Technical Details and Construction
The Global Parts radiator 2978C features a 1-row aluminum core measuring 15.75 inches in height, 27.5 inches in width, and 0.94 inches thick. The aluminum core material ensures efficient heat dissipation while maintaining durability under high operating temperatures. The plastic tanks reduce overall weight and resist corrosion, contributing to the radiator's longevity. This radiator uses a cross flow design, which allows coolant to flow horizontally across the core, improving heat exchange efficiency. The inlet and outlet diameters are precisely sized at 1.38 inches and 1.4 inches respectively, ensuring a secure connection with the vehicle's cooling system hoses. With 78 core fins spaced every 4 inches, the radiator maximizes airflow to maintain engine temperature within optimal ranges.
