Cooler installation methods are divided into vertical and horizontal oil coolers. Vertical coolers have the advantages of requiring less installation space and being easy to install. Horizontal oil coolers have the advantages of lower pressure drop and stronger resistance to water impact. Therefore, correctly selecting a vertical or horizontal oil cooler according to different site, space height, and performance requirements can better meet the needs of generator sets and other equipment.
(1) The cooler can only be put into use after passing the pressure test. Before use, drain all internal water.
(2) Check whether all backflow and vent valves are flexible and easy to use and their switch positions are correct. Ensure that all pressure gauges and thermometers are installed correctly.
(3) Check whether the foundation and supports are firm and whether all bolts are fully threaded and tightened.
(4) When putting the cooler into use, start with the cold flow, then start with the hot flow.
(5) When using the cold or hot medium, first ensure that the bypass line is unobstructed, then slowly open the outlet valve. After checking that there are no problems, open the inlet valve. Be sure to open it slowly to prevent pressure buildup. Observe the changes in the equipment during the commissioning process. After the cooler is put into operation, leaks may occur due to changes in temperature and pressure, and should be checked promptly.
