Salt mist and spray entering your marine engine room space can have some devastating effects on not only your major equipment but other components that are integral in maintaining optimal operating conditions.

The knock on effect can put your entire propulsion system under undue stress. By allowing excessive salt spray into your engine room, other important components can be seriously affected. These fan images were provided to us by a client who not only needed to install air intake grilles, but to replace these very expensive engine room fans. The corrosion is very clear and despite the efforts by crew to keep the engine room as clean as they could, these fans lasted only half their expected life span. 

Using Intake Grilles will not only protect your large equipment but also items like fans that keep your whole environment cool. If they fail, your engine and generators can be operating under extreme heat conditions which in turn shortens their life span.
