Need one for an experiment, Do post here if you know any. Approximate price/Price from shops will also help :) (excluding the likes of import cars such as audi/merc/etc)

TIA,
Sunny.

Dont know about the price but you could get your hand on some Industrial Radiators not just automotive ones which could fit your requirement.

IIRC, my Jeep is running a copper radiator from Lawrence Radiators. Get in touch with them for your experiment. I'd say they are amongst the best in the business.

How is copper radiator going to help?

Copper is only a good conductor.
In order to get good heat dissipation via radiation - you need to paint the radiator black (which anyway is defaul color of all radiators).

My Sumo runs on copper radiators. Most trucks/LCVs use copper too.

My Amby has for a long time.

What experiment Sunny Boy ? :D

Sunny, just visit any scrap yard, most radiators avaialble with them would be copper. If required / suspicious, scrap some paint from top / bottom tank using a coin / key to check if the material is really copper.

Most of the radiators are aluminium. Infact all I found in the guj was Al rads.

I'll be using only copper parts in my loop. Addition of Aluminium will bring in heavy corrosion.

as I said before, I have lil size constraints. If I get some from the industrial background with the proper size, I'll go for it !

Corrosion or contamination? tripsi mfg? :-P

is this for a bike? :o

Hi, I think the TATA Sierra I POSSESS has a copper radiator...

Corrosion. Did not get the second part of your question :)
