Abstract

An all-aluminum radiator made of aluminum was more excellent on environment friendliness, productivity, and cooling efficiency than the plastic tank radiator which was currently widely used in same size as above. A newly designed and manufactured radiator with all parts made of aluminium was ready to re-use without any disassembly process in recycle system so as to improve environment friendliness with low waste cost. Several manufacturing processes of the current plastic tank radiator such as O-ring inserting, and clinching of core to the tank, were eliminated on the manufacturing processes of the all-aluminium radiator, which would increase productivity and reduce production cost. Design criterion of all-aluminum radiator was presented by carrying out theoretical analysis of cooling capacity and there was no difference between analytical data and measurements. Cooling capacity of the all-aluminum radiator increased generally 13% up compared with the plastic radiator even though the pressure drop of air increased.
