HCU Series for Crude Oil Transport Applications

The AKG Cool-Line HCU Series is engineered for hydraulic systems in crude oil transport, providing high-performance offline cooling in rugged and corrosive environments. As a global leader in aluminum cooling systems, AKG offers German-engineered reliability with patented hydronucleation technology for de-aeration. This compact unit is optimized for crude oil transport applications, ensuring fluid integrity and system efficiency at competitive pricing through our exclusive distribution network.

The HCU Series features a DC or hydraulic-motor-driven fan, non-louvered low-fouling fins, and durable construction for optimal heat rejection in oil transport operations. With heat rejection up to 18 HP at 80°F ETD, it minimizes noise and vibration while handling high-demand tasks.

Designed for flexibility and easy installation, the HCU Series includes optimized plumbing to reduce leak points, dual internal bypasses, and vibration testing to military standards (MIL-STD 810). Constructed with stainless steel and aluminum with premium coating, it includes a sight level glass and a 10-micron filter (200-micron option available) to maintain fluid cleanliness critical for crude oil transport.

In crude oil transport, maintaining hydraulic performance and fluid purity is essential. The HCU Series delivers advanced cooling to ensure reliability and durability in harsh conditions.

Offline Cooling: Independent cooling for high-heat crude oil transport systems.

De-Aeration: Patented technology removes air from hydraulic fluid, preventing cavitation and oxidation.

Noise Reduction: 3M adhered foam reduces operational noise in crude oil transport environments.

Energy Efficiency: Efficient fan drives and heat rejection optimize power usage.

Filtration: Integrated filter with bypass ensures clean fluid circulation.

Rugged Design: Field-tested for crude oil transport equipment in extreme conditions.
