Keep your vessel’s charge air coolers clean

Is your vessel operating near the coast? Are your engine’s charge air coolers becoming clogged with dust, dirt and other contaminants? The charge air filter upgrade from Wärtsilä helps keep your vessel’s charge air coolers clean, which will improve the charge air quality – and thus also the engine room air quality. This helps to extend the lifetime of your engine and protect your crew members.

The charge air filter upgrade is a durable and cost-efficient solution if you want to: 

  • improve engine charge air and engine room air quality, and 
  • ensure high-quality filtration of charge air cooler contaminants. 

The upgrade setup has been extensively tested and is humidity and water resistant. Because it has no moving parts, it is also easy to maintain. Only the filter elements require replacement.

Choose a charge air filter upgrade from Wärtsilä if you want to:

  • extend the lifetime of your engine
  • protect your engine room crew
  • decrease fuel and operating costs.

The Charge air filter upgrade from Wärtsilä complies with the ISO ePM10 60% and EN 779:2012: M6 standards.

Who is the Charge air filter upgrade for?

The Wärtsilä Charge air filter upgrade is ideal for ferries, gas carriers, dredgers and tugs operating close to the shore, where the air is more likely to be dirty or dusty.

The upgrade is suitable for all Wärtsilä 4-stroke engines. It is an ideal solution if your vessel has no engine room air filtration, or if you want to improve the effectiveness of your existing filtration system.

Three powerful benefits

The Wärtsilä Charge air filter upgrade will give you three powerful benefits.

Extends the lifetime of your equipment

The Wärtsilä Charge air filter upgrade helps keep your vessel engine’s charge air coolers free from contaminants, which extends the lifetime of your engine and protects your engine room crew.

The upgrade components are humidity and water resistant, which reduces corrosion in ducts and downstream equipment. This can help further extend the lifetime of your equipment.

 

Saves money

The dirtier the air passing through your engine, the harder the engine has to work and the more fuel it will consume. The Wärtsilä Charge air filter upgrade keeps your charge air coolers cleaner for longer. This helps save fuel, which cuts your operating costs.

Because the filter prevents dust and dirt from entering the engine room, the room stays cleaner as well. Less cleaning can bring you further savings.

 

Makes maintenance easier

Because the upgrade setup has no moving parts, it is easy to maintain. Only the filter elements require replacement.

How does the Wärtsilä Charge air filter upgrade work?

The Wärtsilä Charge air filter upgrade is a durable and cost-efficient solution for marine applications. Thanks to its leakproof, welded and tear-resistant design, it helps keep your equipment in shape – even under extreme conditions.

The upgrade consists of:

  • Wärtsilä dry pocket filters
  • Assembly frames
  • Installation-specific mounting profiles

The standard package includes delivery of parts and components as well as installation.

Because the upgrade setup has no moving parts, it is easy to maintain. Only the filter elements require replacement.

The Wärtsilä Charge air filter upgrade has been tested on Wärtsilä engines. It also complies with the ISO ePM10 60% and EN 779:2012: M6 standards.

The upgrade can be sold separately from or together with the Wärtsilä Delta cleaner.
