CSF High-Performance Bar & Plate Intercooler Core 22x12x4.5
Description
The CSF High-Performance Bar & Plate Intercooler Core 22x12x4.5 represents a pinnacle of engineering excellence within the automotive cooling industry. Designed for high-output applications, this intercooler core is trusted by leading tuning and performance companies worldwide for its superior durability and efficiency. With dimensions of 22" x 12" x 4.5", this horizontal flow core is engineered to support up to 1000 WHP, making it an ideal choice for custom high-performance intercooler builds that demand uncompromising quality and reliability.
Each unit undergoes rigorous pressure testing at 120psi to ensure maximum reliability under extreme boost conditions, a critical factor for maintaining optimal performance in demanding environments. The manufacturing process is meticulous and precise: every core is hand-built using specialized jigs and fixtures to guarantee a perfectly straight and true core, facilitating straightforward and secure welding during installation. This assembly takes place within a controlled clean room environment at the CSF factory, where technicians employ gloves to preserve the integrity of the brazing and maintain a pristine surface, thereby enhancing the longevity and serviceability of the core.
The intercooler core features a multi-louvered, high-precision staggered fin design on both the ambient and pressure sides. This advanced fin configuration optimizes heat transfer efficiency, ensuring that the core dissipates heat effectively even under high thermal loads. The staggered fin layout increases turbulence, which enhances cooling performance without compromising airflow, a critical balance for maintaining engine power and reliability.
Manufacturing excellence is further demonstrated through CSF’s use of state-of-the-art digital vacuum brazing ovens—12 ovens in total—where each core is batch brazed to achieve superior bond strength and structural integrity. This process minimizes the risk of leaks and enhances durability, critical for components exposed to high pressures and temperatures. Strict quality control protocols are enforced throughout production, including individual pressure testing of each core to certify performance standards are met or exceeded.
