I know this had been tried 7+ years ago, I was wondering if since then has anyone done a watercooled conversion and not put the radiator in the front trunk?

Trane has been using this for decades, highly highly efficient with heat transfer but I worry about the pressure drop.

Interesting stuff.... http://www.achrnews.com/articles/90183-the...eat-coil-debate Seems like this might be a thermal issue that a professional HVAC designer should be involved in! |
