Dry Cooler for Oil Immersion Cooling with A Plate Heat Exchanger

A dry cooler & plate heat exchanger for oil immersion cooling is a system used for cooling applications where oil is used as the cooling medium.

Here's a breakdown of the components and how they work together:

Components:

Dry Cooler: The dry cooler is the main component that removes heat from the oil. It consists of a system of coils through which air is blown to dissipate heat. The oil flows through these coils, transferring its heat to the passing air.

Plate Heat Exchanger: This component is responsible for transferring the heat from the oil to the air in the dry cooler. It consists of a series of plates that allow for efficient heat transfer between the two mediums without them coming into direct contact.

Pumps: Pumps are used to circulate the oil through the system. They ensure a steady flow of oil, which is crucial for efficient heat transfer.

Fans: Fans are mounted on the dry cooler to blow air across the coils. This airflow facilitates the heat exchange process by carrying away the heat from the oil.

How it Works:

Oil Circulation: The oil to be cooled is pumped from the system through the plate heat exchanger. As it flows through the heat exchanger, it comes into contact with the plates. The plates have a large surface area, which allows for efficient heat transfer between the oil and the plates.

Heat Transfer: Simultaneously, the dry cooler pulls in ambient air using its fans. This air passes over the coils where the plates are located. The heat from the oil transfers to the plates, and then to the air passing over them.

Cooling: The heat transfer causes the oil to lose its heat to the air, effectively cooling it down. The now cooled oil is then circulated back into the system to absorb more heat.

Discharge of Heat: The air, now heated by absorbing the oil's heat, is discharged out of the dry cooler. This process continues as long as the system is running, maintaining the desired temperature of the oil.
