Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

It's a bit difficult to tell what you are talking about. More detail would help . For your coil I'd suggest Rhodent's design. This is a picture of Hook's take on it.

Notice that the inner and outer coils are split and joined at the bottom with a ' cold finger' and at the top with another pipe. This effectively halves your restriction , doubles your flow and doubles the cooling capacity. This is especially important if you plan on pumping to a reservoir.
