WHIPPLE CUPRONICKEL INFORMATION
Whipple Cupronickel intercooler cores are the most
advanced, heavy duty marine air-charge coolers on
the market today. While others use aluminum
intercooler cores, Whipple is the only company
that utilizes the patent technology of the
cupronickel intercooler, a Whipple exclusive.
Whipple’s cupronickel, pronounced koo•pro•nik•el,
is a space age technology that utilizes a unique
blend of pure copper alloy air fins for increased
thermal efficiency over aluminum and cupronickel
water passages for maximum corrosion resistance.
Some utilize “chromacoat” or anodized cores, which
will still corrode over time, only cupronickel
will last in the brackish lake waters and ocean
salt water because of it’s electronegativity is
adjusted to neutral with regard to seawater.
Whipple cupronickel intercoolers can not only
withstand salt water, but it has a melting point
of over 2000deg F, has large water passages to
allow less chances of clogging, comes with billet
tanks and tig welded construction. Whether it’s
race or pleasure, there is no comparing any other
intercooler to the Whipple Coolers, although it’s
rare alloy is more expensive, it’s far worth the
expense
