Multi-chamber aluminium extrusions for brazed radiators
A new type of Multi-Port Extrusion (MPE) tubing is entering the application area of brazed radiators that has
been dominated by welded and folded tubes - usually made in house of cladded tube stock. The novelty was
brought to market by Hydro with VW as the first customer. This type of MPE tube is extruded with a
combination of wide chambers and a thin wall thickness and to combine it with clad fin in the radiator.
Customers directly benefit by saving investment costs and risk, since they buy finished tubes. This type of MPE tube compared with traditional MPE's allows for thinner walls, meaning lower weight and
better heat transfer.
The extruded tubes are robust against dynamic pressure pulsations in the engine cooling circuit. In addition, using this extruded radiator MPE tube eliminates any leak risk in welded or folded zones.

Last november was a memorable month for us at Matbase, we passed the milestone of 1000 visitors per day. So I guess we were not that far of when we thought it would be a good idea to make the material database we used as students during our stay at the Delft University of Technology accessable to other people. Apparently, people appreciate the easy way they can lookup the material properties and how we present the data.
