ULTRA-T’s Proven Performance

Operators are always looking to improve their cooling system. Through enhanced cooling, the Adrad Ultra-T core has proven to benefit fuel consumption by reducing use of the fuel-hungry fan, whilst lowering or maintaining engine temperature.

A new slim-line, latest technology tube was necessary to increase coolant flow in the tubes and optimize thermal performance. This slim-line tube encourages excellent air flow through the ULTRA-T core, a major factor in core performance due to tightly packed fins and the extra row of overlapping tubes.

Once the optimum slim-line tube had been selected, development of the fin louvre and wind tunnel testing began.

The early design of four single louvres proved weak and deformed in wind tunnel testing, seriously restricting air flow and performance.

Following exhaustive testing, an eight window, split louvre design provided greater support and structural strength. The design was proven to deliver enhanced performance and air flow, and superior durability for the life of the core.

The split louvre has the characteristic of allowing debris to pass through the ULTRA-T core and maintains its shape during high pressure air, water or steam cleaning. Conversely, the old-technology single louvre catches debris, deforms/flattens during pressure cleaning, and is not suitable for multi-row, staggered-tube cores.
This is the experience and development that has produced the ULTRA-T radiator from Adrad, Australia’s most successful manufacturer with unmatched engineering and experience since 1922.

The ULTRA-T carries Adrad’s full nationwide warranty with a proven reputation supplying the aftermarket and Australia’s major OEM truck manufacturers for over 50 years.
To achieve enhanced cooling performance in modern vehicles it is essential to apply modern technology and proven designs.
