Product Description
- Forged Racing Radiators has more tube surface for primary cooling and fewer fins allowing it to cool much more effectively.
- The technology used in FORGED RACING radiators and heater cores allow for greater heat transfer using the same or less space required for traditional copper/brass components.
- The increased number of fins on a stock/OEM radiator can also adversely affect the performance of the radiator.
- Fins allow less space for dirt and debris to pass through, it becomes harder for the air required to dissipate heat to pass through the radiator. This is very important in auto racing where more dirt, rubber and other debris is present.
- The higher fin count can represent a small air restriction which causes air to flow around the sides of the radiator rather than through it. Two additional benefits of aluminum racing radiators are strength and weight. Most radiators have the tanks welded to the tubes rather than brazed or sealed with epoxy. This makes the radiator much stronger and more capable of standing up to the rigors of racing.
- FORGED RACING aluminum racing radiators are also much lighter than original radiators because of the lighter materials.
Tips to Maintaining your Radiator
- If a central heating radiator fails to warm up, there may be air trapped inside it. Use the special square socket radiator bleed key to loosen the vent and allow air to escape. Hold a cloth under the vent to catch any water as the air is cleared and then re-tighten the vent.
- Another cause of cold or unevenly heated radiators is sludge collecting in the base of the radiator. The radiator will have to be removed and cleaned out, but it is a sign that the whole system needs flushing through with clean water, and that a special anti-corrosion fluid should be added to prevent future problems. This fluid is added to the small feed and expansion tank in the loft.
- Pinholes in steel radiators are a sign of internal damage. An isolated pinhole can often be sealed by the addition of a special radiator sealing fluid run into the system. But the trouble suggests that all the radiators may be affected by internal corrosion and that the whole system may need flushing through with a radiator-sealing fluid
