Recommended position in loop for High Flow NEXT?

Dienstag, 22. Dezember 2020, 16:28

I have seen some people insist that flowmeter should be placed before reservoir without mentioning reasons.

Anyway, I wonder that there exists best position for High Flow NEXT to reduce error of flowmeter sensor.
FYI, my loop consists of:

1st reservoir -> 1st pump -> 360 radiator x3 -> 2nd reservoir -> 2nd pump -> GPU waterblock -> CPU waterblock -> VRM waterblock -> return to 1st reservoir.

The flow rate is the same throughout the loop... water does not compress, measurably.
So anywhere in the loop will give the same result.

If you plan to use the High Flow NEXT's built in temperature sensor, you should place it where you are interested in reading the temperature.

From macroscopic point of view, that is true.
However, the sensor cannot be free from local turbulence or swirling and I thought that there should be optimal point to measure flow rate.
