That's rich.

It isn't that they won't release it, it is likely they do not know what they're talking about.

A lot of these people, even the "chinese" manufacturers are actually trading firms. They simply go to their local supplier, normally with a sample of our rad, and tell them they want this done at this price.

I've seen one too many emails with claims saying "Better than the Black Ice blah blah blah" but doesn't really show any metrics and testing parameters.

We've long mentioned that its easy to design a heat exchanger to just "one up" a sample by changing a few parameters.

Referring back to an earlier post, radiator engineers are a very cautious and over-qualifying lot when presenting information about radiator performance.
