Hydraulic drives and lubricating systems are indispensable in machine construction, raw material production, navigation and many other areas.
Both as a power transfer medium and lubricant, oil is heated by friction losses during operation.
Since the viscosity of the oil changes along with the temperature, precise temperature stabilisation using coolers is a vital requirement for systems and drives for consistent power. In addition to the unlimited supply of ambient air, water is also used as a coolant. The advantage of water is the low susceptibility to seasonal temperature fluctuations and large companies often use it as a central circulation coolant.
BWT plate heat exchangers are a particularly efficient solution in these cases. They are extremely compact, practically maintenance free and easy to install.
