Custom Transmission
Oil Cooler

Lytron has added a new transmission oil cooler to its plate-fin heat exchanger custom solution gallery. The oil cooler was designed and manufactured by Lytron for cooling oil in a ground based vehicle. It features vacuum-brazed aluminum plate-fin technology and has two liquid loops – one for the hot oil and one for a Propylene Glycol (PGW) based coolant. The heat exchanger is also chromate coated for corrosion protection.

Lytron designs and manufactures oil coolers using various technologies, including tube-fin, flat tube, and plate-fin construction. For more information on how we select the best technology for OEM applications, please review our blog article, “Oil Coolers: Flat Tube or Plate-Fin,” as well as our Engineering Design webpage.

Dental Laser Heat Exchanger

Medical lasers often require liquid cooling to maintain a precise laser wavelength and higher output efficiency, to achieve desired beam quality, and/or to reduce thermal stress on the laser system. Pictured on the left is a custom stainless steel tube-fin heat exchanger that Lytron recently designed and manufactured for an OEM for cooling a dental laser. Although the custom stainless steel tube-fin heat exchanger is very similar to Lytron’s 4000 series standard stainless steel tube-fin heat exchanger, it has custom dimensions to meet the OEM’s specific requirements.

Dental lasers require a stainless steel fluid path in the heat exchanger if they are using deionized (DI) water to cool the laser’s diodes. Unlike copper and aluminum, stainless steel is compatible with DI water and other corrosive fluids.
