[QUOTE="nikhsub1, post: 1349130, member: 22952"] Your source is wrong too. Thermostats aside, higher flow rates (all else being equal) will ALWAYS cool better than lower flow rates. Thinking the water “needs to spend more time in the radiator” is flat out wrong. I’ve studied and have been testing fluid thermal dynamics for over 20 years. Most people have this notion that water needs to spend more time in a radiator, ie going ‘slow’. Think about this - if that were the case, the other water is spending more time getting hot at the heat source. No thermostat is bad as you stated but not for the reasons stated. You do need it to close or be closed until proper temps are reached, the rest is hogwash. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro [/QUOTE]
