Box coolers are in constant contact with outdoor water and are therefore
susceptible to biological fouling. A layer of
of biofilm and organisms, which directly affects heat transfer.
Because box coolers are located outside the hull, inspection and cleaning are limited and often possible only during docking.
SmartFlow prevents fouling and contamination at the source. The system transmits ultrasonic sound waves through the box coolers, creating continuous vibrations on the surface. These vibrations disrupt the adhesion of microorganisms, preventing biofilm or scale from forming on the interior surface.
The system runs continuously in the background and keeps the cooling system clean without the use of chemicals. This keeps pipes, strainer baskets, and coolers free of fouling and ensures that the system continues to function optimally.
A clean cooling system ensures that engines and equipment continue to operate reliably under all conditions. Cooling performance remains consistent, without any decline, while the risk of malfunctions caused by contamination is significantly reduced. As a result, unexpected downtime in critical systems is prevented, and there is less reliance on manual maintenance.
This ensures that the cooling system continues to operate stably and greatly reduces the risk of overheating and shutdown.
A sustainable choice: SmartFlow operates entirely without chemicals. No toxic substances and no environmental impact from cleaning. You’ll comply with the strictest environmental regulations and reduce your ship’s ecological footprint.
