Refrigerated Hydraulic Oil Chilling Systems

Sophisticated multi tasking machines of today employ numerous hydraulic operations to achieve high productivity at desired quality levels. Hydraulic systems in turn employ special and specific oil with a wide viscosity range. These hydraulic oils stores heat during its operation and the continuous addition of heat reduces the viscosity of these oils. As the oil thins down, the hydraulic system starts to malfunction due to internal leaks. Therefore it becomes essential to maintain specified temperature limits for this oil during operation. A hydraulic oil chiller is normally connected in parallel to the oil tank through a dedicated built in pump.

These chillers are complete systems fitted with refrigeration components including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, refrigeration pipes, oil pump and electric panel. Chillers help maintain the oil temperature to precise temperature levels which in turn maintains uniform physical and chemical properties of the oil in operation. THIS LEVEL OF precise temperature control of fluids is not possible by any other method of cooling. Critical industrial hydraulics have special needs beyond mere cooling such as year round operation, precise temperature regulated and a lean circulating loop: which is only possible with equipment matched, factory tested oil chillers.
