When I look back on my testing with aluminum radiators, most of them have
round tubes.
Aerodynamic of a round tube is not good compared with a flat tube like most
of the copper radiators has.
So there is a balance....bad flow through a radiator with big coolant volume
in round tubes or less coolant in a copper core with very good heat
transfer. I think both will work.
Maybe a big aluminum radiator is a way to go.

Betreff: Re: [Fot] aluminum radiators again
On the www.wizardcooling.com under the FAQ section is an explanation as to
why aluminum radiators cool better than copper ones. Granted, these people
sell aluminum radiators, but the answer seems to make some sense. FWIW.
