Engine oil cooler of diesel generators

During the operation of diesel generator set, the oil absorbs a certain amount of heat when it flows through the friction surface of moving parts. With the reciprocating cycle of the oil, the oil temperature will gradually increase. If the oil temperature exceeds the specified value, the viscosity of the oil will be seriously reduced and the lubricating effect will be lost. At the same time, the oil will be oxidized and deteriorated. Therefore, oil cooling device must be installed in the lubricating oil circuit of diesel engine. 1.The function of oil cooler The function of the oil cooler is to cool the lubricating oil and keep the oil temperature in the most favorable temperature range (80 ~ 105 ℃). The lubricating oil absorbs a lot of heat when it works in the high temperature zone of diesel engine, at the same time, lubricating oil can cool the piston as cooling medium. Therefore, temperature of lubricating oil will increase, and the viscosity of lubricating oil decreases and it is e...
