Weka Marine - Box Coolers
Weka Marine - Box Coolers
WEKA box coolers are compact and powerful, offering efficient engine cooling in a simple, space-saving design. Suitable for a wide range of vessel types.
The aluminium brass box coolers are used throughout the marine market and are mainly selected for their strength. This alloy requires a protective phenolic, heat-cured coating and is combined with a protection system to ensure corrosion resistance against seawater and to prevent marine growth. Due to the coating, the box cooler is protected against galvanic corrosion while maintaining its high heat transfer capability.
Weka’s signature box cooler is constructed using uncoated 90/10 copper-nickel tubing. This alloy does not require a protective coating or ICAF (impressed Current Anti-Fouling) system due to its inherent corrosion resistance to seawater and natural anti-fouling capabilities. To protect the uncoated boxcoolers against potential stray current corrosion, a WEKA Guard™ and WEKA Protector™ system are applied. This exclusive design is successfully utilized in hundreds of vessels in fresh and saltwater applications worldwide.
Another copper-nickel cooling solution is the uncoated 70/30 copper-nickel box cooler. The 30% nickel alloy is stronger and can withstand higher seawater velocities, compared to the 90-10 alloy and does also not require a protective coating or ICAF (impressed Current Anti-Fouling) system due to its inherent corrosion resistance to seawater and natural anti-fouling capabilities.
To protect the uncoated box coolers against potential stray current corrosion, a WEKA Guard™ and WEKA Protector™ system are applied. This exclusive design is successfully utilized in specific cooling projects worldwide.
