These radiators are made from
copper and brass. Copper and brass radiators have a higher heat
conduction rating than aluminum, so it is without question the best cooling
cores and fins material. Tests have shown that of similar core
designs, it proves conclusively, that aluminum radiators offer no real
temperature drop advantage over copper and brass. Results have shown
that core design has more bearing on temperature drop than the material
(copper- brass Vs. aluminum). Given the same thickness of material,
aluminum radiators does have a higher strength and can sustain more
physical abuse, however, to match the cooling efficiency of copper and
brass, aluminum radiators must use a thinner wall and more cores, but to
acheive this, the required physical size would have to increase for the
same cooling effect. That would therefore require a significant
increase in size. Additionally, copper and brass radiators can be
repaired more easily, with less specialized equipment, and at more
locations than aluminum. Copper and brass simply offer the best
overall advantage. Sage Parts offers either the standard version or
the extra high efficiency version.
