The new line of engine-oil coolers from Flex-A-Lite provides up to four times the heat rejection of typical low-cost coolers. These modern designs are efficient and offer the optimal performance you expect from Flex-A-Lite.

By itself, engine coolant isn’t enough to protect engine oil and internal components in harsh conditions. Designed for remote mounting, the 116323 Flex-A-Lite cooler uses turbulized fins inserted into internal cooling plates and louvered fins to transfer heat into the air. Its thick core minimizes oil-pressure drop through the cooler while maximizing heat transfer.

Comes mounted with a 6.5” electric fan and includes -8, -10, and -12 interchangeable AN fittings with O-rings. Measures 11” x 11” x 4.25” overall.

Features

  • Equipped for remote mounting
  • Comes with mounted 6.5” electric fan
  • Maximal heat transfer
  • Includes -8, -10, and -12 interchangeable AN fittings with O-rings
  • Dimensions: 11” x 11” x 4.25”

Use This Post Clip for Email

Thanks to Flex-A-Lite, better cooling is in sight for owners of 2003–2007 Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty pickups with 6.0L Power Stroke Turbodiesel engines. The 315360 system, which comes with dual electric fans, replaces the factory belt-driven clutch fan and shroud to deliver more engine power to the wheels and better fuel economy. It also allows for faster engine warm-up and improves A/C performance at idle and slow speeds.

The future of performance aluminum radiators includes a variable-speed, adjustable thermostatic controller, moves 6,000 cfm of airflow, and provides better heat transfer—all thanks to the extruded-tube design, which replaces outdated single-, two-, three-, and four-core configurations. The Flex-A-Lite 315360 radiator/fan combo achieves this performance along with more durability (100 psi burst rating) and less weight.

Applications (including LS swap) available for muscle cars, pickups, and Jeep. Also available without a fan (315300).

Features

  • Increased contact between coolant and aluminum tubes—and tubes and fins—for better heat rejection and cooling.
  • Redesigned cooling fins also contribute to improved heat rejection and cooling—wind tunnel tested!
  • 100 psi burst rating.
  • Corner subhead reinforces the cooling tube–to–header connection, an area prone to cracking and leaking in other brands of aluminum radiators.
  • Available with (315360) and without (315300) dual electric fans.
  • Warranty: 2-year transferrable.

Flex-A-Lite: LoBoy Flex-Wave Electric Fans

Bringing together its Flex-Wave electric fan blade and LoBoy 16” fan, Flex-A-Lite has achieved a brand-new, best-in-class fan assembly. The LoBoy Flex-Wave electric fan leverages the aerodynamic efficiencies of the patent-pending Flex-Wave design to move a class-leading 3,000 cfm of airflow—33% more than the leading competitor.

The Flex-Wave blade itself is so much more than just a different visual look. Its “sine-wave” profile creates leading edges that cut through the air first in a way that blades with solid, single lines cannot, creating more efficient air movement along with winglet tips that reduce air vortices. In addition, the waved surface provides channels for the air to move along, producing more airflow through the radiator and reducing energy loss. And finally, variations in the trailing blade edges reduce wind noise.

The Flex-A-Lite LoBoy Flex-Wave electric fan can be purchased as a puller (PN 238) or pusher (PN 239).

Features

  • 3,000 cfm airflow—33% more than the leading competitor.
  • Flex-Wave sine-wave blades improve air efficiency.
  • Winglet tips reduce air vortices.
  • Variations in trailing blade edges reduce wind noise.
  • Available as a puller fan (238) or pusher fan (239).

Bringing performance cooling to demanding engine applications—when engine coolant alone just isn’t enough to guard against wear and failure—the 700021 engine oil cooler from Flex-A-Lite provides four times the heat rejection of typical low-cost coolers thanks to turbulized and louvered fins that transmit more heat into the air. Acting in tandem is the 1.75” thick core, which minimizes oil pressure drop while maximizing heat transfer.

Flex-A-Lite engineered the 21-row, stacked-plate 700021 cooler to be mounted remotely and included a 6.5” electric fan and -8, -10, and -12 interchangeable AN fittings with O-rings.

Models

  • Performance cooling for demanding engine applications.
  • Mounts remotely and includes a 6.5” electric fan.
  • Four times the heat rejection of typical low-cost coolers.
  • Advanced fins and core in a 21-row, stacked-plate design.
  • Interchangeable -8, -10, and -12 AN fittings with O-rings included.
  • Measures 11” x 7.5” x 4.25”.

Flex-A-Lite: Wave Electric Fans

Producing 25% more airflow than comparable electric fans from other companies, the all-new Wave electric fan from Flex-A-Lite is also quieter and more efficient than traditional S- and straight-blade designs. The Flex-A-Lite team was able to engineer these benefits by using advanced computational fluid dynamics software to create the most aerodynamic profile possible and then testing it in a wind tunnel to verify results.

The performance is in the innovation. The newly engineered sine wave–shaped blade creates channels for the air to move along and reduces air vortices, while variations in the trailing edge reduce wind noise.

Three Sizes Available

  • P/N 236: 16” x 16.5” x 3.75” with 2,660 CFM
  • P/N 234:25” x 14.75” x 3.5” with 1,900 CFM
  • P/N 232: 12” x 13” x 3.5” with 1,325 CFM

Maradyne high-performance fans offers several efficient, universal thermostatic control options that provide automatic, temperature-based operation of the company’s quality universal electric cooling fan products as well as other fan brands.

To operate most single or dual electric radiator fans according to engine water temperature, Maradyne has developed three main wiring harness kit options, all featuring temperature switches and relays; heavy, 14-gauge wire harnesses; weatherproof fuses; and electrical connectors.  The first kit, MFA100, provides automatic fan operation with an adjustable range of 30 to 240 degrees. The MFA102 harness kit is designed with a 185-degree temperature switch, and MFA103 features a 195-degree temperature switch.

For vehicles operating air conditioning, Maradyne recommends the addition of MFA101, an A/C harness with relay kit. This supplemental kit is designed to operate the electric fan when the compressor clutch is engaged, and connects to the main harness to automatically turn the fan on for effective air conditioning performance. MFA101 includes heavy-gauge wire harness, relay, fuse, and electrical connections.

Maradyne’s Dual Fan Adapter kit MFA111 is designed for dual electric cooling fan applications. This kit integrates into MFA100, 102, or 103, with the addition of MFA101 when air conditioning is being used.
