Downflow Radiators

A Be Cool crossflow radiator is always more efficient than a downflow radiator because the pressure cap is positioned on the low-pressure side in a crossflow configuration. This allows sustained high RPM operation without forcing fluid past the cap. Also, underhood space considerations often allow crossflow radiators to use a larger core that has more surface area. The larger surface area of a cross flow area allows the radiator's capacity to be increased. This is more efficient and results in more effective cooling. Always update to a crossflow conversion radiator if it is offered for an original downflow application. Sometimes fitting a crossflow model is not possible and, in those cases, Be Cool offers a performance downflow radiator.
