The idea of creating a radiator from aluminum was based on using more tubes that were wider, and lowering the height of the fins. This would eliminate dead space between the tubes. The standard aluminum radiator tube width is 1”, so a typical 2-row aluminum radiator has a 2” tube-to-fin contact area per row.
Compared to the typical 4-row copper radiators which had a 1.7” tube-to-fin contact area. So ACP decided to kick it up a notch by making the tubes in their 2-row MaxCore radiator 1-1/4” wide creating a 2-1/2” tube-to-fin contact area. Greatly exceeding the performance of a copper 4-row design.
