New CSF Miata Radiators
Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2014 1:43 pm
We got one NC application unit to test fit....and we were blown away at the precision of the welds and fit, quality of the brackets and fin work, nicely done units! Some of their spec info below.
"B-Tube" technology - Unlike a regular oval shape "O" type radiator
tube, CSF uses a specially engineered tube in a shape of a "B".
These "B-tubes" are carefully formed and then brazed over the
seam to seal. CSF is able to use thinner and lighter aluminum
material (better cooling efficiency) because this design is actually
stronger than normal "O" shape tubes that are welded.
The design (inlet in the middle of tube that is seam brazed)
increases the heat transfer surface area of the tube by
approximately 15% over regular tubes. You get the efficiency of
2 smaller tubes vs. 1 large tube within the same space criteria.
With "B-tubes" you are able to get "dual liquid laminar flow."
The tubes are made from aircraft grade special clad aluminum
and are intricately formed on our high precision 6-stage tube-
forming mill. No other aftermarket radiator manufacturer uses
this technology. This technology raises the bar and sets the
standard for high performance radiator cores.
