To those who asked, a triple, or triple flow radiator is one that has
internal baffles to force the incoming water to circulate through the
radiator 3 times before exiting to the engine. By spending more time in
the radiator, the water is able to transfer more heat & return to the
engine at a lower temp than a single or double pass radiator.
I think I am learning more about cooling than I want to know. Wish I
knew some thermal dynamics or fluid mechanics. Reading radiator adds is
a source of real frustration, as claims are not substantiated, apples
are compared to watermelons, etc.
As the weather has cooled somewhat, I was able to drive home with the
A/C this evening, water only got to 220` when stopped in traffic.
