What is a oil cooler bypass?

The Thermostatic Oil Cooler Bypass Valve was designed to provide better control of the engine oil temperature while also maintaining the safety of the oil system by bypassing oil around an oil cooler which is plugged for any reason.

What does a cooler bypass do?

The heater bypass tube is a cooling system component found on many road going cars and trucks. It’s purpose is to serve as a cooling system passage that bypasses the thermostat, so that there is coolant flow even when the engine thermostat is closed.

Can I bypass my oil cooler?

you do not need a cooler. You can always bypass an OEM oil cooling system and install an aftermarket system but in your circumstances if it is properly installed, the OEM system is fine. Transmission oil coolers can leak into the coolant, too, so be sure that is not the issue.

How does an aircraft oil cooler work?

Air oil cooler. The fuel-cooled oil cooler acts as a fuel oil heat exchanger in that the fuel cools the hot oil and the oil heats the fuel for combustion.

What is the function of the bypass valve in an oil filter?

The bypass valve – otherwise known as a pressure relief valve – is an integral part of the oil filter. The valve is designed to open when the oil filter becomes clogged or when the oil is too thick.

How does an oil to air cooler work?

Oil-to-air cooler: is a small radiator that enables the engine oil to be cooled directly from an ambient air from the cooling fans. Most of the oil-to-air coolers work with a thermostatically controlled bypass valve that stops the engine oil from passing through the cooler without reaching its desired operating temperature.

Why does the oil bypass valve not open?

This allows the oil to bypass the filter through a center tube. The oil then goes straight to the engine to prevent starvation and damage. If the bypass valve doesn’t open when needed, the filter will swell and eventually burst.

How are Parker’s thermal bypass valves modulate fluid temperature?

Parker’s thermal bypass valves modulate fluid temperature by shifting return line flow through the cooler, or bypassing it directly to the reservoir.
