WEKA Boxcooler (US-built)
Uncoated 90/10 CuNi sea-chest box cooler built in the US under Fernstrum's WEKA partnership; no coating or ICAF required.
Fernstrum builds WEKA Boxcoolers in the United States for the Americas in partnership with WEKA Marine. The cooler is a closed-circuit tube bundle mounted in the vessel's sea chest. Its tubes are uncoated 90/10 copper-nickel, whose natural corrosion and fouling resistance removes the need for a protective coating or an ICAF system. Units can serve one or several heat sources. They come in athwartship, longitudinal, bottom-mount and stepped (space-saving) layouts, and a removable bonnet allows service without dry-docking. The catalogue gives cooling capability for engines up to 10,000 kW.
