CLC224000P MAHLE Oil Cooler, engine oil

This Oil Cooler from MAHLE (MPN: CLC224000P) plays a crucial role in the Cooling System category, tasked with keeping engine oil at a safe temperature. It is commonly used in various vehicles and helps prevent engine damage caused by excessive heat buildup. The product's technical advantages include enhanced cooling efficiency and protection against overheating. Oil coolers are heat exchangers utilized to reduce engine oil temperature, primarily in turbocharged, high-performance, or heavy-duty applications. Typically mounted remotely or integrated within the oil pan, they function by dissipating heat from the oil via a dedicated cooling circuit, often leveraging coolant or ambient airflow. Core designs utilize tube-and-fin or plate-fin configurations for maximized thermal transfer efficiency. Construction materials commonly include aluminum alloys for lightweight properties and thermal conductivity. Thermostatic control valves are frequently incorporated to regulate oil flow based on temperature, optimizing warm-up times and maintaining consistent oil viscosity.
