No way the thermal capacity of 1kg of hydrogen is a fifth as efficient as 5kg of polluted water. The polluted water should blow the hydrogen out of the 'water'. 60x sounds way more likely.

Where are you coming up with 5kg? Doesn't a liquid pump, and aquatuner both process 10kg a sec?

 

total capacity of 1kg H2: 1kg * 2.4 = 2.4

total capacity of 10kg ph20: 10kg * 6 = 60

 

total cooling from max regulator h2: 2.4 * 14 = 33.6

total cooling from max aquatuner ph20: 60 * 14 = 840

 

efficiency = total cooling / WATT

efficiency of regulator h2: 33.6 / 240 W = .14

efficiency of aquatuner ph20: 840 / 1200 W = 0.7

 

0.7 / .14 = 5

A max-efficiency aquatuner is 5 times more efficient than a regulator.

Please show me where my math was wrong.

I haven't used the aquatuner a lot since way back when they were introduced in the closed outbreak beta. And I think they may have had a different maximum then. I also misunderstood what was meant by efficiency. For some reason I wasn't thinking power efficiency, but effective cooling. My apologies for the confusion.
