Oil Cooler is a Type of Heat Exchanging Device used to cool the hot in oil in industry.The main type of oil coolers are water cooled oil cooled and air cooled oil cooler, most effective and efficient oil cooler is water cooled oil cooler. It is also called shell and tube oil cooler.
Let us discuss about shell and tube oil cooler.Shell and tube oil cooler is also called Water oil cooler, tube oil cooler and pipe oil cooler.In the more no of tubes will be fixed inside the main pipe called shell and both sides tubes will be fixed with tube plate.Hot oil will be passed inside the shell or outside the tubes and cooling water will be passed inside the tube.
Cooling water will absorb the heat from hot oil and water become hot, hot water is cooled by Cooling tower water or chiller water.
