Cooling/Water capacity per minute ?
A friend works on his '56,265 and he wants to know the cooling ( water) capacity per minute flowing through the system, sure he could try it but if
anybody knows it here?
Thank you
anybody knows it here?
Thank you

I would think that the physics of heat transfer would require water to move not too fast or not too slow. To fast and it doesn't absorb the heat, too slow, over heats. Probably need the "Goldilocks" speed.

Don't you mean gallon /minute?
And, at what head pressure is that rating? The more restriction/back pressure/head, you have in a centrifugal pump, the less it will flow, with enough head, you get no flow at all.

Have no idea what the test head pressure is - the Engineering specs just show GPM, with no other test data.

Adding a 2000 gal/min water pump (besides having parasitic losses greater than the HP of most of our engineers), would not be a good idea. You want the pump right-sized for best cooling and low parasitic losses, with a little margin for hotter temperature uses.
