l2embo, you didn't answer my question ;)
Why do you have to replace it?
This a Thermosiphon/thermosyphon oil cooler that has been paired with the compressor unit, that is why I am asking why it is being replaced.
-is it because the compressor unit has been moved, and now the oil cooler is too small for the new application?
-Is there an internal leak in the oil cooler?
-is the oil cooler not cooling the oil?
I don't work much on Sabroe plants, because Johnson Controls has a office/workshop just 3 km down the road :), and the service manager is a friend and former colleague, so I try to not infringe on their plants :)
Anyway, usually, the only problems I have had with the OOSI thermosyphon oil coolers is that oil has collected on the refrigerant side and is reducing the surface area of the tubes that the liquid ammonia can cover and cool down. Many people forget to drain oil from the drain valve that is under the oil cooler (6 on the attached pdf).
Usually oil shouldn't accumulate in the oil cooler, usually, if it is a recurring problem it is because the liquid line to the oil cooler is connected to the receiver in the wrong place. the liquid supply to the oil cooler should be connected as far away from where the liquid from the condenser enters the receiver.
The worst I have seen, was on a plant, where the liquid to the oil cooler was connected to the oil collecting sump on the HP receiver. looking at the receiver, left to right was:
1: liquid from condenser
2: oil sump, and liquid to oil cooler
3: liquid outlet to consumers.
I drained 243 liters of oil from that oil cooler.
Anyways, I talk to much! :)

I will PM you the contact information of my friend in Johnson Controls and my Name, so you can name drop ;)
