For over 80 years, Bowman has provided efficient cooling solutions to the marine industry with quality heat exchangers, renowned worldwide for their performance and durability.
Now with the drive towards reducing CO2 emissions, Bowman is again at the forefront of cooling technology, providing a range of high performance heat exchangers to suit the demands of both electric and hybrid marine propulsion systems.
Electric Marine Propulsion Systems
With battery technology constantly improving, electric powered propulsion systems, offering 100 kW and beyond are now a reality for an increasing range of marine applications.
For such applications, cooling requirements can include the battery pack and on-board charger (where fitted), AC-DC converter, DC-DC converter, plus the electric drive motor itself.
Hybrid Marine Propulsion Systems
For hybrid power systems, there may be additional equipment to be cooled, such as the hybrid control unit, the combined electric motor/generator, plus the engine itself.
However, one important issue is the amount of heat generated, which must be controlled within pre-determined limits, to ensure the propulsion system operates reliably and efficiently.
As many electric and hybrid propulsion systems are designed to operate with sea water temperatures up to 35 °C, attention must be paid to the cooling system and here Bowman can provide an efficient, marine specification solution to suit virtually any application.
Proven in ‘Leading Edge’ Electric and Hybrid Installations
Bowman heat exchangers have successfully completed sea trials with some of the world’s leading manufacturers of electric and hybrid propulsion systems and are proven to provide an efficient, reliable cooling solution, even when used with sea water of 35 °C on 100 kW plus propulsion systems.
