🔍 Key Concepts

• Safe operation of shell-and-tube lube oil coolers during changeover • Risk of thermal shock to cooler tubes and risk of losing lube oil pressure/flow to the engine • General principle: bring the standby unit ONLINE and stable before taking the running unit OFFLINE

💭 Think About

• Think about which fluid (lube oil vs. cooling water) is more critical to keep continuous and stable for the engine while you are shifting coolers. • Consider which action could suddenly expose hot tubes to cold water (or vice versa) and create thermal stress or leaks. • Ask yourself: in what sequence can I avoid both air pockets and pressure shocks, while NEVER interrupting lube oil flow to the engine?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the engine’s lube oil supply is never interrupted during the entire shifting sequence. • Ensure the on‑coming cooler is filled and tempered (not shocked with sudden temperature change) before it takes the full load. • Confirm that the off‑going cooler is isolated last, only after the new flow path is fully established.

When shifting heat exchangers such as main engine lube oil coolers, what statement represents the recommended operating procedure if the shift is to occur during engine operation?

First, secure cooling water to the off-going cooler, then secure lube oil to the off-going cooler. Next, introduce lube oil to the on-coming cooler, then introduce cooling water to the on-coming cooler.

First, introduce lube oil to the on-coming cooler, then introduce cooling water to the on-coming cooler. Next, secure cooling water to the off-going cooler, then secure lube oil to the off-going cooler.

First, introduce cooling water to the on-coming cooler, then introduce lube oil to the on- coming cooler. Next, secure lube oil to the off-going cooler, then secure cooling water to the off- going cooler.
