The figures indicate that in parallel, the volume of flow overall will be greater due to lower system resistance, yet the flow rate through each cooler will be less than if only one cooler is used. This will increase the contact time in the cooler, thereby increasing the amount of total cooling. (In theory )

You are right, Trevor. we now need to do practical tests to see if they follow. Unfortunately, because of my driving conditions, I am unable to do any meaningful back-to-back comparisons, but hopefully tlemmons will be able to do this.
