Box coolers can efficiently cool engines on vessels using only a limited space. But one drawback is that box coolers suffer heavily from fouling and can normally not be cleaned without docking the vessel. Standard box-cooler protection against fouling is copper based. Seeย Shipsonic ย earlier post introducing a comparative study between these copper based systems and our ultrasonic system.ย This comparison and numerous research projects have resulted in Shipsonic now being rec

In this brochureย Shipsonic ย gives a cost comparison between USAF (ultrasonic anti-fouling) and ICAF (impressed current anti-fouling). USAF is often perceived as more costly. However, if you consider the life-time of Shipsonicโs USAF systems, they work out much more economical. Of course, there are many other reasons to prefer Shipsonicโs USAF: no through hull wiring, no risk of galvanic corrosion. And last but not least; USAF is poison free and forgoes substantial pollution

Microphone holder for sound pressure meter
This is a steel holder that fits the microphone of the UltraTester precisely and is filled with a special liquid. The strong magnet at the bottom of the holder pulls it against the surface to be tested, even in hard-to-reach places. This provides a very accurate and reliable reading of the sound pressure level (SPL), valuable information for the further development of our product.
