Patent attributes
An oil cooler, in particular for hydraulic oil, which is composed of spaced-apart cooling plates which are in the form of a parallelepiped-shaped package (1), said plates separating coolant channels and oil channels from each other. Connections (3, 4) for supplying and removing the oil and the coolant are provided on the front side (2) of the plate package, and filter plates (4) are arranged upstream from the plate package on the other side (5) of the plate package. The measurements of the filter plates essentially correspond to the measurements of the cooling plates. The filter plates are detachably connected to the plate package via a closing face plate (1′). The filter plates are transversed by oil openings, which are connected to the oil inlet opening (2′) in the closing face plate and to an oil inlet opening (2″) in the plate package.
