I see how I said it wrong, Let me try again, the Heat exchanger wattage transfer will not diminish..... because a larger amount of heated fluid is entering the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger can only transfer so many watts of energy while it is sitting in an ambient room with no air flow. More coolant equates to more heated or excited molecules entering the heat exchanger. The Heat exchanger is transferring the same amount of energy as it did before but the added energy from the added fluid raises the over all temps. We see a rise in over all temps. But saying the radiator is not cooling is wrong thinking....it is doing the same job it did before we raised the bar by increasing the amount of fluid. Again, we are dealing with Temperature "Delta's" or temperature "differences". We can change the Temperature delta by adding air flow over the fins, once we do this the heated fluid is exposed to cooler temps at the heat exchanger thereby removing more energy or watts from the coolant. Temperature delta is what it is all about. |
