Hey what's up gang. So I was just about to pull the trigger on a 60-plate heat exchanger unit for my "engine coolant to habitat hot water" system when a thought occurred to me.
So, i'm cramming all this engine coolant coming from the engine into this "series of plates" whose job it specifically is to create a cramped and turbulent series of chambers. Won't that, in theory, dramatically increase the wear on my engine's (Cat 3116) water pump? Or am i worrying too much about a non-issue "because it's a big beefy diesel-engine water pump and won't even notice the added work required to move that coolant?
Thanks in advance.
