Radium Coolant Tank - Universal
$309.95
SKU

Coolant expansion tanks are necessary for proper air bleeding in applications that utilize a rear mounted radiator or a low mounted radiator such as a V-Mount. However, expansion tanks are also valuable if integrated in a common radiator setup. To allow heat expansion, traditional coolant systems require air to be present in the top portion of the radiator during low temperatures. A coolant expansion tank permits the radiator to be 100% filled with coolant in all conditions.
The Radium Coolant Expansion Tank holds 750mL. It is a 2-piece design constructed of CNC billet 6061 aluminum. The two halves (shown below) are bolted together along with a CNC billet aluminum radiator neck which accepts a standard 32mm "Mini" style pressure cap. The radiator cap must have a Type-A seal as shown HERE.
The coolant expansion tank features two internal chambers. These chambers are NOT isolated from each other. There is cross-over passages at the top and bottom. This product is not a coolant overflow tank. Instead, it is designed to part of the pressurized coolant system.
The Radium Engineering coolant header tank also has an internal swirl feature, as shown. Hot pressurized coolant from the cylinder head is sent into the vortex chamber's inlet tangentially and accelerated to a high rate of rotation. This is to help aid in de-aerating the system.
The coolant tank has the following ports
- 6AN ORB port at the top/side. This is the inlet for incoming hot water.
- 10AN ORB bottom port directly under inlet. This is the outlet for outgoing water upstream of the water pump
- 10AN ORB bottom port under the cap. This is used for an air bleed port
- Barbed fitting at cap. This is your overflow/purge port
