Cooling Water Systems and Treatment
Because a cooling water system is an essential part of a diesel engine, a carefully managed water treatment program is essential for its efficient operation, and is critical to a ship's well being.
During combustion, gas temperatures are extremely high, and without proper cooling the engine will eventually malfunction. To prevent overheating, engines are typically cooled with water. It is important to protect the engine by using distilled water that has been treated with a corrosion inhibitor. Corrosion inhibitors create a barrier between the water and the metal or create a protective film to strengthen the metal from being attacked.
We provide an assortment of cooling water treatment chemicals along with information on applications, controls and dosage requirements for each product.
These cooling water treatment chemicals include:
- DEWT® NC diesel engine water treatment
- MAXIGARD® diesel engine water treatment
- LIQUIDEWT™ cooling water treatment
- DREWGARD® CWT diesel engine water treatment
The water treatment program is monitored with a few simple tests, and the control tests are the basis on which the chemical dosage is adjusted.
