10 Things I Discovered about Flat Fin Radiators

When it comes to cooling down your engine, the radiator is of great importance. This is especially true during these hot summer months. Here are some of the interesting tidbits I’ve discovered about flat fin radiators:

1. Flat fin radiator cores have 3 types of materials – Brass, Copper, and Steel fin. These can also come in a non-louvered or louvered fin construction by which these are specifically designed in ensuring a maximum airflow. These types can also be structured with both high-flow and low-flow tubing.
2. Having been produced in copper or brass, flat fin radiators are well-resistant to salty and acid conditions.
3. Different types of flat fin radiators come in different sizes - the Copper is usually 2 rows up to 8 tube rows with a core thickness of 37 to 150 mm and its fin pitch is also 2.2 mm, 2.5 mm, and 3 mm. As for the Steel, it is normally 3 rows up to 8 rows with a core thickness of 57 to 150 mm and its fin pitch are also 2.2 mm, 2.5 mm, and 3mm (just the same as the Copper’s).
4. The core of a flat fin radiator looks like the picture below:

1. Flat fin radiators are designed for heavy equipments and large generators. Heavy equipments are large fuel-run and driver-operated machineries that are utilized in performing “heavy” tasks namely, earth moving, heavy lifting, demolition, digging, and light equipment or material transport.
2. The flatness of a fin in a flat fin radiator can also be measured by its thickness, and the unit of measurement used is millimeters.
3. Flat fin radiators offer OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)- quality, durability, and high-cooling efficiency to its users.
4. A fin in a radiator works by cooling a fluid and it is made from a thin sheet of heat-conductive metal.
5. Flat fin radiators are very useful especially in our polluted environment because its straight-through fin makes the cooling system insensitive to contamination. Aside from that, it is also easy to clean.
6. Flat fin radiators are available at Roberts Automotive and Industrial Parts Manufacturing Corporation!
