Technical Details and Construction

The Global Parts radiator 2878C features a cross flow core design that promotes efficient coolant flow and heat exchange. The aluminum core measures 536.7 mm in height, 619.25 mm in width, and 31.75 mm in thickness, providing a robust surface area for heat dissipation. The plastic tanks reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity. This radiator includes a transmission oil cooler with tube fittings sized at 0.73 inches diameter, positioned 12.99 inches apart, facilitating proper transmission fluid cooling. The single core row and 78 fins per 4 inches optimize airflow and thermal transfer, supporting engine performance in Volvo S80, XC60, and XC90 models.
