I have a book (Introduction to heat transfer - Bergmann), there is an example of an oil cooler cooled by air (crossflow heat exchanger with both fluids unmixed). There is written: "... with an overall heat transfer coefficient of 53 W/(m²*K)."
The purpose of a radiator is to transfer heat from the engine to the atmosphere, so radiators need to be made of a material with a high heat transfer coefficient. Aluminum has a high heat transfer coefficient. In other words, aluminum conducts heat very well. There are other materials, such as copper, which conduct even better, but aluminum is more economical to use than copper.
It is an engine oil cooler. They come stock with a trans cooler.
Where is the engine oil cooler on a 1998 Ford Econoline van E150
Yes, with out the thermostat, the coolant can circulate to fast to effectively absorb and transfer any heat. Updated answer, The thermostat is to keep the engine running at a factory set predetermined temperature, without the thermostat the engine should run cooler.
To replace the oil cooler on an N14 engine, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Drain the engine oil and coolant, then remove any components obstructing access to the oil cooler, such as the intake manifold or exhaust. Disconnect the oil cooler lines and mounting bolts, then carefully remove the old cooler. Install the new oil cooler by reversing the process, ensuring all connections are secure and refill the engine with oil and coolant before starting the engine.
As a "heat engine", a car engine must rid itself of heat to continue. Efficiency of the heat engine depends on the difference in temperature; therefore, as the temperature outside reaches the temperature inside, the engine stops.
A 1992 Honda Accord does not have an Engine oil cooler. It can have a transmission oil cooler, which is built into the radiator.
4.3 quarts. (With cooler).
If your vehicle has an engine oil cooler ther will be two hydraulic lines going to each side of your radiator. If there are only lines going to one side of your radiator, then it doesn't have an engine oil cooler.
An oil cooler works the same as a radiator that cools coolant
An oil cooler extends the life of an engine by specifically keeping the oil 'cooler' that what the regular cooling system can do (which is designed to cool the entire engine). If your car has some SEEPAGE around the cooler and/or lines that is not the end of the world; but if it LEAKS repair it. Since it is external to the engine I would not expect it to be a major repair.
Yes, the 2000 Olds Silouette has an engine oil cooler, as well as a transmission oil cooler for the automatic tranny. The engine oil cooler is built in to the engine oil filter housing. Water/coolant enters from the engine block, circulates around the filter housing and exits through a tube to the lower intake manifold. If an engine starts getting oil in the coolant and coolant in the engine oil, this could very well be the source of the problem. An internal leak.
