COOLER CORE COMPRESSOR

888 023 79 COOLER, OIL Functioning as a critical heat exchanger, this cooler reduces the temperature of the air immediately after it has been compressed. Hot compressed air carries a lot of water vapor, which can create problems throughout the pneumatic system. By cooling the air, this unit allows that moisture to condense and be removed before it causes corrosion or blockages.

Positioned directly in the compressor circuit, this part is fundamental to the reliability of the entire rig. Ineffective cooling can lead to moisture freezing in air lines, which can disable pneumatic controls in cold environments. Maintaining the correct air temperature also ensures the flushing air is dense and powerful, efficiently clearing the borehole and improving the drill's penetration rate.

Common signs of a failing cooler include frequent compressor high-temperature alarms or finding excessive water in the system's traps. Keep the cooler fins clear of dust and grime to allow for proper heat transfer. If the compressor still overheats even when the cooler is clean, it may be clogged internally and require replacement.
