Charge oil cooler for Terex TA400

The charge oil cooler, part number 15502568, functions as a heat exchanger designed to dissipate thermal energy from the hydraulic or lubricating oil circulating through the transmission or torque converter system. By facilitating heat transfer, this component maintains the oil at an appropriate temperature, which preserves the fluid's viscosity and lubricating properties during machine operation. This prevents thermal degradation of the oil and protects internal system components from damage caused by excessive heat.

This component is specifically designed for the Terex TA400 articulated dump truck. It integrates into the transmission circuit to manage the heat generated during heavy-duty earthmoving and mining applications. Proper maintenance and inspection of the heat exchanger core are necessary to ensure that the cooling surface remains free of obstructions, allowing for continuous and efficient thermal management of the transmission fluid. As a critical element of the drivetrain cooling circuit, its function is to ensure the system operates within the manufacturer's thermal specifications.

Oil coolers generally utilize a core of tubes and fins to maximize the surface area available for heat exchange between the oil and the cooling medium. By regulating the temperature of the circulating fluid, the cooler helps prevent the accelerated wear of internal bearings, gears, and clutches that can occur when operating temperatures exceed safe limits.
