Forced coolant systems using a mixture of glycol and water are the most common for natural gas compressors. Normally, the compressor cylinder cooling system and compressor frame lube oil cooling system is combined. A single pump is used to circulate the coolant through the cylinders and the lube oil heat exchanger and then to an aerial cooler where the heat is dissipated.

The provision of a separate oil cooler will reduce condenser load by the amount of heat lost to the oil and removed in the oil cooler. This is of special note with twin-screw compressors, where a high proportion of the compressor energy is taken away in the oil. This proportion varies with the exact method of oil cooling, and figures should be obtained from the compressor manufacturer for a particular application. 

The membrane is a dynamic assembly and things are diffusing rapidly in the plane of the bilayer. The middle of the bilayer has been likened to olive oil. As with oil, cooling the lipid bilayer will cause the hydrocarbons to become more ordered (structured). The side chains pack closer to each other, and the fluidity of the membrane is lower. Things that disrupt the ability of the side chains to pack in a regular fashion make the membrane more fluid (Fig. 3-4). These include high temperature, lipids with shorter chains (double bonds. The shorter lipids and the m-double bonds cause the occurrence of holes (packing defects).

It is believed that asphaltic compounds within these heavy oils may be better distributed by high-temperature preheating. Distribution of these compounds may interfere with the formation of an organized wax lattice throughout the oil matrix as the oil cools. The result would be a pour point which is lower than that for an unheated or mildly heated oil. 

Oil processing is accomplished in four parallel trains of three stage separation to restove solution gas followed by an electrostatic coalescer for oil dehydration, and finally, oil cooling for stabiliza-tion and pipeline temperature control at 145°F (63°C).
