The WEKA boxcoolers are installed in all types of river and seagoing ships as well as in stationary vessels, dredgers and pontoons.

Due to mounting water pollution hence the increased wear of cooling sytems, a closed circuit cooling system became necessary. The solution was and still is the boxcooler.

The principle is based on the fact, that warm water by its lower density rises, thus causing a thermosiphon circulation.

Weka Copper Nickel boxcoolers have bol- ted connections Isolated from hull structure.
