Oil Cooler

A lube oil cooler is required to remove heat from the frame lube oil. When sizing an oil cooler, consider temperature and flow rate of both cooling medium and lube oil. Insufficient cooling water flow rate is the primary cause of high oil temperatures. Mount cooler as close to the compressor as possible with piping of adequate size to minimize pressure drop of both lube oil and cooling medium.

The Application Manual lists required cooling water temperature and flow rate to properly cool oil with Ariel supplied coolers. The Ariel Performance Program lists oil heat rejection data for each frame in the frame details section (contact Ariel for details).
