Strength and Reliability
The key to strength, durability, and performance comes from vacuum brazing. Vacuum brazing is a manufacturing process used to join all the components once assembled that requires the use of magnesium. Magnesium is found in aluminum alloys to give structural components strength when high strength is required. Griffin Thermal Products utilizes this process to offer one of the toughest aluminum radiators on the market today. By producing the tubes, fins, headers, side bands, tanks, and mounting brackets in house, every piece is performance matched for optimum cooling with unsurpassed quality.
- Available ComboUnit package includes a factory mounted high performance electric fan with a custom fit aluminum shroud.
