Determine the Heat Load. Heat load may be expressed as either
STEP 1  l = 5 PSI n = 10 PSI s = 20 PSI Multiply pressure drop from

This controller was designed to mount on the cooler without requiring
extensive wiring or plumbing. It provides accurate temperature control
by cycling the cooling fan(s) to maintain desired oil temperature.

General Information Piping Hook-up

1. Air Cooled “MF and “DF” Mobile Series coolers are built for operation with
maximum oil pressures to 300 PSI and temperatures to 350°F. Models MF-15, MF-30, DF-11, DF-12
2. C
 are must be taken to reduce or eliminate dirt and debris from blocking
Inlet
the cooling surface as overheating could result.

Installation
1. These coolers are designed for mounting by “L” shaped brackets attached Relief Valve
FLOW
to the sides of the manifolds. (Optional)
2. It is recommended that these units be installed with the oil ports
positioned as shown below.
3. U nits should not be located in corrosive atmospheres as rapid
deterioration of cooling coil, and/or manifolds may
take place resulting in reduced service life.
4. Piping should be sized based on oil flow and pressure drop requirements,
not on the oil coolers port sizes.
5. T urn fan blade manually to assure proper clearance before motor start-up
in case it has been damaged in shipment. 3/8 NPT Port for Optional
Temperature Sensor
NOTE: Oil port position is at customer option, however, the cooler must be flooded with
oil to take full advantage of cooling potential.

Maintenance
Models MF-160, DF-11, DF-22
1. The cooler should be inspected regularly for corrosion and dirty or clogged
heat transfer surface. Dirt and dust can be removed by washing, brushing Relief Valve (Optional)
or blowing out with compressed air. Should the surface be greasy, the fins
and tubes can be brushed or sprayed with a non-flammable degreasing
fluid which is safe on copper, steel and aluminum. Follow with a hot wash
rinse and dry thoroughly. A steam cleaner can also be used effectively.
2. O
 nce a year, or as required by the application, piping should be
disconnected and a degreasing agent circulated through the unit to
remove sludge from turbulators and internal tube surfaces to return the
unit to full capacity. A thorough cleaning of the entire system in the same
FLOW

manner is preferable to avoid carry-over from uncleaned piping, pump and

accessories. The strainer or any filtering devices should also be serviced
following this operation.
3. 12 Volt DC motors are not serviceable and must be replaced if
Inlet
problems occur.
4. When ordering replacement parts or inquiring on service, mention the
model number, serial number, and the original purchase order number. 3/8 NPT Port for Optional
Temperature Sensor
