When I drive my car in stop and go traffic the oil in the transmission gets extremely hot and I have had to pull over and let it cool off several times and its a brand new transmission with an air cooled cooler. If I rigged up a water cooled cooler with a heat exchanger and fan to chill the water would that remove heat better? Or maybe even a cooler with heatpipes to remove the heat? We have a 2 50 ton hydraulic punch presses at work and 1 has a normal water cooled chiller and the other has a chiller with heat pipes. The one with heat pipes has never overheated and the normal one over heats several times a week.Water cooled transmission oil cooler?
I'd save the hassle of complicating the system you are thinking about and purchase one of many additional external transmission fluid coolers.
They are easy to install and increase the amount of fluid used with the transmission by about 20%. This extra fluid and increased cooling capacity works for 90% of the vehicle out there.
It's what I would do unless you have some set up that required extra extra cooling.Water cooled transmission oil cooler?
Water or oil, or any liquid for that matter will have better heat exchange then air and therefore keep the transmission cooler, so therefore it would be better if you installed a liquid cooler.
