Serck Engine Cooling

History

Established by Oscar Serck in 1907, the company opened the UK's first honeycomb automotive radiator plant in the same year. Serck soon became the UK's largest manufacturer of aircraft radiators and marine diesel cooling systems and continues to be at the forefront of technological advance and development in its specialist field.

Design

Serck Engine Cooling makes use of the latest in 3D CAD design systems and thermal sizing techniques in the development of its heat exchange products.

This is combined with the use of comprehensive in-house test facilities, such as thermodynamic wind tunnel, shake and pressure rigs, to ensure products are fully compliant with all demands placed on them.
