Merchant vessels, also known as merchant ships or merchant marine vessels, are ships primarily engaged in commercial activities such as transporting cargo and passengers, as opposed to military or government vessels. These ships play a crucial role in global trade and transportation, facilitating the movement of goods and people across oceans, seas, and waterways.

Applications in the merchant vessel industry

Clean fuel engines

Clean fuel engines combined with efficient heat exchangers represent a significant advancement in making container vessels more sustainable. These technologies not only comply with stringent environmental regulations but also enhance fuel efficiency and operational performance.

Engine cooling

Marine engines in various vessels face tough conditions and produce a lot of heat. Cooling systems are crucial to dissipate this heat, avoiding overheating, potential engine failure, and expensive repairs. Heat exchangers play a key role in preventing overheating and maintaining efficiency.

HVAC systems

Heat exchangers play a critical role in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems onboard merchant vessels. They transfer heat between different fluid streams to regulate the temperature and humidity levels in accommodation areas and control rooms.
