Can anyone explain the thermal physics of dual pass radiators to me? I keep reading claims of increased cooling with those type of radiators, but it's not obvious to me why. It seems that if there's no change in the coolant flow volume (gallons per minute), or change in the fin surface area, or a change in the airflow through it, how can it reject heat any better than a single pass radiator. I can visualize a possible increase in turbulent coolant flow in a dual pass radiator, allowing possibly a bit more heat rejection into the internal surfaces, but that seems minor (to me) at best.
What am I missing?
Thanks.
