The easiest way to calculate the necessary flow of Coolant is to use a rule of thumb that is based on the actual power thermal density of the Coolant.
For BitCool we recommend a minimum flow rate of 2.2L per min per KW
For EC-100 we recommend a minimum flow rate of 2.0L per min per KW.
For EC-110 we recommend a minimum flow rate of 1.7L per Min per KW
While these are the calculated efficiency values for our Dielectric Coolants our experience is that no tank or system design is perfect. Also there can be a large variation in flow rates depending on the dry coolers used, so we recommend adding about 20% overhead to the above flow rate numbers and using that as your calculated base flow for pumps and dry coolers. Then given that you are using a variable flow pump (Variable Frequency Drive or VFD) you can then back off on the pump speed to find the optimum speed for your system.
