There are a lot of basic design parameters that you have to specify, i.e., what is the design delta T for the coolant, what is the design ambient?
As an example, based on a system we designed for a smaller military application with a 5°C delta T and 400 W load, the scaled coolant flow would be 264 gpm, but that probably has little correlation with your system

Depends on PHE design (size, corrugation, plates, ...) Get manufacturer´s calculation programs like here:
