Brian you gave an excellent instruction of the various radiator designs, I saved your video for future reference when I replace my 1957 Chevy radiator.
This is the kind of videos that UA-cam lacks: The *BASIC* explanation videos about everyday matters that one would not think that would be important to know about. Thank you so very much for this precious lesson. Greetings from Portugal.
Crossflow radiators do a better job of shedding heat from the pipes to the fins because the pipes are longer and have more surface area and fin contact. Downflow radiators have shorter pipes and shed less heat, but they can handle higher volumes of coolant. You'll typically see crossflow radiators on passenger gas vehicles and downflow radiators used with diesel engines, especially on commercial vehicles or industrial equipment.
Good effort and good video. Im no professional, just know a little about alot😅. But the first quarter of the vid was a little..not quite correct. The coolant does not flow in the patterns you described for a 2 row or more radiator. The coolant only flows one way across (or down) no matter how many tubes, it doesn't flow back and forth. That's that part, as far as the rest and more rows and larger or smaller rows..thats the big lifelong question for me and many other's. Im trying to figure that out still myself thats why im watching videos😅. Im thinking about getting a 3 row full aluminum to replace my single row stock radiator that just broke. Both are the same width core pretty much (3 row is maybe .05 wider). People say a 2 row is better then a 3 and vice versa. Im wondering is a 3 better then a 1 or is it about the same. Im now realizing radiator debates are like motor oil debates lol. So many different opinions and both make since.
Major error here. Thicker radiators do not necessarily cool better, big newbie mistake. The radiator may be so thick that by the time the air reaches rear, the air is so hot it can't transfer any more heat. Is this another example of men's preoccupation with size?😁
I don't complement often but when I do I mean it. Excellent video. Concise, thorough and clear. Molto bene!
This was INCREDIBLY helpful thank you.

Good video
Cross flow are better, cools better cause coolant stay longer... As Down flow stay less time in the radiator
What's your favourite radiator's brand ?.
Hi which thiknes more than 4cm is avalebel and how it s made plz detail i have a old chevy v8 350 and i need to now how i choice
i order 2 rows ryt now in my honda civic 2004 dimension..how much liters of coolant can consume in 2 rows radiator??

I thought the coolant went through the fins too, until I watched this video.
Black water won’t dissipate heat too? 🤣
