welcome to powerboat nation tech TV
00:00:13.910 00:00:13.920 today let's take a look at oil coolers
00:00:15.980 00:00:15.990 and the different styles that are
00:00:17.269 00:00:17.279 offered you have here's what's called a
00:00:19.400 00:00:19.410 tube and shell style and then you have a
00:00:21.410 00:00:21.420 plate style the tube and shell style is
00:00:23.540 00:00:23.550 prepped the most common oil cooler used
00:00:25.310 00:00:25.320 in the marine industry today it comes in
00:00:27.620 00:00:27.630 different diameters and different
00:00:29.150 00:00:29.160 lengths depending on the amount of
00:00:30.470 00:00:30.480 cooling that is needed for your
00:00:31.999 00:00:32.009 installation a power steering or
00:00:33.860 00:00:33.870 transmission cooler will normally be a
00:00:35.569 00:00:35.579 two inch diameter and about eight inches
00:00:37.670 00:00:37.680 long this will have about thirty six
00:00:39.350 00:00:39.360 water passage tubes inside while an
00:00:41.450 00:00:41.460 engine oil cooler will be two inches in
00:00:43.369 00:00:43.379 diameter and eighteen inches long for a
00:00:45.319 00:00:45.329 stock engine it then jumps up to a three
00:00:47.569 00:00:47.579 inch diameter for performance engines
00:00:49.459 00:00:49.469 this three inch oil cooler will have
00:00:51.260 00:00:51.270 about 72 tubes inside so it is much more
00:00:54.500 00:00:54.510 efficient in cooling just by going up
00:00:56.299 00:00:56.309 that one inch in diameter inside of the
00:00:58.729 00:00:58.739 cooler there are baffles that allow the
00:01:00.500 00:01:00.510 oil to move up and down to get as much
00:01:03.080 00:01:03.090 heat transfer through the water as
00:01:05.210 00:01:05.220 possible as its passing through the
00:01:07.429 00:01:07.439 inner tubes the next style that is used
00:01:09.710 00:01:09.720 is a plate cooler and these will
00:01:11.149 00:01:11.159 normally have eight thirteen or 15
00:01:13.429 00:01:13.439 plates the more plates the more cooling
00:01:15.649 00:01:15.659 capacity the plate cooler works by
00:01:17.870 00:01:17.880 fitting the oil as it passes through the
00:01:19.640 00:01:19.650 plates which allows the heat transfer to
00:01:21.410 00:01:21.420 happen much more efficiently than with a
00:01:22.999 00:01:23.009 tube style and plate coolers are most
00:01:24.830 00:01:24.840 commonly used in a bellhousing style
00:01:26.630 00:01:26.640 amounts but they can also be mounted in
00:01:28.730 00:01:28.740 this remote mount box at hardened marine
00:01:30.679 00:01:30.689 builds this eight plate cooler will do
00:01:33.440 00:01:33.450 the same job as this three inch diameter
00:01:36.260 00:01:36.270 tube style but it's in a much smaller
00:01:38.120 00:01:38.130 package the 13 and 15 plate coolers are
00:01:41.030 00:01:41.040 for high horsepower applications and
00:01:43.010 00:01:43.020 will normally require an oil cooler
00:01:44.450 00:01:44.460 thermostat system more to come on that
00:01:46.399 00:01:46.409 in another episode have a great day on
