Maintenance methods to improve the life of oil cooler equipment

The oil cooler, also known as the oil cooler, is designed on the principle of the refrigeration system and is roughly the same as the water chiller, except that there are differences in the medium and structure.

The oil cooler can be used to cool CNC machine tools, grinding machines, machining centers, boring machine equipment, combination machine tools and various precision machine tool spindle lubricating oil and cooling of hydraulic transmission media. It can accurately control the oil temperature, effectively reduce the thermal deformation of machine tools, and improve The machining accuracy of the machine tool.

How to improve the service life of oil cooler equipment 

1. Turn on the oil cooler. From March to November every year, the operator is required to turn on the oil cooler in time to ensure the normal operation of the equipment, and it is stipulated that the oil cooler should be turned on when the equipment starts every shift.

2. Observation of the oil cooler. The oil cooler is set to a certain cooling temperature value. When operating the equipment, the operator needs to pay attention to the displayed value of the oil temperature. When the oil temperature is higher than the set value for a long time, it is necessary to report the situation to the maintenance in time.

3. Clean the fuel tank. The oil cooler has been running for about 2 weeks, and the oil drain port of the fuel tank should be opened to drain the oil to remove the water that has entered the bottom of the tank sink. The cooling coil of the LO-C unit should be cleaned regularly to prevent the cooling capacity from decreasing. When cleaning, avoid damage to the cooling coil, and at the same time, clean the bottom of the oil tank completely.

4. Clean the air filter. Clean the air filter every two weeks (or at least once a week in harsh environments). When cleaning, remove the filter first, and remove the dust with a vacuum cleaner or air spray gun. When the dirt is serious, use warm water and neutral detergent with a temperature not exceeding 40°C to clean the air filter. After cleaning, it should be air-dried, and then put it back to the original place.

5. Regular inspection. According to the cleanliness of the oil, check and clean the oil suction filter regularly to prevent dirt from clogging.

6. Clean the surface of the unit. When the surface of the unit is dirty, use neutral detergent or high-quality soapy water to wipe it with a soft cloth. Be careful not to use petroleum, acid solvents, abrasive powder, steel brushes and sandpaper, etc., to prevent damage to the sprayed surface.

7. Check before reuse. After long-term re-use or use for a long period of time, check whether the heat exchanger of the oil cooler is blocked by dust and dirt. The surface should be cleaned with dry compressed air, a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush if necessary. Be careful not to damage the heat exchanger fins while doing this work.
