Rad Air Flow....Whats Best?

Currently my setup is push and pull and will stay so but flow is the key

Current setup of air flow below

Possible better air flow a a cross section

The above makes me think it might be a little better as the way the air cross so there wlll be a mixed force flow of air

Whats your ideas?

Looks to me like you'll blow cool air through and heat it up, then suck some of it back through and cool less efficiently?

agreed, all blowing in the same direction would be better

All in one direction - this way all the fans are moving a volume of air surrounding the apparatus, in this case a rad, in the same direction. This will reduce the amount of cavitation in the air on the suction side, and give a slightly higher, less turbulent flow of air.

Its an external system and the fans are 110cfm each so flow on it mind

if you think it might be better, try it and report back, I'd put 5 quid on it not being though
