Marine Heat Exchangers
Marine heat exchangers are heat exchangers and cooling systems for boats and other nautical vehicles. To make a simple comparison, a marine heat exchanger is the marine version of the cooling system that is found in a car. In a marine heat exchanger, the radiator in the boat's engine is replaced with a "liquid to liquid" heat exchanger. Sea water, instead of air, passes through the heat exchanger and absorbs the heat from the engine coolant and is then discharged overboard.
Marine heat exchangers are advantageous for many reasons. They simplify winterizing, eliminate corrosion and debris damage, reduce long-term engine damage, and prevent damage from salt and "hard" fresh water from eating away at a boat's engine. Marine heat exchangers also ensure longer engine life and easy excess heat transfer from the engine into the boat's cabin. The purchase of a marine heat exchanger will not only improve the durability and performance of a boat's engine, but will also provide long-term time and cost savings for the owner.
