Salt spray and mist in your engine room has traditionally been one of the most difficult issues to control. Now with Marine Air Flow moisture reducing air intake grilles, you can remove the problem altogether. Damage such as blown turbo's, blocked air filters, wide spread corrosion and degradation of your valuable engine room equipment can now be avoided.
Features of our air handling units include, reduced damage to valuable plant and engine room components, custom made to suit your unique vessel requirements, no moving parts for affordable maintenance and they are supplied with a full installation kit and instructions.
Using engine induction or engine room fans, the moisture laden external air supply is drawn through our grille, passing through a complex system of vanes in the process. This action removes the moisture laden molecules from the air, leaving behind a considerably fresher air supply inducted into your engine room.
Air Intake Grille Sizes and Shapes
While we do have some standard sizes and shapes for our intake grilles, a lot of our projects are custom shapes to suit vesells and client requirements. View some of the unique sizes and shapes of Air Intake Grilles we've made to date.
Please note however that the size of the grille (or grilles) you require, is directly related to how much air you need, the size of your engine room and its components.
