Material of Construction for Lube Oil Coolers is as follows Shell: Carbon Steel, SA106 Gr.B, IS 3589 ERW, SS 304 or SS 316 Tubes: SS 304, SS 316, Admiralty Brass, Copper, CuNi 90/10, CuNi 70/30 Tube sheet: IS 2062 Gr.B, SA 516 Gr.70, Naval Brass, AB-2, SS 304, SS 316 Baffles: Brass, Carbon Steel, SS […]

shell and tube heat exchangers offer various benefits such as versatility, durability, compact size, and cost-effectiveness. As a result, these heat exchangers are widely used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, food and beverage, and power generation

An oil cooler is a separate, smaller radiator to an engine’s main radiator, which maintains an oil supply at a consistent, optimal temperature. Its purpose is to cool the oil passing through the coils, thus improving the engine and the transmission’s lifetime. They are situated in front of an engine’s cooling system.

The three most common types of shell-and-tube exchangers are (1) fixed tube sheet design, (2) U-tube design, and  (3) floating-head type.    In all three types, the front-end head is stationary while the rear-end head can be either stationary or floating , depending on the thermal stresses in the shell, tube, or tube sheet, due...

 A heat exchanger consists of heat transfer elements such as a core or matrix containing the heat transfer surface, and fluid distribution elements such as headers, manifolds, tanks, inlet and outlet nozzles or pipes, or seals. Usually, there are no moving parts in a heat exchanger; however, there are exceptions, such as a rotary regenerative...
