I read it. What question(s) do you have?

“If we could ever figure out how to build copper tube and fittings that could hold the pressure we want, we’d have something special..."

“They are not nearly as a strong as extruded and won’t handle the pressure, and pressure is the key in today’s world,” says Paulsen, adding that even more technology goes into the design and manufacturing of tiny louvers on the fins between the tubes.

why so much pressure. I know as pressure builds the boiling point is raised, but running at a higher temp is going to lessen output after a certain point which I would imagine is in the 200* range. So what are they using the pressure for?

With regards to water flow, Paulsen admits there is a lingering theory that slow flow allows the water a chance to absorb the heat.
“We like a high flow rate,” stresses Paulsen. “It helps keep the hot spots down and higher flow rates create turbulation, which is where a tremendous amount of heat rejection comes from.”

I constantly see flow rate here on FABO as a problem, not a solution.
