Koolance's Response to Hardware Labs "The Copper Radiator Myth"

[hwlabs]

One of our programs have actually yielded the possibility of using one of our racing cores (copper and brass) to generate down force due to its relatively lower pressure drop rating in relation to its HEx capacity. But that's something applicable when your car is running an average of 160MPH in between pit stops.

It isn't simply just about weight and cost in some aspects. Rally car radiators for instance are tuned to be optimized for a certain speed range in between acceleration.

There are actually more considerations as to why aluminum radiators have flourished in the automotive arena, but for the time being, it really is about costs.

Bill of Materials wise, Aluminum is CHEAPER than copper/brass radiators even if the process used to manufacture them is expensive. This is something Koolance wants its customers to believe. That's the reason why automotive manufacturers have shifted almost entirely to aluminum.

Koolance does not manufacture its own radiators, I'm waiting to get one of those and find the equivalent automotive part I suspect it shares a platform with on the market.
