Oil Cooler

Competition engines usually produce more power and rev higher then their standard equivalent and this can lead to the engine oil becoming too hot and not lubricating properly. The cure for this is to fit an oil coolers. Oil coolers come in a variety of different types with the most common being the air cooled ‘radiator’ type. In type of coolers are fitted usually at the front of the car so they can receive air flow through them, oil is passed through the cooler via external oil pipes which connect to the engines oil system. The radiator type of oil coolers are available in a range of sizes dependent on how much you need to cool the oil.
Water cooled oil coolers are also used and instead of relying on airflow, like the radiator type of oil cooler, they connect to the vehicles cooling system and use the coolant to keep the oil temperature down. This style of oil cooler is more compact in size and is more commonly used in vehicles where space is a premium.

oil coolers are Heat exchanger used to cool the dielectric oil in a transformer. The cooling medium is typically air or water. Transformer designers, rather than manufacture, drove the evolution of transformer oil coolers, so the approach or terminology is slightly different than typical Heat Exchangers applications.

oil air coolers are available in different material versions.

  • Galvanized Steel Version
    For more than 80 years, we have manufactured transformer oil air coolers of galvanized steel construction. The key component of this cooler type is the proven elliptical finned tube.
  • Copper / Aluminum Version
    Our coolers featuring aluminum or copper finplates in conjunction with copper tubes are a low-priced alternative to the galvanized steel cooler.
  • Aluminum Version
    This type of cooler is made entirely of aluminum.
