20110108259 | Oil Cooler For A Motorized Vehicle - An oil cooler which is relatively compact in size, yet provides for efficient fluid movement to reduce the temperature of the oil without requiring an external fan, fins or the like is configured to include multiple, parallel paths (i.e., pipes) through which the motor oil flows and is cooled before returning to the system. A plurality of relatively short pipes, grouped in sets, is used to direct the flow of the motor oil from the intake (where the oil leaves the engine and is at its hottest temperature) to the outlet. By the time the oil circulates through the groups of pipes, it will have sufficiently cooled to allow it to return to the system. The contact between the flowing oil and the surfaces of the pipes creates the cooling action as the oil flows therethrough. | 05-12-2011 |
