GEA Bloksma NF oil cooler – great cooling performance on a small footprint

Hamburg (Germany), September, 2012 – With its new GEA Bloksma Type NF, GEA presents a new oil
cooler that uses water to efficiently cool the oil from turbines, diesel and gas engines, gear systems,
bearings, hydraulic equipment, refrigeration facilities, air compressors and many other systems at the
international SMM trade fair, the leading fair for the maritime industry. Its great advantage over other
similar equipment designs is its much more compact dimensions with comparable cooling duty. The
compact dimensions of the NF mean that the customer saves money, beginning with the initial
investment. Additional benefits include savings in operation, as a result of reduced water consumption
and low pressure drop. This is all made possible thanks to the internal design of the NF oil cooler: plate
fins, which are built together as one rigid cooler bundle, ensure a large heat-transfer surface on the shell
side and, in turn, good heat dissipation.

The new GEA Bloksma Type NF oil coolers offer a variety of different connection possibilities and
therefore effectively suit a wide range of different installation situations. They can be connected to
pressures of up to 30 bar on the water and oil side. The temperatures of the media can range up to
120 degrees Celsius. Beginning immediately, the coolers are available as single- or dual-way oil coolers
in four model sizes. The smallest, the NF14, has an outer shell diameter of 141.3 millimeters and the
largest, the NF32, an outer diameter of 323.9 millimeters. All NF oil coolers are insensitive to impact,
vibration, and pulsation.
