Lube Oil Cooling Systems & Oil Cooler

Many processes such as power-generating turbines use lube oil to reduce the friction between moving mechanical parts and carry heat generated by those components away from the system.

How does a Lube Oil Cooler work?

The lube oil must be cooled to maintain an optimum oil temperature such that the oil does not break down and continues to prevent damage to the mechanical parts. The oil must be kept clean throughout the process to ensure proper operation of the moving parts so the lube oil coolers are flushed to a stringent cleaning specification defined by API-614 before leaving our factory.

Because oils are more viscous than other fluids, our Lube Oil Cooler uses turbulators inside the tubes to turn the oil which breaks down the fluid boundary layer at the tube wall. The result allows the fluid to have more contact with the tube surface and transfers more heat to the fins which is dissipated to the air blowing over the fins.

Key Features

• Proprietary Swirflow technology provides as much a 50% reduction in overall size and weight.

• All products can be designed to ASME Code.

• Products can be designed to meet API-661 requirements.

• Lube Oil Coolers flushed to API-614 when specified.
