Quotes - Sales - EngineeringCase Drain Cooling
Compact air-cooled oil coolers target low-flow, low-pressure case drain lines in hydraulic systems, dissipating heat efficiently to maintain fluid performance and protect pumps, motors, and valves from thermal damage in space-limited or intermittent-duty applications.
- Compact Air Cooled: BM Series mounts directly to TEFC electric motors (NEMA 48–365 frames), ideal for integrated case drain cooling.
- Low-Flow Design: Handles typical case drain volumes (low GPM) with NPT/SAE connections and 300°F / 300 PSI ratings.
- Electric Fan Models: BME Series uses 1/40 HP 115V motors for standalone or remote case drain cooling in single/two-pass configurations.
- Applications: Perfect for hydraulic power units, machine tools, presses, bearings, gearboxes, and portable hydraulic tools.
- Case Drain Benefits: Prevents overheating in low-flow returns, reduces thermal stress on seals/pumps, and extends hydraulic fluid life without oversized coolers.

Case Drain Oil Cooling Systems
Case drain coolers target low-flow return oil from hydraulic pumps, motors, and valves — removing heat that would otherwise cause overheating, seal degradation, or reduced system efficiency in compact or intermittent-duty hydraulic setups.
BM Series: — Motor-mounted air-cooled coolers that attach directly to TEFC electric motors (NEMA 48–365 frames), providing integrated case drain cooling with minimal space and simple installation — ideal for hydraulic power units and machine tools.
BME Series: — Standalone compact coolers with 1/40 HP 115V electric fans, single or two-pass configurations, and NPT/SAE connections — perfect for remote case drain lines, portable tools, or systems without motor mounting options.
Key Benefits
- Efficient cooling of low-flow case drain returns (typical <5–10 GPM)
- Prevents thermal damage to pump/motor seals and bearings
- Maintains hydraulic fluid viscosity for consistent performance
- Compact footprint for space-constrained power units and tools
- 300°F / 300 PSI ratings handle standard hydraulic conditions
- Economical, low-maintenance solution vs. oversized main-system coolers
