Welcome to Nichiboku's industrial Blog
Introduction
When precision cooling and operational efficiency are mission-critical, choosing the right oil cooler can make all the difference. The FTC-FTCB Oil Cooler series by Taisei Kogyo delivers exceptional thermal performance, compact design, and user-friendly maintenance for a variety of industrial and marine applications. Designed with a floating tube sheet and cutting-edge heat exchanger technology, this product is a trusted solution for environments where reliability and cleanliness are paramount.
Key Features of the FTC-FTCB Oil Cooler
Floating Tube Sheet Design for Easy Maintenance
The FTC-FTCB oil coolers feature a shell-and-tube heat exchanger structure with a floating tube sheet. This allows the entire tube bundle to be easily removed and cleaned, especially advantageous in applications where the shell side (oil side) tends to accumulate dirt.
FTC vs. FTCB: Tailored for Environment
FTC: Optimized for freshwater cooling, commonly used in general industrial machinery.
FTCB: Engineered for seawater cooling, ideal for marine equipment and harsh saltwater conditions.
Compact, High-Efficiency Heat Exchange
Utilizing Taisei Kogyo’s proprietary φ12.7 low-finned tubes, these oil coolers provide high cooling capacity within a relatively small footprint.
Flexible Flow & Installation Options
Adjustable U-bolt stands for diverse mounting needs
Customizable baffle plate counts to match oil flow requirements (3 to 11 plates)
Versatile connection styles: threaded or flanged
Optional ports for air vent valves and thermometers
