S&W has almost 18 years' experience in manufacturing marine main and auxiliary diesel engine charge air coolers for new engines such as B&W, Cegielski, Kawasaki, MAN B&W, Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sulzer, Wartsila and many more. This experience has provided us with a profound insight into the complex issues of marine diesel engine OEM charge air cooling systems and, together with our design capabilities and in-house test facilities, attests S&W’s long list of global clientele.
S & W has a reliable and huge inventory level for the tubesheet, tubes and fin strips materials at its warehouse enabling a quick delivery meeting customers’ tight schedule for replacement. |

The charge air cooler (or scavenging air intercooler) is located between the turbo charger and the engine air inlet manifold and is used to reduce the air inlet temperature thereby increasing air density thus giving an increase in engine efficiency.
Since seawater is the usual cooling medium, we use high quality materials to ensure a long serviceable life. Leaking or damaged charge air coolers can cause loss of power, increased emissions, increased fuel consumption and increased exhaust temperatures leading to excessive engine wear/damage. The air cooler is therefore an integral part of any turbo charged diesel engine.
To avoid dirt accumulation in the fins caused due to years of operation, S&W exclusively and strategically provides narrow recess space in between the fin rows. The provision of this allowance eliminates any unwanted airborne contamination precipitates in these fins and hence, giving extra shelf life and air cooler performance. |
