Latest Heat Exchanger Pics - Black Thermal Coating - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just wanted to share some more pics of our heat exchanger for the Camaro's and this time with our optional Black Thermal Barrier Coating.

We have HUNDREDS of these IN STOCK and READY TO SHIP TODAY

Some nice details about our unit.

This double pass heat exchanger is of the highest quality. The cores, welds and design are used in many high performance applications for both street and track use.

Furnace brazed core (no epoxies) with beautifully tig welded tank construction

High efficient double pass design vs. others single pass.

Using years of experience, advanced design, and thorough testing, Torq Heat Exchangers are designed to promote optimal air flow and cooling by utilizing appropriate fin count, tube size, core thickness, and fin serration for each particular application.

Optional Dual 10" fans provide the ultimate in airflow at all vehicle speeds

That looks nice in the black thermal coating.

Go with the dual fan type. Works great!

Maybe I do not fully understand the theory behind how heat exchangers work but I was under the impression that they radiated heat from the hot water to the cooler air that flows through the heat exchanger.

It seems to me that a thermal barrier would create a thermal barrier that would reduce the heat exchanger's ability to transfer heat from the water to the air.

You should actually be using a heat dissipating coating or nothing at all. Bare aluminum dissipates heat very well.

The kit does look really nice, but I would stay away from the thermal barrier.

Correct me if im wrong, but would you want heat dissipation coating on the heat exchanger? A thermal barrier is the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish - Check out Cerakote "Transfer Black C-187" or "Arctic Black P-202" from NIC Industries.

Does the front bumper have to come off to install this?

I didn't see anything on their web site regarding a black thermal coating, but here are the specs for the heat exchanger (radiator) from their site.
