Lamers System Care does not publish a list price for SMART FLOW; commercial box-cooler systems with ultrasone transducers are quoted to specification via lscare.nl. Leisure yacht kit prices that dominate search results are not SMART FLOW figures — ask Lamers System Care for a SMART FLOW offerte rather than scaling a webshop SKU onto a commercial vessel.
Short answer
SMART FLOW (also written SmartFlow on lscare.nl) is a vessel-specific layout of ultrasone transducers on box coolers and sea chests, plus bonding and monitoring — not a one-box leisure kit. LSC states on lscare.nl that SMART FLOW asks a higher initial investment than many traditional solutions, after which running cost drops to almost zero except yearly coupling compound; it does not publish euro CAPEX, OPEX or kWh. Yacht-versus-commercial is therefore a specification question, not a catalogue number.
What a commercial box-cooler quote actually contains
A SMART FLOW enquiry at Lamers System Care is built around transducer count on the cooler and sea chest, epoxy bonding and the SMART FLOW Portal — not hull length in metres. SMART FLOW is configurable from 1 to 12 ultrasone transducers. Wooden or sandwich hulls that transmit ultrasound poorly are a leisure-hull problem; a commercial box cooler is metal, which is the design intent.
- Leisure sets typically bundle a control box, a few hull transducers, epoxy and a DIY install — that is not a SMART FLOW commercial quote.
- Commercial box coolers need a vessel-specific dry-side layout of ultrasone transducers plus monitoring.
- Do not scale a yacht webshop price onto a box cooler; ask LSC for a SMART FLOW quote on lscare.nl.
Why the commercial pitch is higher CAPEX, lower OPEX — without published euros
On commercial box coolers the comparison is prevention of heat-transfer loss, not a hull coating cycle. Lamers System Care therefore positions SMART FLOW as a higher initial investment with lower recurring operating cost than anode-and-docking or paint routines — without publishing euro figures for that OPEX. Stay qualitative and request the offerte.
