Car Carrier Cooling: Barnacles Gone, No Chemicals

Home 9 Case Studies and Results 9 Car Carrier Cooling: Barnacles Gone, No Chemicals
Key results
0 barnacles on plates
0 chemicals used
13 month trial period

The Challenges

  • Large amount of barnacles on cooling plates
  • Reduced water flow lowering cooling efficiency
  • Particle filter covered with attached barnacles
  • Manual scrubbing damaging the filter

The Solution

One HydroFLOW® Marine Custom 12″ unit was fitted to the seawater feed pipe of Main Cooling System #2 in 2011. The signal disrupts the conditions that allow marine life to attach and grow, so only a thin, easily removable slime layer remained at inspection.

Plates found clean of barnacles at inspection

R

Particle filter clean and easy to wash

R

Only a thin slime layer, easily washed away
