Combat coolant flow direction

Featured Replies

Doing larger job, so many questions.

While connecting coolant hoses I got confused of the flow direction.

If the arrow on the pump is right the flow is opposite to the thermosyphon principal.

Anybody haves an idea why they have done this ?

Don't know how a vertigos cooling system works (though i have seen the nitro returns to a more conventional setup), but flow with a pump is far greater than any flow due to a temperature gradient, so no need to accomodate the latter. Do they take the feed from the bottom of the rad and return to the top, or return to the bottom like a GG?

The pump is pushing the hot water in the bottom of the rad.

But indeed, it would not matter with the electric pump. 

Must say I have doubts on the Nitro turning into a normal setup. On the other hand there are rarely problems with a water pump.

I see a hose connected to the bottom and one at the top. Surely the water exits the head and returns to the top of the radiator

There is an arrow on the pump wich points to the bottom of the radiator. Would be more logic indeed
