Types of Engine Oil Coolers Engine oil coolers can be generally classified into two types, such as oil-to-water and oil-to-air. Oil-To-Water Cooler In these types of oil coolers, the coolant passes through a heat exchanger element of some parts. The coolant is enabled either by adding heat to cold oil or drawing heat from excessively […]

The oil cooler absorbs heat, which is vital for engine cooling. Oil cooling uses engine oil as a coolant to remove excessive heat from internal combustion engines. Keeping engine components at their normal working temperatures improves performance and extends service life. Function Of an Engine Oil Cooler The oil cooler’s job is to maintain the...

An oil cooler  is designed to remove excessive heat from the oil used to lubricate vehicles, machinery and mechanical equipment. For example, a hot engine transfers heat to the oil which then circulates through a heat-exchanger (also known as an oil cooler), using either air or water to cool the oil. It achieves this by using a...

While oil coolers and radiators have similar functions, their key difference lies in the fluids they cool. Radiators manage coolant temperature, whereas oil coolers regulate engine oil temperature.  Both systems are important for maintaining engine health, but engine oil coolers provide added protection for high-performance or heavy-duty...

To keep your engine oil cooler functioning as it should, regular maintenance is critical. Here are a few tips to maintain efficiency: Inspect for leaks: Periodically check the oil cooler or its connections for leaks. Clean fins: For air-cooled systems, ensure the cooling fins remain clean and free from debris that could block...

Engine oil coolers aren’t just for racing enthusiasts. They’re potentially useful for any vehicle that experiences high-stress conditions. This includes, but isn’t limited to: Heavy-duty trucks: Trucks designed for industrial or commercial usage face prolonged heavy workloads. Oil coolers help these engines withstand consistent...

Types of Engine Oil Coolers  Choosing the best engine oil cooler depends on your vehicle’s needs and operating environment.  When deciding between these two kinds of oil coolers, consider the driving conditions, the workload your vehicle endures, and the longevity you hope to get from your engine

An engine oil cooler works as a heat exchanger. It circulates the engine oil through a series of passages or tubes, allowing the heat to dissipate as it does so. There are 2 main types of engine oil coolers: Air-cooled oil coolers: Air-cooled oil coolers rely on ambient air to dissipate heat They use the […]

An oil cooler works by transferring heat away from hot engine or hydraulic oil, using a cooling medium like air or water to lower the oil’s temperature. This process is essential for maintaining optimal operating temperatures and preventing damage to components due to overheating. Heat Transfer: Cooling Medium: A fan blows air over the...

Small oil coolers used in hydraulic systems are compact heat exchangers designed to remove excess heat from hydraulic fluid. They typically consist of a series of metal tubes or plates that provide a large surface area for efficient heat transfer. The hydraulic fluid flows through these tubes or plates, while a cooling medium, such as […]

Hydraulic oil coolers are devices used to regulate the temperature of hydraulic fluid in hydraulic systems. They help maintain optimal operating temperatures by dissipating heat generated during system operation.  Hydraulic oil coolers typically consist of a series of tubes or fins that increase the surface area for heat transfer. As the hot...

Straight Tube and Fixed Tube Sheet: Types BEM, AEM, NEN, etc • Less costly than removable bundle designs • Capable of multiple pass designs Limitations: • Shell side can only be cleaned by a chemical solution • No ability to absorb thermal expansion between the outer shell and tube bundle Removable Bundle and Externally Sealed […]

water-cooled surface condenser generally used in power stations to condense the exhaust steam from a steam turbine. There are many fabrication design variations possible depending on the manufacturer, the size of the steam turbine, and other site-specific conditions

There are two primary types of condensers that can be used in a power plant: (a) Direct contact (b) Surface Direct contact condensers condense the turbine exhaust steam by mixing it directly with cooling water. The older type Barometric and Jet type condensers operate on similar principles. Steam surface condensers are the most commonly used...

The basic principle is that the constant vaporization of a portion of the liquid in the reboiler produces a two-phase mixture with an average density lower than the liquid being fed to the reboiler. The heavier column of liquid on the reboiler inlet side then pushes the lighter material out of the reboiler causing circulation. […]

The amount and type of dissolved and/or suspended solids in the stream which may deposit on the tube wall.   The susceptibility to thermal decomposition which will form a thermal barrier on the tube walls.   The velocity of the fluid.   The temperature of the fluid   The fouling resistance specified for a particular […]

Typical overall heat transfer coefficients are given below. These “typical” heat transfer coefficients can be used to estimate the performance of a heat exchanger. Typical heat transfer coefficients are normally published as a range of an “all-in” numbers which includes the inside and outside heat transfer coefficients, the...

For heat exchanger sizing purposes, the cooling water inlet temperature is usually taken as the maximum summer temperature. However, the cooling water outlet temperature can be varied. Theoretically there is an optimum cooling water flow rate (and corresponding cooling water outlet temperature) for each exchanger design. Clearly, there is a maximum...

The first step in preparing a heat exchanger design is assembly of the required data. The minimum requirements for basic data are as follows: Process Fluid Design Flow Rates This is normally the maximum flow rate for the process fluid at full flowsheet rates. However, there may be temporary higher rates during start up or […]

The calculations carried out to design heat exchangers are far from exact. In fact Perry’s refers to the design of heat exchangers as being an art as much as a science. These days almost all heat exchanger designs are carried out using software specifically written for the purpose. The most accepted software used for heat […]

  Shell and tube exchangers can be designed for almost any service. All other exchanger types are compared to shell and tube.   Hairpin type exchangers are a good choice when one fluid is at a very high pressure.   Hairpin exchangers are a good choice when there is a large difference in temperature between […]

Air cooled heat exchangers use ambient air for cooling and condensing. They are typically used in locations where there is a shortage of cooling water. Air-cooled heat exchangers are usually used when the heat exchanger outlet temperature is at least 20°F above the maximum expected ambient air temperature. They can be designed for closer approach...
