AMETEK Hughes-Treitler provides a wide range of custom-designed Aluminum plate-fin Fuel-Cooled Oil Coolers (FCOCs) for a variety of high-performance applications, including engines, airframes, rotary-wing aircraft, UAVs, and military vehicles. Each FCOC is meticulously engineered to meet the specific requirements of demanding environments where thermal performance, weight reduction, vibration resistance, and high pressure capabilities are critical.
Optimized for Maximum Performance and Reliability
Our Fuel-Cooled Oil Coolers (FCOCs) are designed to leverage the cooling properties of aircraft fuel to regulate hydraulic fluid or oil temperatures in systems prone to extreme thermal conditions. These coolers provide efficient, reliable thermal management in aerospace and defense applications, ensuring optimal system performance while maintaining high reliability under harsh conditions.
Applications:
- Commercial Aircraft (engines, airframes)
- Rotary-Wing Aircraft (helicopters)
- Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
- Military Ground Vehicles
- Hydraulic Systems and Fuel Systems
Features:
- Brazed tube-fin construction for enhanced durability and thermal efficiency
- Lightweight aluminum design that reduces overall system weight
- High vibration resistance, optimized for military and aerospace applications
