GENERAL Introduction 1. This Sect. 4 deals with the repair of aircraft oil coolers of the tubular type. The informa- tion given covers preliminary inspections, partial dismantling, the fitting of new parts wheré required, re-assembly, and final tests. It is not a guide to complete re-conditioning processes, which is’ contained in Part 4 of this volume, supplemented by the approved salvage schemes issued to all Repair Units. 2. The coolers are made by a number of different manufacturers and differ considerably in the details of design and construction. Much of the information required by the repairer, including instructions for preliminary cleaning and inspecting, general repair procedure, and final testing is, however, common to coolers of all makes and types. To avoid unnecessary repetition, therefore, all this information which is of general application is given in this Chap. 1 3._ In following chapters details are given of the individual makes and types of tubular type oil coolers in general use in the Service, with the special- information likely to be required when undertaking repairs on these particular components. 4, General repairs to oil coolers are in most cases very similar to the repair of radiators and where this similarity occurs more detailed information on the repair will be found in Sect. 2, Chap. 1. Classification of repairs 5. No exact classification of repairs is made, but the information throughout is confined to repair methods which can be undertaken in Repait Units with the tools and equipment listed in para. 8. The extent of the repair which can be undertaken by these methods varies consider- ably according to the design and method of construction of individual makes and types of cooler, but as a general guide it includes those repairs summarised in para. 6 and 7 Tubular type matrix 6, The repair of surface leaks, caused by the breakdown of soldered tube-joints and resulting from tube fractures or from the collapse of one or more tubes, replacing single tubes or complete tube-block sections. This leaf issued with A.L. No. 12 A.P.2850A, Vol. II, Part 3, Sect. 4, Chap. 1 November, 1945 Defects in tanks, case, or external fittings 7. The repair of rivet leaks, cracks in the case, or other damage weakening its construction, and cracks in, or other damage to, branches, brackets, channels, etc. ‘The renewing of external fittings and components. ‘Tools and equipment 8. The following tools and equipment are required for the repair operations dealt with in this Section: — () A number of adjustable gas/air blow-pipes, some of which must be capable of producing a long and extremely fine concentrated flame. For certain repair operations the diameter of the flame should not exceed } in. (ii) A tinman’s stove heated by gas or coke. (iii) A de-greasing bath, preferably with a pump, which will ensure effective circulation bf the de-greasing solution through the internal passages of the cooler. (iv) A high-temperature glycerine bath, with armoured glass guard to protect operators. (v) Internal air pressure test equipment. (vi) Flow test equipment. (vii) Baths for washing complete coolers in hot and cold water. (viii) The usual hand tools, and sheet metal working tools. 9, Further details of these items of equipment are given in Sect. 1, Chap. 1. 10. As is customary in metal working, a particular operation can often be assisted by the use of an improvised tool or item of equipment which can be made up locally according to the type of work to be undertaken. Tools of this character vary widely, and no purpose will be served by endeavouring to list them al, but some of the more useful tools are described in t. 2, Chap. 1. Jigs 11, For the assembly of tube-block sections or complete tube-blocks for the tubular type oil cooler, box jigs of suitable shape and dimensions are necessary. For repair work, simple but strongly-constructed wooden jigs, such as those deseribed in Sect. 2, Chap. 1, pare. 9 are usually adequate. Parts and materials 12, The following parts and materials will be required for the repair operations and tests described in this chapter. In addition, spares provisioned for the repair of particular makes and types of cooler are listed in the appropriate chapters. All lists are included as a guide only, and when any item is requisitioned reference should be made to the appropriate section of A.P.1086 which may include supplementary information, Stores Ref.

All leaks should be located and marked, and damage to the case or to external fittings noted. 14. A general survey of the component should be made to determine the extent of the repair work necessary and to decide whether it is advisable to undertake it, This decision must depend upon the facilities at the disposal of the Repair Unit concerned, the availability of replacement, and the urgency with which the particular component is required for service. De-greasing and cleaning 15. The cooler should be thoroughly cleaned internally and externally by immersion in the de-greasing tank, followed by scrubbing, until all oil, paint, and dirt are removed. De- greasing and cleaning operations are of the utmost importance, first to ensure that leaks and other faults are revealed by subsequent tests, and secondly, to make sure that soldering and other repair operations are successfully completed. Warning. —Any aluminium fittings must be removed from the cooler before it is placed in the de-greasing solution, when caustic soda is used as the detergent. ‘Hot water wash 16. Immerse the cooler in the hot water bath and wash thoroughly to remove the de- greasing solution. The temperature of the water should be approximately 65°C. Internal air pressure test 17. To locate leakage, the cooler should be connected by one of its branches to a supply of compressed air all other openings being sealed. The cooler should then be immersed in water This leaf issued with A.L, No. 12 A.P.2850A, Vol. II, Part 3, Sect. 4, Chap. 1 November, 1945 ‘at approximately 40°C., and air supplied until the pressure indicated on the data plate of the cooler is obtained. The air pressure should be applied gradually, and if air is taken from a high-pressure source a regulator should be fitted for this purpose. Coolers which are parts of composite assemblies should be adequately supported at points which are normally strengthened by the presence of other units.
