THE LAMINOVA HEAT EXCHANGERS
Laminova heat exchangers provide outstanding engine and transmission oil temperature control in the most severe conditions. From high performance racing cars to Paris-Dakar rally
cars, you can rely on Laminova.

Cores
THE HEART OF HEAT EXCHANGERS
The core is the heart of the heat exchanger. 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

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%.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
