5 mm Radiators

The latest technology offering even more efficient cooling

Nissens is the first manufacturer in Europe to offer radiators produced in-house based on the latest 5 mm technology, thus meeting the need to combine a larger cooling efficiency with a significantly reduced need for space for the cooling unit.



What does 5 mm mean?

Originally, the 5 mm technology was introduced and applied in a selection of popular Japanese cars, e.g. Mazda, Suzuki and Toyota. Today, the European market potential is also growing, and the number of new cars equipped with the 5 mm cooling technology develops rapidly. The 5 mm term indicates that the spaces between the tubes in the radiator core are 5 mm. Until recently, the majority of aluminum radiators for cars were made with 10 mm tube distance. The remarkable distance reduction in 5 mm radiators generates a number of interesting benefits in comparison to the standard systems of 10 mm:
 
Better cooling performance

Reduction in cooling unit size; mainly in thickness in terms of less rows, but also in width and height

Lower weight

New Nissens models available in 5 mm

Our commitment to offer the widest product range in the aftermarket means that more and more Nissens products apply the 5 mm technology. Today, radiators building upon the 5 mm technology comprise a full coverage of 35 OE numbers within 44 car models.
