Keeping Container Ships Running Cool & Efficient
At MechPro, we understand how critical Central Fresh Water (CFW) coolers are to the safe and efficient operation of large vessels. These heat exchangers are the bridge between a ship’s closed-loop freshwater system and the seawater cooling circuit—ensuring main engines, auxiliary engines, and other vital systems stay within safe operating temperatures.
We recently completed the overhaul of three CFW coolers on a container ship, each holding 179 plates. During the project, our team:
- Performed full disassembly and cleaning
- Completed de-scaling to restore proper heat transfer
- Rebuilt areas of frame erosion with epoxy
- Applied protective coatings to ensure long-term performance
Central Fresh Water Cooler Maintenance
Proper maintenance of CFW coolers prevents overheating, reduces downtime, and extends the life of both the cooler and the machinery it protects.
With over 15 years of experience in heat exchangers, plate rebuilds, and marine service, MechPro helps keep critical cooling systems in ship shape—whether in port, at sea, or in drydock.
