Which Air Cooled Oil Coolers Should be used for Vacuum Pump Oil Cooling?

 

Air cooled fluid coolers can be used to make an offline cooling circuit to cool a large variety of equipment’s, increase their efficiency & optimize their energy consumption. An offline oil cooling circuit has been regarded as an effective technique to cool fluids. Offline systems also called kidney loops, work by using a pump to draw fluid from the equipment’s reservoir, circulate the fluid through an air cooled oil cooler, and returning the cool fluid back to a reservoir. High temperatures can quickly degrade fluids and at times even produce byproducts that become particulate contamination in the fluid. Incorporating a filter in the circuit may also reduce the contaminants in the fluid.Read More

How hot is “HOT OIL”?

The question that I have been asked over and over again by participants in training session & customers is – How hot is “HOT OIL”, in a hydraulic system?

The heat production is due to inefficiencies in system. Though most of the energy consumed by a machine is used to do useful work, a part of the energy gets converted into heat. If the rate of heat buildup is larger than the heat dissipation capacity to the ambient air by natural radiation, the oil will start heating up. If this heat is not managed properly, the temperature of the oil & the equipment keeps increasing till it overheats, causing irreparable damage, which in turn reduces the efficiency further. The end result is increased power consumption, reduced equipment life, break downs & increased maintenance cost.Read More
