Oil Cooler Elbow
Overview
An Oil Cooler Elbow is a connector component used in the engine oil cooling system to link the oil cooler to the engine block or oil lines. It helps direct engine oil through the cooler, allowing it to dissipate heat and return at a lower temperature for optimal engine performance.
Key Functions
Directs oil flow: Channels hot oil from the engine to the oil cooler and back.
Maintains sealed connection: Prevents oil leaks using O-rings or gaskets.
Withstands heat and pressure: Built to handle high temperatures and oil pressure.
Typical Features
Elbow-shaped design (often 90°)
Threaded or flanged ends for secure fitting
Durable metal construction (aluminum/steel)
Heat- and oil-resistant seals
Benefits
Enhances engine oil cooling efficiency
Helps maintain optimal engine temperature
Prevents oil leakage and pressure loss
Extends engine and oil cooler life
