Thermic fluid coolers are also known as thermal oil coolers, heat exchangers, or oil coolers. They are used to transfer heat from one fluid to another without the fluids directly mixing, often for cooling hydraulic oil or other industrial processes.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Thermal Oil Cooler:
This is a very common and direct synonym for thermic fluid coolers, emphasizing the use of thermal oil as the heat transfer fluid.
Heat Exchanger:
This is a broader term, but thermic fluid coolers fall under this category as they are devices that transfer heat between two fluids.
Oil Cooler:
This term is used when the device specifically cools a hydraulic oil or other oil-based fluid, a common application for thermic fluid coolers.
Hydraulic Oil Cooler:
This term specifically indicates the use of a thermic fluid cooler for cooling hydraulic oil.
Thermic Fluid Heater:
While this is a device that heats a thermic fluid, it can also be used to cool the fluid through a heat exchange process.
