Transmission Cooling Problem And Example Of Tube And Fin Versus Stacked Magnum willys. 881 posts · joined 2003. #8 · sep 1, 2005. i believe most stacked plate coolers are rated around 100 psi while tube coolers are around 300 or so. if the return lines from your stacked plate cooler are not large enough or restricted you could exceed the 100 psi during startup and cool weather conditions. Some say tube n' fin => don't clog, cheap, but ineffecient. some say stacked plate => strong, lpd, effecient, but can clog. some say setrab => $$$$. i will run a fan with mine. i have a small 13" rad fan from a toyota car that i want to rig up to a 11 to 14" square cooler. what is everyones opinion and why?.
Stacked Plate Vs Tube Fin Coolers Pirate 4x4 The bent passages for ps fluid in a tube fin type cooler would better for keeping the flow for going laminar, since the bends will increase turbulence. you will also have more area for heat transfer from the ps fluid to the air, since the tube will likely be longer. thats my .02. The smaller cooling fins surround the tube and help dissipate heat buildup, but they are not as effective at cooling the oil because their surface area isn't big. a stacked plate oil cooler, on. 3. stacked plate exchangers are usually, but not always, more efficient that tube fin exchangers of equal size (given similar environmental conditions). this is because of the biot number. 4. generally, flow is more important than pressure since the fluid exiting the hx just dumps into the pan. For the most effective results, you will need to choose a cooler that works for your vehicle. there are four different types of transmission coolers; tube and fin coolers, plate and fin, stacked plate, and heat sink transmission coolers. each of which has their own set of benefits compared to the others.

This effect draws heat from the atf. tube and fin coolers are inexpensive and easy to build. the other type of cooler that is available is the “stacked plate” design. this cooler is laid out in much the same manner as the radiator in your car. rather than using a tube to carry the atf inside the cooler, the fins actually form the passage.
