Ölgekühlt
Ölgekühlt refers to a cooling method where a liquid, typically oil, is used to dissipate heat from a component or system. This technique is commonly employed in applications where air cooling is insufficient or impractical, such as in high-performance engines, industrial machinery, and certain electronic devices. The oil circulates through a closed loop, absorbing heat from the targeted components and then transferring it to a heat exchanger, often a radiator, where it is released into the surrounding environment.
The effectiveness of oil cooling depends on several factors, including the type of oil used, its flow
In automotive applications, oil coolers are frequently found in engines and transmissions to maintain optimal operating
