When determining which brand of charge air cooler to buy... Be sure you are comparing apples to apples!
For Example PART #222223
Fitting many Kenworth/Peterbilt Applications.
CORE CONSTRUCTION |
Extruded micro-fin END tubes provide strength where needed with the best heat transfer of any extruded tube. OE style stuffed fin CENTER tubes tubulates hot air for maximum heat transfer. |
Extruded smooth tubes offer strength, but provide almost no heat transfer. |
FIN DESIGN AND QUALITY |
.2 mm fin thickness for added strength from road debris. 12.5 mm fin height for better clog resistance and more air flow to the radiator behind it. |
.1 mm fin thickness bends and clogs with the slightest touch. 9.8 mm fin height, smaller opening clogs easier. |
TUBE CONFIGURATION |
Curved tube face for better aerodynamics. |
Flat tube face restricts air flow decreasing fuel |
NEEDED STRENGTH |
Thick 1.3 mm tube face on every tube for extra strength and impact resistance from road debris. |
Thin .65 mm tube face dents and punctures easily. |
AIR FLOW |
2 air diverting vanes in the tank for balanced air flow throughout the entire core. |
1 air diverting vane in the tank results in uneven pressure and flow forming hot and cold spots. |
