Physical placement of an air-cooled unit inside factory enclosures often determines whether it performs up to its rated capacity. Placing a hydraulic power pack oil cooler too close to a wall or surrounding structural machinery chokes airflow, creating recirculating hot air pockets around the fan intake. A minimum clearance—usually equal to the fan diameter—is required on both the intake and exhaust sides to ensure proper CFM performance. Additionally, mounting the cooler directly downstream of hot electric motors or engine exhausts forces already-heated air across the cooling fins, drastically reducing thermal exchange efficiency. Proper cabinet ventilation design is just as vital as selecting the right exchanger specs.
