Radiator Testing
Young Calibration’s Radiator Calorimetric Test Facility
offers thermal performance characterisation for automotive,
marine and industrial heat exchangers worldwide. Although
the facility is predominantly aimed at the passenger car
market, the wind tunnel and plant can cover low temperature/
low flow coolers, high performance passenger cars and up
to medium-size truck installations.
Laboratory Facilities
Extensive capabilities exist within the laboratory to cover
radiators, cab heaters, low temperature radiators and industrial
coolers.

At Young Calibration we use our calorimetric test facility to undertake radiator
testing. The facility is focused more towards passenger
car systems although we are able to conduct radiator
testing for medium size trucks. Once testing is completed
a full report will be drawn up from the results in tabular
& graphic formats.
There are a selection of industries, including formula
1& NASCAR, who benefit from Young Calibration's calorimetric
testing services.
