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 supplied the Water Mist Catchers for the world’s biggest dual-fuel, low speed ship engine

China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) released the world’s biggest dual-fuel, low–speed engine WinGD X92DF for modern and large vessels.

The engine, certificated by BV, is developed by Winterthur Gas & Diesel (WinGD), a subsidiary of CSSC, and manufactured by CSSC-MES Diesel Co., Ltd, a joint venture established by CSSC and Japans Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding.

The new engine will enable Chinese built Vessels to have a stronger “heart”, said CSSC.

The WinGD X92DF adopts low-pressure, dual-fuel technology to run vessels efficiently, effectively and safely on gas, in addition to conventional heavy-fuel oil or diesel oil, fulfilling Tier III emissions reduction requirements. The remote intelligent monitoring platform connecting the engine will realize remote support through effective predictions.

WinGD X92DF marks the capability of research and development, manufacture and service of CSSC has come to a new level, and will inject new power to global shipbuilding industry, said Lei Fanpei, chairman of CSSC.
