I created a test setup comparing heat exchange of regular pipe with radiant pipe - identical tanks of hot water, made of abyssalite, with the same length of pipe running through them, one normal tungsten pipe the other radiant tungsten pipe. I pumped cold water through them and there appears to be no difference at all in heat exchange - in both the water gets only 0.7C hotter after running through the tank. Radiant pipe either doesn't work at all or the boost to heat exchange is so weak it's immeasurable. I re-tried this several times looking for errors in my setups but never got a difference in temperature larger than 0.1C (with temperature change being as high as 1.5C)
Steps to Reproduce
1. Create two heat-exchange setups, identical except for radiant pipe in one and regular pipe in the other 2. Observe the lack of promised "significant" increase in thermal exchange
