Recoring

Recoring charge air coolers is a precision process. Our technicians have been factory trained at Active Radiator in Philadelphia. The recoring process is shown in the following:

Once a core has been determined, the first step in recoring is to make a jig. All parts must be held accurately in position during welding. This assures the final assembly will fit properly.
.

The next step is tank removal. The tanks are carefully cut off.

 

 

The tanks are then carefully cleaned and the edges milled to ensure a good weld to the new core.

 

The tanks are then welded to the new core. Using Active Radiator cores featuring 0% leakage and carefully welding provides a recored charge air cooler that does not leak. This ensures adequate cooling of the air and all output from the turbo gets to the engine. This gives improved milage and reduced emissions.

Here is a finished unit installed in a Mack. Also note the new radiator behind the charge air cooler. This is an Active bolt on tank radiator replacing the solder tank, welded side rail original radiator. This will facilitate future repair and recoring, saving the customer time and money.
