Our manufactured custom OE engine cooling modules for small gasoline engines to large-horsepower turbo diesel applications. Your choice of a variety of materials and core types (S-BAR, T-BAR, or P-BAR) offers design flexibility for high-performing radiators, CAC’s, or oil cooling. Full system modeling and validation of cooling modules is provided.

The rugged Air Belt Guard M Series provides solid performance in a compact size.  No fan motor is required in mounting the unit to a compressor belt guard.  These coolers, built from either round cooper tube and fin or bar and plate brazed aluminum construction, allow the use of free air flow from the belt guard on reciprocating compressors.  Lightweight and easy to install, this series is offered in seven models with capacities from 20-100 SCFM (.57-2.8 KW).
