Cool on all the 7 seas of the world
The tonnage to be realised in shipbuilding will notably grow over the next few decades. Outlooks prove the growth in worldwide trading over the seas. Cruise ships and high speed ferries will expect more and more passengers. Another trend are special-purpose ships as well as special constructions for raw material exploration and offshore technology (excavators, drilling platforms etc.). At the same time, the regulations governing the safety of ships and maritime environmental protection are becoming more stringent. As such, profitability for the ship owners becomes a crucial factor, and shipyards demand increasingly efficient solutions maximising safety and minimising operating costs with integrated control systems.

The cooling of ships engines requires a large number of different components, such as the plate heat exchangers of GEA Ecoflex. This illustration shows an exemplary function sequence. Solutions deviating from this are feasible without problems, thanks to the variety of sizes of the plate heat exchangers and their flexibility. We would be pleased to give advice or to show you other individual solutions.
Centralised cooling system with separate low temperature (LT) and high temperature (HT) circuits.
Main engine
Aux. engine
Marine approvals
Plate heat exchangers manufactured by GEA Ecoflex are readily approved by the leading international ship classification bodies.
HT central coolers
LT central coolers

At the time of the installation of the ships engine, the GEA Ecoflex plate heat exchangers are also installed. Depending on the design, the system can assume many tasks regarding the cooling and/or heating of all types of fluids. Typical applications include: Central cooling of the main or auxiliary engines or turbines Lubrication oil cooling Recooling of circulated water which cools cylinders, pistons, injection nozzles, valves and generators Cooling of gearing oil, compressor oil and other lubricants Pre-heating of lubrication oil and heavy fuel oil Pre-heating of sea water for fresh water generation Heat recovery Heat exchange to air-condition the passengers cabins and freight spaces
Even the machinery room of Queen Mary 2, the most prestigious cruise liner of the world, built at ALSTOM Marine, Saint Nazaire, France, is equipped with GEA Ecoflex plate heat exchangers, particularly with our NT 150 units.
VARITHERM
Extremely variable in its capacity, profile and material selection Heat exchanger surfaces from 0.1 to 2,000 m2 per unit Flow quantities up to 3,600 m3/h per unit Space and weight saving due to a particularly compact design
Complete solution
Upon customer request, GEA Ecoflex fully equip the cooling units with control components (thermometer, pressure gauges etc.).
Economic seals
Here GEA Ecoflex offers the non-adhesive systems EcoLoc or LocIn which permit short down times while reducing your maintenance costs. On request, these seals are, of course, also available in the glue-in version. For technical details on all product groups, please refer to our separate leaflets.
