Testing done in Korea, by The "Korean Automotive Technology Institute". Honestly, I don't even know who they are. For all I know, this is a school, and a bunch of students did this work, dirt cheap.

They have a pretty website. Note how there is no reference to radiator testing, in their listed testing capabilities; it's all engine related, but they couldn't have this testing facility for nothing.

The disclaimer is unusual.

Granted that the viscosity effect wasn't considered. Granted that the pressure measurements could be off. I'm not convinced that Katech even knew what they were testing. Either way, dissipating 6 to 9 kW isn't anything like dissipating 200 Watts, so we're already passed the point of determining wether or not the data has any value (it doesn't).

I don't have any experience dealing with Asian companies, but I would expect it to be hard to get them to do something, unless you pay them a hefty fee, and I seriously doubt that Koolance forked over a lot of money for this. It's woefully inadequate information, but if it was free/cheap, and Koolance could get it, I wouldn't be surprised to see them making an effort to make it public. I'm leaning towards Koolance coming across this data, as it was volunteered by their supplier: note the name of the "applicant" (Park Jae-Sung) is Korean, not American. Unfortunately, this is the kind of background information that we never find out about, but would be oh so revealing. Why Koolance would go through the effort of defending this information is puzzling.
