Radiator Shop

Here’s some before & after pics of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger that came in. This heat exchanger is an oil cooler which is cooled by the engine coolant. This is referred to as a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger rather than an air-to-liquid unit. After we got it all cleaned up we gave it a rigorous pressure [...]

Here’s some pics of some of the jobs we have going on in the radiator shop. We have a Caterpillar 793C mining haul truck radiator going together. A good size aluminum oil cooler that came in for cleaning & repair. Another decent sized aluminum oil cooler getting the final details. A decent sized Mesabi radiator [...]

Here’s some pics of a Mesabi radiator for an electric shovel motivator power unit. There was a major oil leak which has caused a considerable build up of dirt externally on & in the fins of the Mesabi radiator tubes. In addition to the external plugging the rubber grommet seals are soft from the oil [...]

Here’s some pics of a radiator & intercooler stack, or cooling package, for a Caterpillar 6060 shovel. Both the radiator & the intercooler came in with leaks in the tubes of the cores. Our customer agreed with our recommendation to recore both the radiator & intercooler with new heavy duty cores. The tanks were cut [...]

The radiator itself is a Mesabi & it has seven hundred and sixty eight individual radiator tubes each of which were removed & reconditioned before being installed back into the radiator frame assembly with all [...]

Here’s some pics of a couple of aluminum coolers we picked up for an Atlas Copco, or Epiroc, drill rig for repair & return. The black cooler with the yellow fan shroud is an all aluminum CAC (charge air cooler) or aftercooler. The gray cooler is also all aluminum & it is an oil cooler. [...]

Here’s some pics of some radiator cores, or sections, for a Caterpillar 793C mining haul truck radiator we're in the process of rebuilding. These cores are Cat part number 2W5540 & the 793C Radiator takes sixty of these cores. Each section receives a rod & repair, much like the radiator out of your everyday vehicle [...]

Here’s some pics of an aluminum radiator off of a portable Miller welder. The radiator came in leaking with the end fins pulled away from the tube & core. We cleaned the radiator & prepped it for welding. After we got the leak welded & sealed up we reattached the end fins to the core. [...]

Here’s some pics of a Caterpillar 793F Mesabi Radiator cooling system module package we're on the downhill stretch of servicing. The radiator as well as both aftercoolers have pressure tested good. Next is to get all of the individual pieces & parts installed onto the radiator to get the complete cooling module assembled. 5435 Desert [...]

Here’s some pics of a couple of Ferrari radiators we rebuilt. One of the radiator cores had seen better days so we recommended recoring it with a new core. The other radiator was in decent shape for an overhaul, or rod & repair. Both radiators are all metal copper & brass. With one radiator overhauled [...]
