Like when your a little hungover and turn the shower on, then get in without adjusting the temperature.....weird analogy, but hopefully you get the point.

This heat is not generated at all times, it primarily occurs when you have it "loaded", meaning the unit is working to move fluid, and not just sitting allowing fluid to pass through. I don't think at any time it gets hot enough to risk boiling or compromising the fluid, unless there was an additional mechanical problem in the braking system.
That makes sense! Work generates heat also. LOL

Anyway, I think that to be on the safe side, I'm gonna put in a passive, pass through heat exchanger. This is good stuff, it's nice to share ideas.
