Oil Cooler for Drive Gearbox System
Time :2025-12-05

The Oil Cooler for Drive Gearbox System is a purpose-engineered heat-exchange unit designed to ensure stable lubrication oil temperature in high-duty gearbox applications. This cooler provides reliable and continuous thermal control for drive gearbox lubrication circuits operating under elevated temperatures and pressures.


Built with CuNi 90/10 (CuNi10) tube material, the cooler delivers exceptional corrosion resistance, mechanical durability, and long-term performance—particularly important in marine, offshore, and industrial environments where lubrication reliability directly affects gearbox lifespan.

Service

  • Lubricating Oil Cooling
    The oil cooler maintains the viscosity, stability, and lubrication quality of gearbox oil by dissipating excess heat generated from mechanical friction within the drive gearbox.

Function

  • Thermal Protection: Prevents oil breakdown at high temperature.

  • Lubrication Stability: Ensures proper oil film thickness on gear surfaces.

  • System Reliability: Protects bearings, gears, and seals from thermal stress.

  • Continuous Operation: Allows the gearbox to operate safely under heavy loads and high-speed conditions.

Application (FFT / Application)

  • Drive Gearbox Lubrication Oil System
    Used in continuous industrial gear drives, power transmission systems, marine propulsion gearboxes, offshore machinery, and heavy mechanical equipment.

Key Features

  • Robust shell-and-tube / coiled-tube heat transfer design
    Ensures effective cooling even with high-viscosity lubrication oils.

  • Corrosion-resistant CuNi 90/10 tube bundle
    Ideal for marine and offshore gearbox environments.

  • High temperature capability (up to 150°C)
    Prevents thermal degradation of oil and ensures consistent gearbox performance.

  • High design pressure (25 bar)
    Withstands demanding lubrication oil pressures without risk of deformation or leakage.

  • Compact footprint (WT-LOK variant)
    Suitable for confined installations or retrofit upgrades.


The CuNi 90/10 Oil Cooler for Drive Gearbox Systems is engineered to meet demanding service conditions. Its durable construction and efficient heat-transfer performance make it a critical component in any heavy-duty gearbox lubrication oil system.
