Boxcooler

Boxcoolers are always potential victims for fouling (marine growth). Barnacles, mussels, algae and other types of shellfish grow on the boxcooler and thus affect its function. Ships operating in coastal water run the greatest risk.

Our Impressed Current Anti-Fouling (ICAF) system / Marine Growth Protection System (MGPS) is a guarantee to effectively prevent this kind of fouling.

The functioning principle is based on an artificially triggered voltage difference between the copper anodes and the integrated steel plate cathodes. As the copper dissolves into the sea water, an ambient environment is created precluding fouling and protecting the boxcoolers. The Power Unit of the system ensures that the copper anodes add the exact required amount of copper particles to the seawater.

Perfect protection is guaranteed under all conditions and the amount of dissolved copper is minimized to prolong the lifetime of the anodes. This way the functioning of the boxcooler will always be optimal. For more information about fouling protection of boxcoolers, seachests and strainers please don’t hesitate to contact us.
