superior cooling capability

Electric motors are used across marine systems — from propulsion and pumping to cargo handling and auxiliary functions. These motors can be air-cooled or liquid-cooled depending on their duty and power level. 

Where compact design and high efficiency are required, liquid cooling is preferred for both motors and associated power electronics. Water-cooled motors provide superior cooling capabilities, ensuring optimal performance and extended motor life 

Cooling requirements

Large electric motors operating under high load for long durations require active cooling to avoid overheating and insulation breakdown. Cooling systems must respond quickly to load changes and maintain consistent motor temperature. Cooling systems should be compact with minimal footprint.

Closed-loop liquid cooling application:

Motors with internal coolant channels are connected to a closed liquid cooling loop, with heat rejected to the vessel’s technical water system via a water-to-water heat exchanger or a dry cooler for localized solutions.

Adwatec solution

Adwatec provides a series of effective DNV type-approved cooling stations for the closed-loop systems with high cooling performance within a small footprint. Adwatec cooling stations are pre-engineered, highly productized units providing high reliability. Adwatec cooling stations withstand the marine environmental conditions, like vibration and can handle the variable load changes maintaining stable temperatures in the cooling circuit. Redundant pump options increase the reliability of the system.
