TYC Radiator Product Line Details

The TYC Radiator product line focuses on delivering reliable cooling components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This line emphasizes quality materials such as aluminum cores and precise manufacturing tolerances. The TYC Radiator 13230 exemplifies this approach by combining a robust core design with quick connect fittings to facilitate installation and maintain cooling system integrity.

Technical Description and Features

This radiator utilizes a single-row core with a crossflow configuration, which promotes efficient coolant flow and heat exchange. The aluminum core provides corrosion resistance and reduces overall weight compared to traditional copper-brass radiators. The fin wave height of 0.25 inches and fin wave pitch of 2.8 inches optimize airflow through the radiator, while the 90 tubes and 91 fin rows maximize surface area for heat dissipation. Both inlet and outlet connections use quick connect spring lock fittings with a 2.22-inch diameter, simplifying hose attachment and removal.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces damaged or leaking radiators in Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty trucks
• Addresses engine overheating issues caused by inefficient cooling
• Restores proper coolant flow and pressure with reliable quick connect fittings
