- Horizontal and vertical flow configurations available
- Custom aluminum radiator cores for different cooling requirements
Custom Radiator Core Development
We provide custom radiator core development for automotive, industrial, construction machinery, agricultural equipment, compressors, and other specialized cooling applications. Instead of limiting projects to standard core specifications, we can develop a custom aluminum radiator core around your actual installation space, cooling requirements, operating conditions, and equipment structure.
Core height, width, thickness, fin density, tube configuration, flow layout, material selection, header structure, connection positions, and pressure requirements can all be adjusted according to the project. Custom development is especially suitable for non-standard applications, discontinued equipment, modified cooling systems, and projects where an existing replacement core cannot provide the required fit or thermal performance.
To start a custom radiator core project, you can send us your technical drawing, OE information, existing sample, or confirmed dimensions. Our engineering team can review the available information and help confirm the core structure and production requirements before prototype development or regular production.
If a complete drawing is not available, you can also fill in the parameter form below with the required core dimensions, cooling medium, connection details, operating conditions, and other specifications. This information will help us evaluate the project and develop a radiator core that matches your application more accurately.
Superior Flow Pattern & Design
The turbulator fin is the most influential cooling component in our bar and plate cores. Our fins are uniformly and fully brazed to the entire tube surface, resulting in strongly sealed and leak-proof cores. Available in 3 distinctive fin designs.
High Performance & Durability
Not all cores are created equal. You will not find another core that offers a better combination of performance, durability and flow. It is this combination that has made our cores the preferred choice of motorsport enthusiasts and demanding OEMs.
Core Details
Tube and fin core VS bar and plate core
The difference between tube-and-fin and plate-fin cores lies in the fact that the former uses simple fins and flat tubes to replace the flow channels composed of long seals, internal fins, and short seals. The advantage of the tube-and-fin design is its lightweight construction, while its disadvantage is that it cannot withstand high operating pressures. The plate-fin design, on the other hand, is heavier but can withstand high operating pressures. However, since automotive radiators and intercoolers operate at relatively low pressures, Tube-and-fin designs are widely used in automotive and other applications where low weight, compact construction, and cost efficiency are important.
