Closed-Circuit Condenser Water: Eliminating the Need for Raw Water RSW
Exploring alternatives, we considered a transom condenser but ultimately decided to collaborate with IMS on a new approach—one that would ensure consistent heat transfer and optimal pressures under all conditions. Working with Dick Smitha, IMS engineers, and the North River team, we developed a closed-circuit condenser water system utilizing two additional keel coolers. To ensure flexibility, we also incorporated a bypass, allowing for both raw water and closed-circuit cooling.
Understanding Heat Dynamics in Fish Tanks: Is Your Refrigeration System Ready?
Determining the amount of refrigeration needed to chill or freeze a ton of fish caught in an hour or a day is not difficult, but have you determined what amount of refrigeration is lost attempting to chill your fish tank itself? This can also be calculated, and the answer is often surprising.
Diesel Drive Refrigeration and Clean Fuel: Ensuring Optimal Performance
Filtration: Essential for Clean Fuel
A typical fuel filtration system includes a primary fuel filter before the fuel pump and a secondary fuel filter after the fuel pump. Many are familiar with Racor-type water removal filters used as primary filters, but not everyone knows how they work.
Exploring the Impact of Vibration on Marine Electrical
In the realm of marine refrigeration systems, vibrations are an inevitable reality. Whether stemming from the components within the system itself or external factors such as the motion of the vessel or equipment mounted on board, understanding the potential effects of vibrations is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and longevity of refrigeration systems, particularly those utilizing Refrigerated Seawater (RSW) systems.
Navigating the Depths of Marine Condenser Fouling: Challenges and Solutions
Keeping your condenser clean is necessary to maintain the efficiency of your system and prolong the life of your equipment. Fouling occurs when materials, such as algae or silt, accumulate on the heat-exchange surface.
