A first meeting with Mr Zélada Desgagnés, the
Groupe Desgagnés's deputy commissioning manager, aroused
immediate interest for Gotar. He then entrusted to M. Patrick
Chabot, the operation department's chief steward, the care
to experiment Gotar products to clean a cooling system.
This seawater supplied cooler is secured to the turbo. It
cools the air that is flowing on the other side. An adequate
exchange of heat between both sides allows the engines to
stay at a normal temperature.
To gain access to the inside of the cooler, it is necessary
to detach it from the turbo. A visual inspection is generally
enough to observe the scaling caused by the calcareous deposits
inside the tubing. It is well known that the reduction of
the thermic exchange in the cooler may cause the engines to
overheat.
After coupling hoses on the entry and outflow of the cooler,
we circulate the Gotar-D product in closed circuit. By maintaining
a cycle which alternates rest periods and circulation periods
during three hours, we were able to clean completely the inside
of the cooler.
The air side of the cooler was clogged up with carbon deposits
on the fins located outside the tubing. By way of immersion
or of spraying, we were able to take off all these deposits
in less than an hour with our degreaser, the Gotar-DG.
Gotar's products can equally decalcify or descale other costly
equipment found on ships like: boilers, condensers, dryers,
heat exchangers and tubing, to name only a few. The work is
done on location, and generally without having to disassemble
the equipment.
We want to thank the Groupe Desgagnés, considered
one of the 50 best managed private companies in Canada, for
having accepted to test our products on their equipment.
