Plate Type Lube Oil Cooler




Lube oil cooler

All engines use oil as a lubricant to seal the compression chamber and reduce piston wear and friction. Friction and the heat from combustion increase the oil temperature, reducing its viscosity.

If the oil temperature becomes too high, the low viscosity makes the protective oil film too thin for effective protection and sealing. The result is increased wear on moving parts, reduced efficiency for the machine and a shorter life for the oil. The excess heat in the lube oil must be removed efficiently with minimal pressure-drop and impact on weight and space, which demands a solution such as a SWEP compact brazed plate heat exchanger (BPHE).

There are many uses for power. The same engine model can be found in many situations with very different applications. Large-scale engines with outputs ranging from kW to several MW can be used to propel marine vessels or to provide electricity and heat when the appropriate infrastructure is unavailable.

How To Become Marine Engineer?



Marine engineers and naval architects are involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of ships, boats, and related equipment. They design and supervise the construction of everything from aircraft carriers to submarines, and from sailboats to tankers. Naval architects work on the basic design of ships, including hull form and stability. Marine engineers work on the propulsion, steering, and other systems of ships. Marine engineers and naval architects apply knowledge from a range of fields to the entire design and production process of all water vehicles. Other workers who operate or supervise the operation of marine machinery on ships and other vessels sometimes may be called marine engineers or, more frequently, ship engineers, but they do different work.
