Oil/air coolers BNK

Product catalog summary
Introduction and Description
The BNK series of oil/air coolers by Bühler Technologies GmbH are designed for efficient cooling in hydraulic circuits. These coolers are compact, easy to maintain, and feature a rugged cooling matrix. They are equipped with a high suction pump and are compatible with various system requirements. The series is developed with a focus on durability and low noise emission.

Construction and Application
The BNK coolers consist of a cooling matrix, a fan case with mounting rails, and a blower and pump unit. The components can be individually removed for maintenance. The coolers are made from aluminum and are suitable for use in hydraulic systems. Bypass versions are available for specific applications.

Planning Information
Proper setup is crucial to ensure optimal performance. The cooler should be positioned to allow adequate air supply and exhaust, with a minimum distance from obstacles. Regular cleaning is necessary in environments with dirty air. Outdoor installations require weather protection for the motor.

Technical Data
The coolers are constructed from painted aluminum and plastic-coated steel. They operate with mineral and gear oils, with a maximum operating pressure of 8 bar and oil temperature of 80°C. The electric motors comply with IEC standards and are available in various voltage and frequency configurations.

Model Key and Specifications
The model key includes motor power, pump output, and bypass options. Temperature switches are available for different temperature settings. The technical data table provides detailed specifications for each model, including cooling power, circulation rate, motor power, and noise levels.

Calculation Example
An example calculation is provided to determine the appropriate cooler size based on specific cooling performance and temperature differential. The example demonstrates selecting a BNK 3.4 model with a 30 L pump.

Dimensions and Functional Diagram
Detailed dimensions for each model are provided, along with a functional diagram illustrating the oil inlet and outlet positions. The diagram also shows configurations for internal and external bypasses, as well as temperature-dependent bypass valves.

Oil/air coolers BNK-2

Introduction and description Why coolers? In many cases, installing an off-line cooler is not only an emergency solution, but also the best solution with respect to mechanics and economics. Oftentimes off-line filtration can also be incorporated quite effectively. Since a bypass also always requires installation of a separate circulation pump, it’s reasonable to combine it with the motor already installed for the fan. The BNK series is a tiered line of oil/air coolers with circulation pump directly flange-mounted. The cooler size and pump flow rate are coordinated for performance grades compatible...
