The CSF High-Performance Bar & Plate Intercooler Core 22x12x3.5 represents a pinnacle of engineering excellence tailored for demanding automotive applications. Designed and manufactured by CSF, a leader in cooling technology, this intercooler core is engineered to meet the rigorous standards of high-performance tuning and racing environments. Its robust construction and advanced design features make it an indispensable component for enhancing engine efficiency and reliability under extreme boost conditions.
Measuring 22 inches in length, 12 inches in width, and 3.5 inches in thickness, this horizontal flow intercooler core is rated to support up to 850 wheel horsepower (WHP), making it an ideal choice for custom high-performance intercooler assemblies. The core’s bar and plate construction ensures superior durability and heat dissipation, critical factors in maintaining optimal intake air temperatures and preventing power loss during intense driving scenarios.
Each unit undergoes meticulous hand assembly within CSF’s controlled clean room environment, where skilled technicians employ specialized jigs and fixtures to guarantee a perfectly straight core. This precision assembly process facilitates seamless welding and ensures structural integrity. The use of gloves during assembly further preserves the core’s pristine surface, promoting effective brazing and preparing it for any future welding requirements.
One of the defining features of this intercooler core is its multi-louvered, high-precision staggered fin design implemented on both the ambient and pressure sides. This innovative fin configuration maximizes heat transfer efficiency, allowing for rapid cooling of charged air and contributing to improved engine performance and longevity. The staggered fins increase turbulence within the airflow, enhancing thermal exchange without compromising pressure drop.
CSF’s commitment to quality is further demonstrated through rigorous testing protocols. Each core is individually pressure tested at 120 psi to verify its capability to withstand extreme boost pressures reliably. The batch brazing process is conducted in CSF’s state-of-the-art digital vacuum brazing ovens—twelve ovens in total—ensuring uniform, high-quality joints that resist leaks and structural failures.
