Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides technical specifications and ordering information for the EKT Series Shell & Tube Fluid Coolers, specifically designed for water-cooled applications. These coolers are constructed with copper and steel, featuring a compact size and high-efficiency finned bundle design.

Features
  • In-tank cooler design minimizes space requirements and reduces plumbing needs.
  • High-strength steel shell with removable end bonnets for easy servicing.
  • Internal aluminum fins enhance performance.

Materials
  • Shell: Steel
  • Tubes: Copper
  • Fins: Aluminum
  • Tubesheets and Baffles: Steel
  • End Bonnets: Cast Iron
  • Gaskets: Nitrile Rubber/Cellulose Fiber

Ratings
  • Operating Pressure: Shellside 75 psi, Tubeside 150 psi
  • Test Pressure: Shellside 75 psi, Tubeside 150 psi
  • Maximum Temperature: 250°F

Ordering Information
  • Model Series: EKT, EKTS, EKTM
  • Options include SAE or BSPP connections and internal oil flow bypass relief (SURGE-CUSHION®).

SURGE-CUSHION®
This patented device is designed to internally bypass a portion of the oil flow during cold start conditions or sudden flow surges, potentially replacing an external bypass valve.

Performance and Dimensions
The document includes performance curves and dimensions for various models, indicating oil flow rates and heat removal capabilities. It emphasizes the importance of not exceeding maximum allowable flow rates to prevent premature failure.

Selection Procedure
  • Performance curves are based on a 40°F approach temperature and a 2:1 oil to water ratio.
  • Corrections for approach temperature and oil viscosity are necessary for accurate performance calculations.
  • Oil pressure drop coding is provided, with specific symbols indicating pressure drop levels.

NOTE: We reserve the right to make reasonable design changes without notice. Certified drawings are available upon request. All dimensions in inches. Tank gasket is included. BSPP threads are 55° full form whitworth. Selection Procedure Performance Curves Performance Curves are based on a 40°F approach temperature, a 2:1 oil to water ratio and an average oil viscosity of 100 SSU. Example: oil leaving cooler at 125°F with 85°F cooling water (125°F - 85°F = 40°F). The 2:1 oil to water ratio means that for every GPM of oil circulated, a minimum of 1/2 GPM of water must must be circulated to obtain...
