I stand corrected. That's what I get from trying to remember what I've
read from aluminum radiator manufacturers web pages and such without a
proper cup of coffee. LOL!

Funny... my Machinerys Handbook claims that Copper transmits about
double the
heat in Btu/sec that Aluminum does... .00404Btu/sec for Copper and
.00203
Btu/sec for aluminum. The reason aluminum radiators tend to work
better
isn't because aluminum transfers heat better,but due to being able to
make
the tubes larger and/or thinner in aluminum than copper.
