Quotes - Sales - EngineeringCompressor Oil Cooling
Oil coolers are vital for compressor lubrication systems, dissipating heat from oil that cools and lubricates rotors, bearings, and seals — ensuring stable viscosity, reduced wear, and reliable performance in continuous-duty air/gas compressors.
- Air Cooled (Primary): Fin tube units like AC / ACF / ACHM, EOC, AOCHM provide efficient cooling for synthetic compressor oils in industrial setups.
- Compact / Low-Flow: BM / BME for smaller compressor bearing/lube circuits or auxiliary cooling.
- Standard Industrial: AC / ACF / ACHM handle typical compressor oil flows (2–120 GPM) with optional bypass and serviceable cores.
- Versatile: EOC for general compressor oil cooling in shops or plants.
- Compressor Benefits: These series cool synthetic compressor oils, prevent carbon/varnish buildup, and maintain lubrication in rotary screw/reciprocating compressors — air-cooled for easy integration without water.

Compressor Oil Cooling Systems
Compressor oil coolers regulate temperatures in rotary screw, reciprocating, and centrifugal lubrication systems to preserve oil properties, minimize wear on bearings/seals/rotors, and support continuous, efficient operation.
AC / ACF / ACHM Series: — Standard industrial air-cooled fin tube coolers (up to 100 hp, 2–120 GPM) with optional bypass/filter — widely used for synthetic compressor oil cooling in shop and plant compressors.
EOC Series: — Versatile air-cooled unit with AC/DC/hydraulic fan options — suitable for general compressor oil cooling in variable-duty or mobile compressor setups.
BM / BME Series: — Compact, low-flow coolers (motor-mounted or fan-driven) — ideal for auxiliary compressor bearing lube or small compressor oil circuits.
Key Benefits
- Maintains compressor oil viscosity for proper lubrication and sealing
- Reduces varnish/carbon buildup and bearing/rotor wear
- Prevents overheating-related shutdowns and oil degradation
- Air-cooled designs require no water supply or treatment
- Rugged construction suits dusty/compressor room environments
- Computer-generated sizing for precise matching to compressor heat loads
