Selection Procedure
Performance Curves are based on 100SSU oil at 40F approach temperature
(125F oil leaving cooler, 85F water entering cooler), 2:1 oil: water ratio
(1 GPM water flow for each 2 GPM oil flow).
Determine Curve Horsepower Heat to be Removed.

Determine Actual Oil Pressure Drop. Pressure drop shown on
Step 2 
curve x Pressure drop correction multiplier = Actual pressure drop.

Oil Temperature
Oil coolers can be selected by using entering or leaving oil tempertures.
Typical operating temperature ranges are:
Hydraulic Motor Oil 110F - 130F
Hydrostatic Drive Oil 130F - 180F
Lube Oil Circuits 110F - 130F
Automatic Transmission Fluid 200F - 300F

Desired Reservoir Temperature
Return Line Cooling: Desired temperature is the oil temperature
leaving the cooler. This will be the same temperature that will be found
in the reservoir.
Off-Line Recirculation Cooling Loop: Desired temperature is the
temperature entering the cooler. In this case, the oil temperature change
must be determined so that the actual oil leaving temperature can be found.
Calculate the oil temperature change (Oil #T) with this formula:
Oil #T=(BTUs/Hr.)/GPM Oil Flow x 210).
To calculate the oil leaving temperature from the cooler, use this formula:
Oil Leaving Temperature = Oil Entering Temperature - Oil #T.
This formula may also be used in any application where the only temperature
available is the entering oil temperature.
Oil Pressure Drop: Most systems can tolerate a pressure drop through the
heat exchanger of 20 to 30 PSI. Excessive pressure drop should be avoided.
Care should be taken to limit pressure drop to 5 PSI or less for case drain
applications where high back pressure may damage the pump shaft seals.
