I don't know that you're going to get even and equal flow rates.
I had the same thought... I think with the tees in the configuration that they are, the pressure is most likely to go straight through and only whatever back pressure there is will go off the side. Is you turn the tees so that the inputs are on the sides, I think you'll get more even flow. It just isn't the most space consuming.
2 things....
#1: "... and see how fast i chill down a 10 gallon batch".... I'm thinking the instant you put all that copper in your boil... it will cool down enough to loose boil!
#2: I wonder if you could find a 3-way valve instead of the Tee's. Then you can adjust the proportion going to each branch.

Good ideal of a valve to balance it ill have to do temperature readings on in and outs
I was going to say that or somehow reduce the diameter on the output side to build up pressure and force the water to take both paths.

output is 1/2 tee flow was even temperature was within 2 degrees of each other wort was chilled in 20 minutes to 68 but the keg still was over 100 at the bottom on the outside of the pot
