Charge air coolers (intercoolers) are cleaned, inspected, and repaired to restore charge air temperature and engine efficiency. Tube stacks are checked for blockage, cracking, and corrosion on both air and water sides. We work on units from a wide range of turbocharged marine and industrial diesel engines.
A fouled or damaged charge air cooler reduces the density of air entering the engine, reducing power output and increasing exhaust temperatures. In severe cases, water-side leaks can allow raw water to enter the air circuit and reach the engine's combustion chambers.
Our overhaul process addresses both the air and water sides of the cooler, restoring charge air temperature and ensuring the unit is leak-free before return to service.
