When people talk about charge air coolers most would be thinking of the above photo, air to air cooling for a turbo diesel.
But this unit above is the cooler I'm talking about. It fits a piece of fire suppression equipment belonging to the US NAVY on the Coronado Navel Base here ion San Diego. This unit was severely under engineered so we built them one to take its place that would preform better and keep the engine cooler.
This is an air to water cooler that pumps salt water from the ocean through tube inside the shell where the turbo air is circulated to transfer the heat out to the sea.
Here is the Cummings diesel that powers the fire suppression.
And these are the turbines that pump sea water to outside fire lines that would put any fires out.
The above picture is a comparison of the before and
after, the black cooler is the new one we designed.
Notice the difference in dimensions almost double the size.
The new cooler was also a lot heaver than the old one by about 4 times, the original one man could lift and the replacement too 5 of us to set it in place.
There it is in place and almost ready to fire up. All that's left is to plumb the turbo air to the cooler.
Have questions? give us a call we are always glad to help out. David
