Oil Cooler Oil Pressure Differential (Air-Cooled Radiator)
- Check differential across oil system by
measuring oil inlet pressure as described above.
Oil Cooler Oil Pressure Differential (Water-Cooled Heat Exchanger)
– 2 psid to 25 psid (.1 bar to 1.7
bar) (65 psig to 150 psig, 4.5 bar to 10.3 bar receiver pressure) - Check that oil inlet pressure is correct or
measure the differential between drains on the oil cooler shell.
Oil Cooler Temperature Differential (Air-Cooled Radiator)
- The oil temperature differential depends on
the temperature of the air at the oil cooler fan and cleanliness of core faces. As ambient temperatures and
core restrictions increase, the oil cooler outlet temperature will increase. The oil inlet temperature is
approximately the same as air discharge temperature - see the gauge on the instrument panel. The outlet
oil temperature may be checked by installing a tee at the oil filter outlet.
Oil Cooler Temperature Differential (Water-Cooled Heat Exchanger)
- The oil temperature differential
depends on the inlet water temperature and the water flow rate permitted by the water flow control valve
setting. The oil inlet temperature is approximately the same as the air discharge temperature - see the
gauge on the instrument panel. The oil outlet temperature may be checked by installing a tee at the oil filter
outlet.
Oil Cooler Water Pressure Differential (Water-Cooled Heat Exchanger)
- The water pressure differential
through the heat exchanger will depend on the supply pressure, flow rate, cooler tube cleanliness and outlet
pressure. The inlet and outlet water pressure may be checked at the pipe fittings supplied by the customer.
