NEW CHARGE COOLER





VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. IT'S NEW! IT'S DIFFERENT!
BEAUTY AND FUNCTION GOT TO LOVE IT.
UNIVERSAL APPLICATION.
TAKES INTERCOOLING/AFTERCOOLING TO A DIFFERENT LEVEL.
VERY PROUD TO CARRY SUCH AN INNOVATIVE PRODUCT!

Initial testing on a turbocharged vehicle should a temp drop of 90 degrees with the unit installed right after the turbocharger (18 PSI) and before a traditional Air 2 Air Intercooler.

So that's a drop of 90 degrees using engine coolant run from the radiator to the unit. Imagine the results with a dedicated coolant system.

All I can say is I wish I had designed it! With that said you can bet I am all about figuring out how to optimize it 7 ways from sunday!! Already have a complete system ready to go!!

Put together a complete kit, with pump, resevoir, etc... for any application. Currently only have a limited number of these available and they are special order only!

Imagine the results with a dedicated coolant system.

Can't wait to do more testing and playing to perfect it for our CARS!
~CONSTRUCTION & DETAILS~
Extrusion made from 6063 aluminum that is heat treated to a durable and rigid design.
Pressed from a 500# billet, this extrusion is one of a kind. It's a single piece with no seams.
Described as a work of art, this functional heat exchanger is very adaptable.
The inner passage has 37.15 inches of thermal exchange surface. So every inch of pipe has 37.15 square inches of heat exchange surface.
Thus a 12 inch section has an incredible 445.80 square inches of transfer area. Almost hard to believe that it can be packed into a tube with an outside diameter of only 2.75".
Of course Aluminum is known for the fact that is has a very fast heat transfer rate compared to other metals.
When you pass heated air through the inner finned tube "Air Passage", the heated air passes over these fins and they absorb the heat. From there, you pull that heat out and away from those fins by the outer jacket's "Coolant Channels".


Around this 2.75" tube is another tube measuring 3.375". Between these tubes is a hollow passage. This void can be filled with water, glycol, gasses or other substances to "flush" the heat away from the inner tube.

Each end of the Pipe is capped with a Fitting Collar. Each collar is tapped with "NPT" National Pipe Threaded holes. This allows you to attach one or multiple coolant supply and return lines to each Fitting Collar.

Each Fitting Collar has 3 separate coolant ports that are threaded 3/8" NPT. This allows you to attach from 1 to 3 supply and return lines to each Fitting Collar for plenty of coolant flow volume.

It incorporates Viton O-rings for sealing to the main pipe. This Fitting Collar simply slips on the end of the main pipe and is held in place with a large c-clip.

This allows the Fitting Collar to be rotated 360 degrees to any position you like for hose placement. The Pipe and Fitting Collars are anodized for corrosion protection and appearance.

The Pipe inlet and outlet connection surface is grooved for maximum grip with your connector hoses.

The inlet of the Hard Pipe is "ramped in" to minimize interruption of the air stream by eliminating the wall thickness ledge normally associated with a tube connected to a hose.

~OPERATION~

Basically you run a liquid through the Coolant Channels and this is used to pull the heat away from the fins, cooling the heated air in the inner Air Passage.

The Hard Pipes have an incredible 37.15 inches of linear surface.

This means for inch of air passage, we have 37.15 square inches of surface contacting the heated air.

Run the liquid through the Coolant Channels in the opposite direction of the flow of heated air in the Air Passage. This makes for the coldest possible output.

Offering these in 6, 8, 10 and 12" lengths, you can use any combination of these lengths to achieve a longer pipe.

You could use a 12" and a 10" to make a 22" setup.

Or, if you have room for a 12" pipe, choosing two 6" pipes would prove more effective, again, because you can introduce fresh "cool" coolant half way through. It all depends on what you have room for and how much cooling you are trying to achieve!

How much do these units cost?

259.00 to 269.00 depending on size ordered for the pipe only - fittings, hoses, pump, radiator, etc... are extra. You can build your own kit around the pipe or we can supply some or all of what you need.

Email us using the link at the top right of the blog for more details.
