MARINE
Oceans may be the harshest naturally occurring environments on the planet. Constant, unrelenting exposure to temperature extremes, salt air and spray, moisture and the pounding of turbulent seas are what separate marine operations challenges from those of land-based facilities.
Although different than warmer waters, cooler (and even arctic) locations, as well as freshwater, offer unique and challenging conditions that must be addressed. And the ships and platforms that operate in these extreme conditions can’t afford to be offline or shut down, even for a few hours. Hartzell marine market solutions and products address these factors so you don’t have to.
Market Challenges
Designed to perform in wet, humid, corrosive environments
We proactively leverage our creative design and savvy application expertise to provide products that combat your most pressing operational ventilation challenges.
SAFETY
Personnel safety—from less than optimal internal air quality in engine rooms and cabins and the risks of spark and fire—as well as performing routine maintenance, pressurization of machinery spaces so heavy water-tight doors are safely opened and closed, noise mitigation and containment are top priorities in marine applications.
SPACE LIMITATIONS
Adequate air movement equipment solutions must be designed to work effectively within the limited footprint of marine facilities. Avoiding additional accessories like silencers saves space on a vessel. Multiple mounting arrangements also save space.
SERVICE DIFFICULTIES
Remote locations, mobility of the vessel and downtime are important service-related issues. All of these are extremely costly to the owner/operator. Down fans mean service hassles and production losses.
