Good question too! I guess the fundamental question is why did Ten Tec select 
90 CFM fan instead of 250 CFM.

If you put too much air around a tube, won't the aerodynamics of the
convection structure come into play creating votexes and/or diversion of or
an uneven airflow past select surface area that needs air flowing over it?

"You can't put too much air flow on a tube."
 
Now, does that mean, you can put too much air on a tube?
Or does it mean, you can put huge amounts of air on a tube?
