Transformer Oil Cooler Working Principle

Transformer Oil Cooler Working Principle

Transformer oil cooler is a device used to reduce the temperature of transformer oil. It does this by circulating transformer oil through the cooler and exchanging heat with air. Here are some key points about transformer oil coolers:

Principle of operation

Heat exchange: Transformer oil flows through the piping of the cooler, air flows through the outside of the cooler, and heat exchange takes place between the oil and the air to reduce the temperature of the oil.

Circulation system: usually equipped with a pump to ensure the oil circulates and flows to improve cooling efficiency.

Main components

Cooling ducts: responsible for conducting the transformer oil.

Fans: used to increase air flow and enhance the cooling effect.

Enclosure: protects the internal components and provides access to air circulation.

Application Scenario

Power industry: Widely used in the cooling of power transformers, generators and other equipment.

Industrial equipment: can also be used for other mechanical equipment that requires oil cooling.
