Laminova’s unique patented design makes it up to 20% more efficient than its competition. The laminar flow pattern reduces the pressure drops that occur, compared to conventional heat exchangers. THE CORE can be delivered either separately or ready for Numereous applications installation in a customer-designed and manufactured housing. The patended Laminova design can best be described as This gives a very cost efficient integration. an almost infinite number of interconnected laminar flow Most cores are custom-designed according to performance cooling fins. and mechanical interface. Some of the popular core sizes Currently, automotive applications dominate. Engine have become standard products, used by automotive manu- oil cooling, transmission, power steering and intercooler facturers and racing teams world-wide. applications are the most common but the core is also suitable for other uses. Designed for maximum efficiency The fins of the core are manufactured with a patented production process. It creates a huge cooling area because of the cylindrical design. The laminar flow principle means low pressure drop and excellent heat transfer along the entire length. The inside of the core has generous coolant passages that are very tolerant to debris and gives negligible pressure drop. The core can be fitted both on the full coolant flow or in a partial flow circuit. The cylindrical finned design offers increased cooling capacity due to a massive surface area. Pulsation and hydraulic pressure resistance is high due to the solid design. Material The core is a single piece made from extruded aluminium for excellent heat transfer. It has no solderings. Low weight and high efficiency are two benefits gained from using only aluminium. The alloy is EN-AW-1050A 99.5%. 4 SIZES Oil Coolers Intercoolers S34 (Ø 34mm) IC45 (Ø 45mm) C43 (Ø 43mm) IC39.5 (Ø 39,5mm) EC54 (Ø 54mm) ECD54 (Ø 54mm) Standard sizes The core diameters are 34-63 mm with lengths up to 410 mm. It is possible to put one core inside another for extreme cooling applications. Cores can be extended together for extra capacity by using a simple joint. Laminova also supplies a standard housing assortment with a wide range of different water and oil connection sizes. This solution is common in racing/after market applications and as prototypes for tests and evaluation. BENEFITS • High cooling efficiency compared to size • Compact cylindrical design • High quality single-piece aluminium design • Laminar flow pattern for low pressure drop • Open design for low pressure drop on the inner coolant side • Easy to integrate and install • Solder-free connections • Many possibilities of uses. 5 Oil Coolers ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION OIL COOLING Laminova heat exchangers control engine and transmission oil temperatures. They are robust, efficient and extend life of engines and transmissions. They are delivered as standard products or for use in customer-designed applications. LAMINOVA OIL COOLERS are more efficient than the competition due to the unique patented core design. The BENEFITS finned exterior on the cooler core creates a larger surface area compared to that of traditional “radiator” style coolers. Due to the unique laminar oil flow, performances can be • High cooling efficiency compared to size • Laminar flow pattern for low pressure drop optimised especially for automatic transmissions and • High quality single-piece aluminium design CVT:s. The low oil-flow rate, passing the core, cools • Non soldering gives minimal leakage risks gearings and dampens noise levels. between media • Open design for low pressure drop on the Flexible mounting Laminova coolers can be mounted virtually anywhere. Traditional radiator style coolers must be exposed to airflow, risking damage. The coolers can be fitted both on the inner coolant side • Compact cylindrical design, easy to integrate and install • Solder-free connections full coolant flow or on a partial flow circuit. Efficient design Reduced ”warm-up” time The efficient design makes cooling core inspection easy The coolers also provide a heater function using the cooling with removable end caps. The solderless O-ring design water to heat the oil faster to correct operating temperature. ensures leak-free operation. No oil thermostat is needed. This will help increase the life of engines and transmissions. Typical applications are in cars, heavy-duty vehicles, airplanes and motorcycles. 6 7 8 Oil Coolers Material The cooler core is made of AA 1050, 99.5% aluminium. To meet low volume applications, prototypes and aftermarket applications, extruded aluminium profiles are used for the housing, holding the core. Installations in different applications Typical applications are in cars, heavy-duty vehicles, airplanes and motorcycles. Customisation The customised cast housing design, separated or integrated An example of a core integrated into a customer application. with other components, is a Laminova speciality. The assembly is performed without soldering. All connections are sealed with O-rings. Integration The core can effectively be integrated in other components. In high volume applications integration into oil filter cartridge or engine block is possible. This saves space, weight, joints and components as oil and water flow are routed directly into the core. The core can be delivered as a separate component, ready for installation. Laminova oil coolers are more efficient than the competition due to the unique patented core design. 9 Intercoolers FOR TURBO AND SUPERCHARGED PETROL AND DIESEL ENGINES Laminova heat exchangers are especially designed for intercoolers in turbo and supercharged petrol and diesel engines. The heat exchangers are compact, easy to install and more efficient than conventional coolers. LAMINOVA HEAT EXCHANGER SYSTEMS have Special core for charged engines unique designed cores for intercooler applications. We have special cores for air flow in charged engines.

Normally, a package of 2-4 cores is needed to meet specifications. Cores used are ø39.5 and ø45 mm.

Better torque, response and performance With intercooler cores installed, you achieve better torque, response and performance compared to those of conventional coolers. Laminova coolers are small, compact and circular. The compact core design makes it easy to install in the inlet manifold. 10 Environmental advantages The intercooler reduces hazardous emissions of nitrogen. The engine temperature becomes more even due to improved air distribution balance. Separate cooling circuit The air-to-liquid intercooler system needs a separate cooling circuit with a circulation pump and a separate radiator. Laminova also supplies intercooler housings for use in racing/aftermarket applications and as prototypes for test and evaluation. Laminova intercoolers in manifold connected with radiator.
