Product Name: Oil/Air Heat Exchanger Kit with External Cable (Part No. 05001698)

Description:
This component is an oil/air heat exchanger kit, a specialized cooling system designed for waterjet intensifier pumps . The kit is specifically identified as including an external auxiliary contact and a #14 gauge cable with a length of 120 inches .

The primary function of this kit is to regulate the temperature of the hydraulic fluid in the waterjet pump. As the intensifier operates, the hydraulic oil generates significant heat. The heat exchanger unit is the core of the kit, comprising a network of tubes or plates through which the hot oil flows . The kit uses water as a cooling medium; the circulating water absorbs heat from the oil as it passes through the heat exchanger . It is critical to maintain hydraulic oil temperature below 120°F (49°C) to ensure optimal system performance and prevent component damage .

This external kit also features a water circulation system (including hoses and fittings), an air circulation system (fan or blower), mounting hardware, piping, and thermal control components such as temperature sensors or thermostats to regulate the oil temperature .

Applications:

• Cooling the hydraulic fluid in the power unit of waterjet cutting systems .

• Used in high-pressure intensifier pumps (40k-100k PSI) where consistent oil temperature is critical for viscosity and pump efficiency.

• Protects the hydraulic pump, seals, and valves from thermal degradation.

Features:

• Complete Kit: Includes the heat exchanger core, external cable (120"), auxiliary contact, water circulation pump, and air fan .

• Integrated Cable: Comes with a #14 gauge external cable for electrical connection to the machine’s control system.

• Thermal Regulation: Maintains hydraulic oil temperature below the recommended threshold (typically 120°F / 49°C) .

• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the harsh, high-moisture environment of waterjet cutting.

Maintenance:

Cleaning (Critical):

• Clean the Cooler Fins: Dirty coolers are the primary cause of overheating. Clean the heat exchanger core (fins) regularly using compressed air or a high-pressure water cleaner .

• Prevent Damage: When using a high-pressure water jet, do not hold the nozzle too close to the cooler fins to prevent physical damage .

• Eye Protection: Always wear protective goggles when using compressed air or high-pressure water jets for cleaning .

Inspection:

• Check for Blockage: Ensure the water circulation system is free of blockages and that water flow is consistent.

• Monitor Temperature: Regularly check that the hydraulic oil temperature remains within the normal operating range (below 120°F / 49°C) .

• External Cable: Inspect the #14 external cable for cuts, abrasion, or damage.

Water Quality:

• Prevent Scaling: If the water contains heavy mineral deposits, the exchanger tubes may eventually become restricted by particle buildup. Pre-filtration and/or water softening may be necessary in such conditions .
