The oil cooler is placed in the cooling water circuit and uses the temperature of the cooling water to control the temperature of the lubricating oil. When the temperature of lubricating oil is high, it relies on cooling water to cool down, and when the engine starts, it absorbs heat from cooling water to make lubricating oil raise temperature rapidly.

The oil cooler is placed in the cooling water circuit and uses the temperature of the cooling water to control the temperature of the lubricating oil. When the temperature of lubricating oil is high, it relies on cooling water to cool down, and when the engine starts, it absorbs heat from cooling water to make lubricating oil raise temperature rapidly. The oil cooler is composed of aluminum alloy cast shell, front cover, back cover and copper core tube. In order to strengthen the cooling, the outside of the tube and set of heat sink. The cooling water flows outside the tube, and the lubricating oil flows inside the tube, and the two exchange heat. There is also a structure that makes oil flow outside the tube and water flow inside the tube.

Air-cooled oil cooler

The core of air-cooled oil cooler is composed of many cooling tubes and cooling plates, and the hot oil cooler core is cooled by the head-on wind of the car when the car is running. The air-cooled oil cooler requires good ventilation around it, and it is difficult to ensure sufficient ventilation space in ordinary cars, so it is generally seldom used. Most of this cooler is used in racing cars because of the high speed of racing cars and the large amount of cooling air.
