A marine heat exchanger is a specialized device used on boats and ships to transfer heat from the engine coolant to seawater or freshwater, helping to regulate engine temperature without exposing internal components to corrosive seawater. It functions similarly to a radiator in a car but is adapted for marine environments.
Typically, a marine heat exchanger consists of a shell-and-tube or plate-type design, where hot engine coolant flows through one set of passages and cooler seawater flows through another. The two fluids do not mix; instead, heat is transferred through metal surfaces separating them. This setup protects the engine by allowing a closed-loop cooling system, using seawater only as an external cooling medium.
Marine heat exchangers are essential in inboard engine cooling systems, marine generators, and onboard HVAC units, ensuring efficient operation and preventing overheating. They are constructed from corrosion-resistant materials li
