[QUOTE="2000gt4.6, post: 14581785, member: 123767"] This is a common heat exchanger myth. The only way you can flow "too fast" thru any sort of exchanger is by flowing so much you cause cavitation in the system, creating air bubbles and vacuum cavities which do not transfer heat correctly. Ideally the temps coming out of the exchangers closed loop side should be very close (10 or so degrees) to the input side. If you slow the coolant thru the system, you will see output temps rise, which means that some of the metal the air is coming into contact with is hotter than it should be, which results in higher air temps. This is a pet peeve of mine, as I have had to fight this myth several times at different jobs through out my career. You'd be surprised how many people think a cold input/hot output on the loop side is a good thing (because the fluid is "absorbing" the heat). It isn't. [/QUOTE]
