Radiators
A high performance cooling system allows optimal use of the engine’s power and efficiency, regardless of the driving conditions. This is why Valeo radiators are designed and developed with the highest quality standards – particularly for the moulding, brazing, water tanks crimping, tube density and assembly of the cores & manifold.
Professional design for Professional buses fleets and drivers
Benefits from Valeo Radiator range
- Designed for Bus and coach applications
- Rigid side members & tank connection
- Longer resistance to shocks and vibrations
- Tube and fins density allows for better thermal exchange and reduces the risk of overheating
- Side plate connection design
- Constant thickness and high flange
- Connection to header to avoid tube failure due to vibrations
- Brazing Quality with O.E. standards
- for better performance, resistance to vibrations and enhanced durability
- O.E. cooling performance enabling to make fuel savings
- Right choice of materials and right designs
- The dimensions of the exchangers are meticulously respected for easier fitting
- Minimized corrisions and vibrations
- Thermal expansion feature in side plate
- Control deformations during thermal load to avoid cracking in the water tube
- Core and header plate assembly reduces the risk of leakage
Valeo tips for radiator replacement:
- The cooling capacity of the replaced radiator should be at O.E. quality level
- Mounting points of the radiator must be carefully checked to avoid any misalignment which can lead to radiator failure
- Dimensions of the old and replaced products should be similar
- A pressure test is needed to check the old cap is sealing correctly
- In case of pressure test failure, the cap must be renewed
- Thermostat condition must also be checked and replaced if necessary in case overheating was formerly detected
