CSF HIgh-Performance Radiator for 996 / 997 Porsche 911 Turbo, GT2, GT3 [7053]

CSF HIgh-Performance Radiator for 996 / 997 Porsche 911 Turbo, GT2, GT3 [7053]

With over five decades of expertise in manufacturing radiators, CSF delivers exceptional cooling solutions for vehicles like the 996 and 997. The CSF High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator is engineered to keep engines running at their best, whether on the street or at the track. Essential for high-horsepower builds and race vehicles, it provides superior cooling performance in demanding motorsports environments. This radiator features a 2-row core with CSF’s exclusive B-Tube Technology, offering significant advantages over standard “O”-shaped tubes. The “B-tube” design, precisely formed and seam-brazed, uses thinner, lighter aluminum for improved efficiency while maintaining enhanced strength. This innovative structure increases the heat transfer surface area by approximately 15%, delivering the performance of two smaller tubes within the space of one larger tube. The result is efficient “dual liquid laminar flow” for optimized cooling. Additionally, CSF employs ultra-efficient, multi-louvered fins that are carefully aligned to maximize airflow through the radiator core. Fin specifications are meticulously calculated and tested in CSF’s wind-tunnel lab to ensure maximum heat rejection efficiency for every application.

HIGH EFFICIENCY MULTI-LOUVERED FINS

• CSF incorporates ultra-efficient multi-louvered fins, precisely aligned to optimize airflow through each radiator core. Fin specifications are meticulously measured and tailored for each application, undergoing rigorous testing in CSF’s wind-tunnel lab to ensure maximum heat rejection efficiency.

CSF’S EXCLUSIVE B-TUBE TECHNOLOGY

• CSF utilizes a specially engineered “B-Tube” design instead of the conventional oval-shaped “O” type radiator tube. These “B-Tubes” are carefully crafted and brazed over the seam to ensure a secure seal. This innovative design allows CSF to employ thinner, lighter aluminum materials while achieving superior cooling efficiency, as the “B-Tubes” are stronger than traditional welded “O” shape tubes. By incorporating a seam-brazed middle section, the “B-Tube” design increases the heat transfer surface area by approximately 15% compared to standard tubes. This configuration delivers the performance of two smaller tubes within the space of one, providing enhanced “dual liquid cooling” efficiency.
