I'm trying to figure out a couple things for my custom water cooling build. I'm not going to be using a radiator, but I am going to be using/building a heat exchanger, and I was trying to compare the surface area of the heat exchanger to the surface area of a radiator(since a radiator is just a type of heat exchanger) so I can get an idea of how much surface area I really need.
Obviously the fins on the radiators affect the total heat exchanger surface area..but I can't find any specifications or literature on how much total(or even theoretical) surface area a radiator has.
Anyone have a link to a site, or any ideas how to get a halfway-accurate spec on the average surface area of say, a 120mmx360mm radiator?
