Gordon Berryman
Marine EngineerMy experience with the infusion system from HTRI on marine plate heat exchangers helped the vessel improve efficiency due to increased heat transfer from cleaner coolers and the reduced differential pressure om the S/W pumping system. Not only is the infusion system easy to install into an existing system, but it also reduces the maintenance hours to maintain a conventional marine heat exchanger system.
