Oiltech form part of the worldwide Olaer-Group. For more than 40 years, we have been a leader in the design and manufacture
of oil coolers, accumulators and circulation pumps – products, which are a part of all modern hydraulic systems.
Unique design
Optimal performance as well as maintenance free
The PWO is a compact and lightweight water oil cooler PWO WATER OIL COOLER
with a high cooling capacity for the cooler size. This • Light and compact
lightweight and compact water oil cooler consists of • Suitable for many applications
corrugated channel plates sandwiched between the • Ease of installation
front and rear cover plates. The channel plates are • Cost efficient and environmentally friendly
pressed and vacuum brazed in the same automated
procedure, and with rigorous standards of quality control.
The unique plate design provides high turbulent flow
conditions throughout the cooler, the key to efficient
cooling. This turbulent flow reduces the risk for
clogging, which in turn makes this PWO virtually
maintenance free.
A wide number
of possibilities
The unique design emphasizes a number of
possibilities for versatile and efficient solutions.
The PWO can easily be adapted to a variety of needs
and special applications including seawater, aggressive
oils, high pressure and high temperature applications.
With a PWO water oil cooler in your system, you can
be assured that the fluid in your system is working
at the correct temperature and provide maximum
performance and safety in your system.

Technical information
PWO STANDARD range of water oil coolers is avail-
able in a wide number of sizes and is in general
available for immediate off-the-shelf delivery. The
basic material is AISI 316 stainless steel, vacuum
brazed with pure copper. PWO requires little refriger-
ant volume resulting in lower cost and a more
environmentally-friendly installation.
Low installation cost allows for oversizing to
accommodate for future increase in requirements or
peak loads.
