Secondary heat exchanger specification and technology

In Simple Terms

Secondary heat exchangers in F1 cars must be made of metal materials. The only exception is that seals and bonding agents used to hold them together can be made from other materials.

• Secondary heat exchangers must be constructed from metallic materials
• Sealing and bonding materials are exempt from the metallic requirement
• This ensures durability and performance standards for the cooling system
• Non-metallic components are only permitted for functional attachment purposes
