5.8.2 Cooling coil
The gear unit can be fitted with a cooling coil in the oil sump. Cooling water is supplied to the cooling coil
by way of a water connection. The operator must ensure this. Either fresh water, sea water or brackish
water can be used for cooling purposes.
When water is flowing through the cooling coil, a certain amount of heat is transferred from the gearunit
oil to the water and thereby removed from the system.

Note
Complete immersion of the cooling coil must be ensured, because otherwise water condensation may
occur.
NOTICE
Material damage
Damage to the cooling coil possible.
The pressure of the cooling water must not exceed 8 bar. The ends of the cooling coil must not be
twisted nor must the reducing screws be removed.
If there is a danger of freezing, the cooling water must be drained off. Remaining water must be blown
out using compressed air.
The water can flow through the gear unit in either direction.
To avoid excessive water pressure, the coolingwater inlet must be fitted with a suitable coolingwater
quantitycontrol device (e.g. a pressure reducer or suitable stop valve).
WARNING
Risk of eye injury through compressed air
Remains of water and/or dirt particles may be harmful to the eyes.
Wear suitable protective glasses.
Note
For connection dimensions, refer to the dimensioned drawing of the gear unit. The required
coolingwater quantity and the maximum permissible inlet temperature are given on the data sheet
and/or in the list of equipment.
For a detailed illustration of the gear unit and the position of the addon parts, refer to the drawings in the
gearunit documentation.
