It doesn't follow that, just because a radiator is correctly designed, you will need a larger or a noisier pump. Your comments would be valid for excessive flow rates but that is another subject. Yes, indeed, the temperature of the surface of the Reserator will rise until the heat convected from it ...

The power figures used in the Thermal Calculator are all based on the manufacturer's data. And as Devonavar rightly says, no system is ever stressed to the full so the load figures will never be reached in practice. This is why the centre reading, Typical (typisch) is used for design purposes. So, A...

You are completely missing the point here. The Innovatek Thermal calculator is designed to give figures for the specific components that the user selects and wants to watercool. This result is then used primarily to spec a radiator. A Power calculator would cover the total energy requirements of the...

Can someone explain to me the fascination of the Reserator as a water cooling system. IMV, it is seriously flawed as an engineering design. A RESERvoir is a body of water in a tank. A radiATOR is a device for rejecting heat. (Wrongly named - it is actually a convector.) Put the two together and you ...

Thank you teknerd and sendorm. This is a THERMAL calculator, not a power calculator. The figures used in the calculation are derived from manufacturer's data and will probably never be reached in practice. The best figure, therefore, to take is the middle, Typical wattage. It allows a user to fit a ...

The only coolant additive that Eheim will accept for warranty purposes is innovaProtect. See it here, http://www.pc-water-cooling.com/en-us/dept_10.html Automotive anti freeze products are totally unsuitable as they are designed to run above 100C. Water cooling systems operate around 40C - the ideal...
