Ernest,

Air comes in the back of the radiators and makes a 360 turn. Not suppose

Make that 360 a nice smooth turn, and you most likely won't loose much efficiency.  Put some hard corners in there in the wrong place, and it could turn out to be useless due to eddies and back currents blocking the air flow.
