Description

The operating principle of an oil cooler is relatively simple: hot oil circulates through a set of tubes inside the cooler. Simultaneously, a flow of cold water circulates around the outside of these tubes. As the hot oil comes into contact with the cooler tubes, heat transfer occurs, resulting in a decrease in oil temperature.

Key Components of an Oil Cooler:

– Shell: Contains the tubes through which the oil circulates and provides structural support.
– Tubes: Through which the oil circulates. They can be made of copper, stainless steel, or other corrosion- and heat-resistant materials.
– Plates: Increase the contact surface area between the oil and water, improving heat transfer efficiency.
– Connections: Allow the oil and water to enter and exit.
