Adrad has been manufacturing and supplying quality engine cooling products for over 40 years. One of their hugely successful products for heavy duty cooling applications is ADFUSE welded radiator cores.
Industrial radiators are typically constructed by soldering the tubes and headers together to form the core. This method is satisfactory for many applications. However, if this radiator is subjected to extreme heat or high stress, the soldered joints can eventually fail.
Built for maximum strength
ADFUSE welding produces much stronger bonds than solder alone and provides extra protection against extreme heat and stresses from thermal expansion, vibration and pressure. As a result, when these radiators are used in heavy duty water and oil cooling applications, they can last much longer.
A single large ADFUSE radiator core may contain over five hundred tubes that are welded at both ends, so the entire core involves more than 1000 individual welds. Computer-controlled robots take less than two seconds to complete each tube-to-header weld with an accuracy of less than 0.1mm. For even more strength, each ADFUSE weld is also back-filled with solder to provide extra support to each individual tube.
ADFUSE produces a maximum strength bond able to better withstand the high temperatures and constant vibration that are found in demanding applications. Exclusive to Adrad, ADFUSE welded cores are available on configurations including 5/8” and 1/2” Ultra T.
ADFUSE Adbot high precision welding. Image: AdradUltra-T is a heavy-duty, high-performance tubular radiator design featuring close tube row pitch that allows a greater number of tubes to be incorporated in applications that involve space restrictions.
The close tube row pitch allows a higher concentration of tubes in the core matrix which gives the Adrad Ultra -T cores more tube to deliver high performance cooling. The improved cooling of Ultra-T combined with the superior strength of the advanced ADFUSE welded tube-to-header joint delivers an unbeatable combination of performance and durability.
This is the ideal long-lasting, high-performance radiator for hard working engines in on-highway applications. Thousands of trucks across Australia have benefitted from upgrading to an ADFUSE radiator.
