Power steering coolers are designed by the OE manufacturer to perform a specific job that differs from vehicle to vehicle. These vehicle specific tolerances are what makes it so important to replace the power steering cooler with as close to an OE match as possible. The Edelmann Elite coolers are designed and built to the genuine OE specifications to ensure performance with exact form, fit, and function to that of the OE unit being replaced.
Turbulators churn the fluid and reduce the flow and pressure across the cooler. Without these turbulators, fluid is passing through the system before being properly cooled and pressures are increased over levels expected for the power steering pump. This device prevents further failures to the power steering system after a cooler replacement.
Single tube construction is used to prevent the need for additional joints or welds. This prevents leaks and maintains a constant pressure along the entire length of the cooler, allowing the steering system to continue functioning as expected at all times.
With the OE spec designs, we can provide ideal cooling performance vs our competitors who reduce or reshape the fins to match their redesigned products. Cooling fins additionally serve dual purpose to not only cool the fluid but protect the tubing from flying debris.
Exact match OE bracket designs are used to simplify the installation process. Other aftermarket coolers and some universals have varying designs that don’t allow for, or even prevent, installation in the manner designed by the OE. The Edelmann Elite® cooler mounts are designed to install in the exact way in which the OE cooler was removed. Additionally, this ensures that the cooler is positioned correctly to receive the prescribed amount of air flow over the surface of the cooler and without blocking other vehicle components.
Mounts are brazed and coated in place to prevent new failure modes being introduced.
Once the fins are placed and aligned on our single tube construction, the tube is forcefully expanded to hold the fins in place before being brazed and coated. This ensures a secure connection between the tube and the fins and makes the construction more durable.
In applications where the OE has not provided a power steering cooler, Plews & Edelmann® brings OE quality to a universal application. Equipped with sturdy, universal mounting brackets for expert and secure installation virtually anywhere needed, the Edelmann Elite® universal cooler offers a more confident option to the aftermarket.
The single tube design prevents leaks and ensures consistent flow while turbulators churn the fluid to maximize the cooling performance. Our cooler is E-coated after assembly to provide premium corrosion resistance and durability for long product life. Our cooler outperforms other similarly sized options in the aftermarket, ensuring optimal performance every time.
