Further reflections on watercooling: Difference between revisions

If you calculated your total volume accurately, and track how much fluid you've added, you can know to your satisfaction when you've eliminated all air. This can be useful when you have opaque volumes (like most radiators—I've never seen a transparent radiator, don't know why, it would be cool) at the top of your loop.

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_law Pascal's principle] states that a pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted through the fluid such that the change acts everywhere. This has various effects:

** Opening a horizontal port lower than other fluid in the loop will see fluid leave that port until the heights are equalized, once again making a big mess.
