The Harshest Drying Job There Is
Ship and marine wash-disinfection-drying operates in salt spray, high humidity and constant vibration — the most demanding environment for any heat exchanger. The core has to survive or it is a liability.
Cores Built for the Sea
- 316L stainless or polymer (PP) cores: fully resistant to salt spray and brine.
- Recover heat from warm wash-exhaust to preheat drying air and cut fuel at sea or in port.
- Robust frames and washable surfaces suit marine maintenance cycles.
Applications
- Vessel hull and deck wash-disinfection drying.
- Marine equipment and container wash-down heat recovery.
Equip your vessel with our salt-proof heat exchangers. More niche cases are in the Applications & Solutions hub, and our engineers can specify a marine-rated core.
Marine-Grade Detailing
At sea the core must shrug off salt spray, high humidity and constant vibration, so the choice is 316L stainless for washable durability or a polymer core for total brine immunity, picked on lifecycle cost and maintenance access rather than sticker price. Build the frame to absorb vibration without cracking the joints, keep a drain for the condensate it drops, and use washable surfaces that fit the vessel's maintenance cycle, because a core that cannot be cleaned onboard is a liability mid-voyage. Recover heat from the warm wash-exhaust to preheat drying air and cut fuel both at sea and in port, and confirm the rating against marine classification where the vessel requires it. For specifiers, ask for the salt-spray test result and the vibration or shock rating in writing, since those two numbers decide whether the core survives the environment or becomes a recurring replacement cost.
Lifecycle View
Price the core on lifecycle and maintenance access rather than sticker, choosing 316L for washable durability or polymer for total brine immunity based on how the vessel is actually serviced at sea. Build the frame to absorb vibration without cracking the joints and keep a drain for condensate, because a core that cannot be cleaned onboard is a liability mid-voyage. Ask for the salt-spray test result and the vibration or shock rating in writing, since those two numbers decide survival, and confirm marine classification where the vessel requires it so the specification passes survey the first time rather than after a costly rejection.
