Message	tition (efficiency under normal operating conditions)? My question is what are the pros/cons to this setup? I think that while the coolant has to go through twice as much distance, it is only being exposed to the same surface volume in the end. I know it would take longer to go through the radiator, and theoretically that would mean it is cooled more, but at the same time the (hot) coolant has more time to transfer its heat to radiator and what should be cool outgoing coolant (I would think that after a while of everyday driving, or at idle, the radiator would be hotter than if it were straight across). What effect does the restriction of the radiator have on the outgoing temp. of coolant. Also, if it were beneficial to have the coolant stay in the radiator as long as possible why isn't this commonplace now in today's production cars ? Why not 4 or 8 times through the radiator? I am not trying to knock your design, only curious about the logic behind it.
