The Bloksma plate fin oil (PF) cooler is especially designed to achieve excellent performance within the best compact design possible. A wide variety of shell sizes, shell lengths, different tube bundle inserts and different materials enable us to select the most suitable compact cooler for each application. By standardizing this cooler type (modular build design) production lead times are short and production procedures are transparent resulting in short delivery times for our customers.
The PF cooler has high advantages in applications where oil has to be cooled off with another non-oil fluid. The surface on the shell side is enlarged because of the lower heat transfer value of most oils. The required cooling surface is realized by mounting closely placed plate fins around the tubes, which is built together as one rigid cooler bundle. The cylindrical execution ensures that vibrations and high pressure pulses do not have any influence on the performance of the cooler. This non welded compact cooler design is not sensitive for deformation.
The Bloksma PF cooler has a light weight compact bundle, removable from both sides. A double O-ring construction between the shell- and tube side and a minimum of bolting ensure: easy overhaul and cleaning of the tube side.
