Water Cooling Radiator Calculator

Equation for water cooling temperature rise.

Water cooling radiator calculator. D t is the temperature rise or delta deg c q is the heat load or dissipated power w or j sec m dot is the mass flow rate gm sec. 46 31 420530 asia pacific. Btus are british thermal units the unit in which radiator efficiency is measured. For example if you re liquid cooling a cpu and a single high performance graphics card it is recommended you use at least one 240mm 2x 120mm radiator for good performance.

Factors such as room dimensions window size and wall material are used to calculate the required outputs of radiators in order to adequately heat a room. The rule of thumb is to use at least one 120mm radiator section per each water cooled component plus one additional section. This actually means that if the temperature of the liquid circulating in the radiator is 10 c higher than ambient temperature the radiator can remove 350w of heat at that fan speed and that coolant flow. The chart shows that with two vardar fans in a push setup spinning at 1800 rpm the ek coolstream xe 240 has a cooling power of 350w 10 c.

A water cooling calculator is provided below to perform these quick calculations. Btu calculator ac btu calculator. Each component cpu gpu and chipsets will require at least 120mm of a radiator or 240mm to be safe. It s also worth considering how many components you ll be cooling in the water cooling loop.

Sales and support centers emea. Use this calculator to estimate the cooling needs of a typical room or house such as finding out the power of a window air conditioner needed for an apartment room or the central air conditioner for an entire house. Determine heat rejected from the engine to the cooling water as a function of crank shaft rotational speed. Determine mass flow rate of the cooling water as a function of the crank shaft rotational speed.
