Will this condenser pump work?

[GoodOleBoy]

I found a new pump in a thrift store rated as follows:
Maximum flow = 332 gallons per hour
Maximum Total Lift = 115 feet
Inlet and outlet diameters = 1 inch pipe

This is probably far bigger capacity than I need as I will be circulating water through 16 feet of 1/4 inch condenser coil. My question is do I have to install a bypass on the outlet side of the pump to relieve excess pressure and will I burn the pump up if I just reduce the outlet from 1 inch to 1/4 inch?

It is highly likely you will quickly burn up the pump, if you do not also plumb in a bypass dump on the outlet. .25" is mighty small tubing, and there simply may not be enough water flow inside the pump to keep the pumps "guts" cool, and to keep the presure buildup from also causing premature failure.

I would think that if you y off the output line and install a valve on the 1in side,then ran a 1in line back into your water barrel to recirculate some of that presure back into the barrel ,then it would probably work,as long as the back presure aint too high.Use the valve to control it.
