Core Design

Proflow's universal intercooler units feature a high quality bar & plate construction, maximising heat transfer by increasing fin surface area to efficiently and effectively reduce intake temperatures. Many intercooler core designs usually consist of straight channel, low density fins in an aim to keep pressure drop low. In contrast, overly dense fins increase cooling effect but drastically increase pressure drop. 

Proflow's bar and plate fin design offers a balance of excellent cooling while limiting pressure drop across the core, preventing the turbocharger from working excessively harder. The end tank design promotes air flow across the whole core, further increasing the intercooler's cooling effect. Bar & plate cores are also great at holding off heat soak for extended durations.

The table shown below illustrates the balance between core style and fin density:
