Basically the figures
that George mentioned were quoted in the source. However (big however)
what may not have been clearly pointed out was that the major part of the
reason cooling effectiveness (not efficiency) increased was that inclining the
heat exchanger permitted you to install ever larger area cores in the same size duct. So the
increase in cooling effectiveness by inclination was in large part (like ‘entirely’
– my words) due to the larger size radiator permitted by inclined placement in
the duct.
Yeah; that’s it. Thanks, Ed.
With modern high density cores, basically
straight thru is best efficiency and lowest weight.
