HPPS 12v pump: Whats the flow rate and how does it compare to other pumps?
The new HPPS 12v pumps reach a flow rate of 1.2 liters/min and have a head height of over 1.65 Meters @ about 2.5 Watts. For comparison a standard 1046 will be around 0.7 l per minute, and the 1048 has a pump height of about 1.5 Meters, a 1250 nearly reaches HPPS levels but requires roughly 28 Watts !!! This new HPPS pump also has automatic oscillation detection (smoothes out flow), automatic restart, gradual starting procedure to go easy on the spinning wheel -> prolonging their life as well, and pure 12 V electronics, no high AC/DC running through a system anymore making them highly reliable. -> In simple words, this pump will outperform a 1048 anytime and features almost same rates as a 1250 by only using nearly a 10th of the Watts …… Fact is that Innovatek water blocks only require a minimum of 0.3 liters/min to provide successful cooling. So reaching a value of 1.2 l/m like the HPPS pump is 4 times greater then actually needed and is a great rate. For example, we have a system
