For each orifice in a flow regime, there is an associated pressure drop. Each and every one contributes to overall resistance and, hence, the amount of coolant flow that can occur for a given pump.
I work for a chemical company. We design piping systems regularly. The situation is analgous to putting resistors in series and amperage that flows.
