Integral Support | Vestas Aircoil

Integral Support – charge air coolers

Vestas produces its charge air coolers using a range of fin geometries.

There are details here of our Ultra Compact, Compact, Standard & Premium Tin Coated geometries.

One-piece construction – peace of mind

Any air cooler over a few hundred millimeters in length needs a proper support mechanism. The science behind the calculations that determine its requirement and position is complex, but the method is simple

In the same way as the tubes are roller expended into tube plates at either end of the charge air cooler, they are also mechanically bonded to support plates, strategically placed along the length of the air cooler.

The plates are then attached to the side panels. The precise position and method of attachment differs depending on the environment and is itself, the subject of complex design considerations.

In combination with MonoBloc – Vestas coolers are the most robust available.

Vestas aircoil supplies coolers for fast cargo/passenger ferry

Australian shipbuilders Austal and Incat Tasmania have ordered a total of eight MAN 16V28/33D STC engines in which Vestas supply Charge air coolers for.

Austal and Incat Tasmania are building the world’s fastest, efficient, environmentally clean, high speed ships. For the new project they have purchased the engines with the hope to build one fast ferry at each shipyard in Trinidad and Tobago.

Each vessel will be powered by four MAN 16V28/33D STC units this will help to provide high-speed passenger and vehicle operations on the Seabridge between both the islands.

The Austal vessel will be 94 m long and designed to carry 926 passengers and 250 cars at high speeds. The ship will be built in Austal’s new shipyard in Vung Tau, Vietnam.

Incat’s 100-m Vessel will be a new fast cargo/passenger ferry with the ability to cater for 1000 people and will carry 239 cars or a combination of trucks and cars. Incat will build the vessel at its shipyard in Tasmania, Australia.
