Hydraulic Conditioning Units

HCU Series for LP Gas Transport Applications

The AKG Cool-Line HCU Series is engineered for hydraulic systems in LP gas transport, delivering high-performance offline cooling in hazardous and demanding conditions. As a global leader in aluminum cooling systems, AKG provides German-engineered reliability with patented hydronucleation technology for de-aeration. This compact unit is optimized for LP gas 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 robust construction for optimal heat rejection in LP gas transport operations. With heat rejection up to 18 HP at 80°F ETD, it minimizes noise and vibration while meeting stringent safety standards.

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 LP gas transport.

In LP gas transport, maintaining hydraulic performance and safety is critical. The HCU Series delivers advanced cooling to ensure reliability and compliance in hazardous environments.

Offline Cooling: Independent cooling for high-heat LP gas transport systems.

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

Noise Reduction: 3M adhered foam reduces operational noise in LP gas transport environments.

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

Filtration: Integrated filter with bypass ensures clean fluid circulation for safety compliance.

Rugged Design: Field-tested for LP gas transport equipment in harsh conditions.

Brushless Fan Drive for LP Gas Transport

HCU Series units provide offline cooling and filtration for hydraulic systems in LP gas transport, removing heat and contaminants to prevent system failures. The patented de-aeration technology eliminates air bubbles, ensuring safe and smooth operation in hazardous LP gas transport environments.

Fan drive types for LP gas transport applications in the HCU Series include:

  • Brushless 12/24 VDC: Long-life, IP69-rated for hazardous LP gas transport environments.
  • Hydraulic: High-pressure capability up to 3,000 psi.
  • Brushed 12/24 VDC: Cost-effective with IP68 rating.

Stainless steel and aluminum with premium coatings ensure durability and corrosion resistance in LP gas transport environments. The tank is low carbon steel, and mounting brackets are high steel low alloy, providing robustness for mobile LP gas transport equipment.

Dual internal bypasses (system at 28 psi, filter at 25 psi), optimized plumbing to reduce leak points, and vibration testing to MIL-STD 810 ensure reliability in LP gas transport operations, minimizing downtime and ensuring safety in critical tasks.

Patented hydronucleation technology in the reservoir removes entrained air, preventing fluid degradation and enhancing performance in LP gas transport hydraulic systems.

Efficient heat rejection up to 18 HP at 80°F ETD, optional fan speed controls, and compact design reduce energy consumption while maintaining cooling performance in LP gas transport systems.

Key safety features for LP gas transport applications include:

  • Pressure Relief: Integrated relief valve.
  • Bypasses: Dual bypasses for system and filter protection.
  • Vibration Resistance: Tested to MIL-STD 810.
  • High Pressure Rating: Up to 3,000 psi.
  • Temperature Monitoring: Optional sensors and switches.
