.

 

I would link you the source if i wasnt on mobile but basically this is an age old question about serial vs parallel pump setup. Serial wins in all aspects- performance and redundancy

It could work if the reservoirs are sealed! If the build up pressure in one of the res it can't escape and will equalize "into" the other res.
