[QUOTE="Beercules, post: 16468050, member: 156123"] Sorry, I have to disagree. If the pump is cavitating you either have a hole in the intake line (pulling in air) or are pulling faster that the fluid can move in the hose size (pressure drops below the fluid's vapor pressure), replace with larger diameter hose. Pressurize the system to see if you have a leak. You don't want laminar flow in HEs, the fluid in the center of the line will stay in the center and won't transfer it's heat energy to the metal. With turbulent flow (in the heat exchanger, not the hose) Eddy currents will continually mix the fluid and force most every molecule against the metal, shedding enthalpy. With the puking reservoir, use 2 tees and hose. Run a large hose from the HE to the pump, tee in a small diameter bypass leading in/out of the reservoir in the large hose. This will serve to degas and bleed the system. Use high flow pumps. [/QUOTE]
