Oil Coolers for Vac. Pumps

[Cory Chrudimsky]

Wondering if any of you guys out there are running Oil Coolers with fans on your Vacuum pumps....We are looking to install oil coolers on our Delaval 78's, any help/information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Cory

Cory,

We run a oil cooled vacuum pump. Runs great. Beginning of season, have to get our room heated up for a day before running since oil is close to solid from long cold winter. Once we start the season, we don't shut off our vacuum pump unless temps drop drastically. We have to keep the windows open and sometimes the door, the pump puts out a lot of heat. Make sure you have good ventilation.
