Unlike a regular oval shape "O" type radiator tube, CSF uses a specially engineered tube in a shape of a "B". These "B-tubes" are carefully formed and then brazed over the seam to seal. CSF is able to use thinner and lighter aluminum material (better cooling efficiency) because this design is actually stronger than normal "O" shape tubes that are welded.

The design (inlet in the middle of tube that is seam brazed) increases the heat transfer surface area of the tube by approximately 15% over regular tubes. You get the efficiency of 2 smaller tubes vs. 1 large tube within the same space criteria. With "B-tubes" you are able to get "dual liquid laminar flow."

The tubes are made from aircraft grade special clad aluminum and are intricately formed on our high precision 6-stage tubeforming mill. No other aftermarket radiator manufacturer uses this technology. This technology raises the bar and sets the standard for high performance radiator cores.

In testing, our high performance aluminum radiator showed a significant increase in efficiency over the stock unit. This was the major challenge in creating this radiator as the O.E. Porsche part is already very efficient, so much so that even the RSR race cars simply use a modified version of the stock piece. 


Thanks to CSF’s technical innovations like their B-tubing, superior end tank design, and exquisite craftsmanship, we came up with a design that showed it was capable of removing 5,800 Kcal/hour more than the stock unit. This equates to an average 12.8% increase in efficiency.
