The following matters should be noted in the use of the oil cooler.

 

1.Check the oil cooler and the system coupling to be tight, and check all accessories and observation instruments.

2.Before using the oil cooler, to exhaust treatment, loosen the front cover (or back cover) and the screw plug on the shell, slowly pass into the water and oil, when the screw plug has water or oil overflow, respectively, and then tighten the screw plug.

3.Pass in the cold medium water first, then add the hot medium oil, otherwise it will produce thermal stress.

4.The water should be added slowly, do not put in a large amount of cooling water, so as not to form a "super-cooled layer" in the tube and reduce the heat transfer effect.

5.Adjust the cooling water intake to maintain the required temperature of the oil.

6.The oil side pressure must be greater than the water side pressure.

Special pressure-bearing equipment generally bears internal pressure, that will cause tensile stress inside the shell, which is called working stress. The working stress is directly proportional to the pressure and diameter, and inversely proportional to the vessel wall thickness. The axial stress is half of the circumferential stress. Therefore, for cylindrical vessels, the stress of longitudinal weld is twice that of girth weld. Because the geometric shape of the spherical shell is symmetrical to the spherical center, and the axial stress is equal to the circumferential stress in numerical value. Therefore, the wall thickness of the spherical vessel can be reduced by half as much as that of the cylindrical vessel under the same pressure and diameter.
