SETRAB: High-Performance Cooling Engineered in Sweden
Heat is the silent killer of performance. When oil temperatures rise, the protective film breaks down, leading to increased friction and mechanical failure. For over half a century, SETRAB has been at the forefront of thermal management, providing aluminum oil coolers for top-tier automotive manufacturers like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Mercedes-AMG. ATOMIC-SHOP Ukraine is an official distributor, bringing professional-grade cooling solutions to your high-performance street or track build.
In the high-stakes environment of motorsport, SETRAB ProLine coolers are the industry standard. Whether you are battling the summer heat at the Chayka Autodrome or pushing your limits on the highway, SETRAB ensures your engine and transmission remain within the optimal temperature window. At ATOMIC-SHOP, we specialize in configuring complete cooling systems that integrate seamlessly with your vehicle’s oiling circuit.

FAQ: ATOMIC-SHOP Insights on SETRAB Cooling
How do I choose the right number of rows?
The size of the cooler depends on the engine displacement and the intended use. For steering or differential cooling, a 7-10 row unit is usually sufficient. For high-boost turbocharged engines, ATOMIC-SHOP recommends 19-row units or larger. Our technical team can help you balance cooling capacity with available space in your bumper or wheel arch.
What is a Fan Pack, and do I need one?
A Fan Pack is a pre-assembled kit featuring a SETRAB cooler and a high-performance Spal fan. These are essential for drift cars or vehicles that spend time in stationary traffic where natural airflow is limited. By adding a fan, you ensure consistent cooling regardless of vehicle speed. ATOMIC-SHOP stocks a variety of Fan Pack sizes for immediate delivery.
Are SETRAB coolers compatible with synthetic oils?
Yes, they are compatible with all types of engine oil, transmission fluid, and gear oil. The internal brazing process ensures there is no contamination, and the materials are resistant to the chemicals found in modern synthetic lubricants. When you buy from ATOMIC-SHOP, you are investing in a lifetime cooling solution.
