What Are The Advantages Of Marine Engine Heat Exchanger Box Cooler?
Marine engine heat exchanger box cooler has the following advantages:
Simple and compact structure: it consists of water tank, spacer gasket, tube plate, mounting gasket, mounting flange and tube bundle, etc. The overall structure is relatively simple without complicated internal structure and excessive parts, occupies little space, and is easy to be installed and arranged in the limited space of the ship.
Easy installation: it can be directly installed on the top plate of the submarine door by welding, etc. The installation process is relatively easy and does not require complicated installation process and a large number of installation tools, which saves installation time and manpower cost.
Save cabin space: Due to its compact structure and easy installation, there is no need to arrange complicated cooling seawater system inside the ship, which can effectively save cabin space and provide more space for other equipment and operation.
Low running cost:
Energy saving: No secondary cooling water piping outside the ship is used, so there is no need for additional cooling water pumps, filters, valves, pipelines and other components that require maintenance, reducing the energy consumption and maintenance costs of the equipment. For example, in a conventional cooling water system, a secondary pump of about 15 kW consumes about 3 litres of oil per hour, and using a box cooler saves 15,000 litres of oil based on an average of 5,000 hours of operation per year.
Not easy to corrode and attached sea life: compared with some complex cooling systems, the box cooler structure is simple, seawater directly in the box for heat exchange, reducing the corrosion of seawater on the piping and other components, but also not easy to attach sea life, reducing the corrosion and seaweed attached to the equipment damage caused by the frequency of repair and maintenance, saving maintenance costs.
High reliability: the structure is relatively simple, no need to dismantle the pipe bundle in internal inspection and test, which is convenient for daily maintenance and inspection, and no matter what kind of situation can ensure its stable working performance, with good reliability and durability, and can be operated stably for a long period of time under the harsh marine environment.
Strong applicability: It is suitable for many types of vessels, such as small tugboats, barges, fishing vessels, dredgers, supply vessels, ferries, cargo ships, oil tankers, refrigerated vessels, icebreakers, etc., which can meet the cooling needs of different types of vessels.
Good cooling effect: The integrated U-shaped tube bundle is expanded to the tube plate, which increases the heat exchange area and can effectively realise heat exchange, so that the temperature of the engine coolant can be rapidly reduced to ensure that the engine works at a suitable temperature, and safeguard the performance and life of the engine. Moreover, the core tube is also equipped with semi-circular deflector plates arranged at intervals in the direction of straight and curved surfaces, which strengthens the fluidity of fresh water and thus improves the cooling effect of the heat exchanger .
Strong pollution resistance: It is most suitable for operation in ice, narrow muddy or polluted areas, such as some inland seas and inland waterways and other areas with complicated environments, and the box cooler can better adapt to these conditions to ensure that the cooling function is played normally.
