Fan Oil Coolers

Fan oil coolers do not require the use of an extra fluid other than air and oil, they use air as a fluid. It takes up much less space than other heat exchangers. Since it is less costly than other installation equipment, the heat transfer cost is also less. In places where it is difficult to use fan oil coolers, gasketed plate heat exchangers, brazed heat exchangers and tube heat exchangers are used.

FAN OIL COOLER PARTS

The components of an air oil cooler may vary depending on the specific design and application, but in general the following items are used. includes:

1. Fins and Tubes: The fins on the tubes of a fan oil cooler play an important role in improving heat transfer efficiency. These fins are designed as thin, protruding structures attached to the outer surface of the tubes through which the oil flows. Finned tubes direct the flow of air over the heat exchanger and ensure efficient heat distribution. Thus, it helps optimize cooling performance.
2. Fan(s): Fans are used to move air through the heat exchanger and increase the cooling process. They are usually electrically powered and can be mounted directly on the heatsink or mounted remotely, depending on the design.
3. Motor and Drive Unit: There is a motor and drive unit to drive the fans. This may be an integral part of the cooler or a separate unit depending on the design.
4.  Mounting Brackets or Feet: These components provide a means to securely mount the air oil cooler to the machine or cooling structures. Mounting brackets or feet are designed to ensure stability and correct positioning.
5. Inlet and Outlet Connections: Ports are essential for the inlet and outlet of oil. These connections allow oil to flow into the heat exchanger and facilitate the cooling process.
6. Temperature Control Devices (Thermostats): Fan oil coolers include temperature control devices such as thermostats or control valves to regulate the flow of oil or adjust cooling capacity depending on operating conditions.
7. Protective Grilles, Frame or Case: Designed to prevent foreign objects, debris, or undesirable materials from entering the fan oil cooler. It prevents potential damage to the heat exchanger or fans.

The specific design and features of an air oil cooler may vary depending on factors such as the application, cooling requirements, and the type of machinery it is designed to cool.
