Design

2 Oil/water heat exchanger

P Plates

The oil/water heat exchanger (2) consists of a number of plates (P) in which engine oil circulates.

Function

From an engine oil temperature of 115 °C, when the oil thermostat closes the bypass to the oil filter, the engine oil is routed through the oil-water heat exchanger (2). The oil-water heat exchanger (2) has coolant flowing around it and as a consequence it cools the engine oil.
