Question in my mind....several members have reported cooling improvements when installing a new aluminum radiator, yet, the thermal conductivity of copper (and probably brass, being an alloy of copper) is about twice as good.
Could it be the previous rad was clogged, the new rad has larger tubes for better flow, more surface area, etc.
If the claim is true, I would think the improvement would be one of the above. Any thoughts?
I wonder if anyone has done a A/B comparison using rads with similar dimensions/construction?
