I have a fairly bizarre problem.  Need to get rid of 3 GW of waste
heat from lasers in orbit.  The pump diodes use a total flow of 60
cubic meters per second at 22 deg C inlet and 34 deg C outlet.

Take the working temperature further down ? ( increases efficiency )
look into other coolants that are lighter and have less viscosity?

wild shot:
find a way to compress (centrifuge ? ) the evaporated coolant
to higher temperatures, radiate away the heat ...
