When using oil chillers during winter, the following important precautions must be observed to ensure proper equipment operation and operator safety:

When ambient temperatures drop below 10°C, oil temperatures will also be low, resulting in high oil viscosity that hinders the oil chiller's startup process. After startup, the oil cooler may trigger a low-temperature alarm. In such cases, first run the main equipment or preheat the oil. Only activate the oil cooler once the oil temperature exceeds 15°C. This approach effectively safeguards normal machine operation. Alternatively, configure the main equipment's temperature settings to control the oil cooler's start/stop cycles, preventing alarms due to excessively low or high oil temperatures that could disrupt normal functioning.

In summary, maintaining stable oil cooler operation during winter requires careful attention. By implementing the above measures, your oil cooler will reliably navigate the cold season, safeguarding your equipment throughout the winter months!
