P-BAR technology incorporates radiator, hydraulic oil and charge air coolers into one package — all custom-engineered to fit OE performance and design requirements
P-BAR brings you the best solution in heat transfer for high volume (qty.) applications & when competitive costs are key. Custom-engineered engine cooling with remarkable heat rejection offers high performance for mobile applications. P-BAR is a flexible design, long-lasting, and a cost-effective aluminum solution.
With P-BAR technology, our OE-focused Application engineers design solutions for heavy duty industrial and mobile applications to meet the most challenging requirements. The P-BAR core offers high thermal and fluid dynamic performance with an increased resistance to extreme conditions. Our P-BAR brazed aluminum core construction offers high resistance to mechanical stresses and corrosion. We insure that welded joints between the cooler’s components comply to the highest standards. And, because of its modular construction, P-BA R allows dimensional adaptability and flexibility for both fabricated or welded tanks. P-BAR is the perfect fit for high quantity, high powered OEs
Cores:
P-Bar heat exchangers are manufactured entirely of aluminum alloys. Our patented in-house brazing process uses aluminum alloys and our modern brazing furnace. The core components are available in a wide variety of types and sizes.
These robust coolers have high working temperatures and operating pressures. Units can be manufactured with any connection type and mounting elements.
Turn-Key Cooling Modules:
- Modules are pressure and leak tested, assembled and packaged.
- Prototypes and production products can be completed in short lead times.
- P-BAR provides core geometries for radiators (water-air), oil coolers (oil-air), air coolers for engines (CAC), air coolers for compressors (air-air), fuel coolers, air-oil welded combos, and turn-key engine cooling modules.
- P-BA R- Complete cooling packages can be equipped with fan, motor, finger guard, expansion tank, etc.

Quoting & Build Process
- An application data sheet will need to be provided to Thermal Transfer Products to begin the quoting process.
To include:
OE Engine data/Hydraulic Oil data/Fan data/Application data.
Dimensional size of available envelope for cooling module.
Sketch layout to show port locations and type. - Thermal Transfer Products will provide initial predictive theoretical performance data sheet and dimensional size after required data is assembled.
- After performance data approval by customer, a budgetary quote and prototype costing will be submitted for review.
- A prototype order will trigger Thermal Transfer Products to design a top level drawing for customer signature approval.
- Approved drawing design will start the manufacturing process.
Lead times vary dependant on data discovery & complexity of cooling module. A lead time will be offered when quoted.
Look to P-BAR for cost efficient, custom-engineered units and modules for all of your OE cooling requirements.
