The
tasks of engine oils are to lubricate, to cool and to prohibit corrosion. If the
oil runs at too high a temperature the properties deteriorate, the consequence
is excessive wear, reduced life expectancy and in the worst case excessively
high oil temperatures which can lead to engine failure.
Mocal
and Setrab oil coolers are designed to cool the oil on high performance and
competition engines. The oil coolers, both Setrab and Mocal are oil to air
coolers. The cooler consists of a variable number of aluminium pressed plates.
The oil ways are interspersed with aluminium strip louvered and formed into
corrugations to provide air ways. The design of the Setrab and Mocal oil coolers
is beautifully simple and efficient.
A Mocal
oil cooler is supplied with the oil unions brazed to the cooler.
A Setrab oil
cooler is supplied with a M22 female boss and a range of BSP and JIC unions
are interchangeable.
