Blokland Cooling & Propulsion

Boxcoolers

Installed in the primary cooling circuit, boxcoolers obviate the need for raw water pumps, filters and piping systems and prevent the corrosion issues related to them.

Over the years different types of workboats, cargo vessels, fishing boats, ferries and dredgers have been using these coolers for main engines, generators and auxiliary systems.

Nowadays boxcoolers are not only used in modern fuel-saving and green fuel propulsion solutions, but are also part of the fuel saving measures.

Bottom Type Coolers

We supply bottom-type coolers for many applications, such as:
Cooling for small propulsion engines, generator sets, and for air conditioning.

The bottom-type cooler is an ideal cooling system for pleasure and commercial shipping. The steel box of the bottom-type cooler is placed inside against the hull bof the ship. As a result, the bottom remains completely smooth, so there are no protruding parts to damage or weed trays to clog.

Heat Exchangers / Oil Coolers

With heat exchangers from Blokland you make good use of the waste heat of your engine. The waste heat can be used to fully or partially heat your sleep- and living quarters by using a heat exchanger. The installation is simple and the installation costs are low.

The soldered coolers type 55, 75 & 90 are available in single and double circuit versions. The coolers with single circuit can be used as an oil cooler or heat exchanger. The coolers with double circuit are suitable for a combination of engine-oil cooler and gearbox cooler. The end caps are soldered.

Blokland is leading in the production and supply of Shell & Tube heat exchangers/oil coolers type 100, 140, 165, 200, 275 and 400. These coolers are suitable for water, water-glycol mixture and various oils. The tube stacks are removable for service and maintenance. Blokland has a wide range of competitively-priced heat exchangers. We have many heat exchangers in stock, which means short lead times.

Expansion Tanks

Every cooling system is equipped with an expansion tank. Blokland supplies standard expansion tanks with a capacity of 5, 10, 15, 24, 40, 60 and 80 liters from stock. These expansion tanks are equipped with a 1” or 2” BSP thread connection. The expansion tanks are supplied fully assembled with a pressure cap of 0.5 bar. A sight glass and level switch are used to inspect the tank. We are also able to deliver custom-made expansion tanks.

Plate Heat Exchangers

The plate heat exchangers consists of a pack of heat transfer plates, with port holes, compressed by the frames and tightening bolts. The plates are made of pressed titanium or stainless steel sheet metal with a corrugated pattern. The corrugated plate channel are designed to achieve maximum heat transfer. Each plate is provided with an elastomeric gasket which seals between channel and directs the ﬂuids into alternate channel.

Cathodic Protection

In order to protect metal parts under water, cathodic protection by means of anodes is necessary. Blokland oﬀers a broad range of several types of zinc, aluminium and magnesium anodes.

Propulsion Solutions for Commercial Vessels

For commercial vessels, the reliability of the propulsion and rudder systems is extremely important. Downtime results in delays and high costs. Our propulsion systems are well equipped to fit commercial vessels and keep them moving forward anytime, anywhere.

Our range of standardized, off-the-shelf products enables us to respond quickly to your immediate maintenance needs. Nevertheless, we can provide you with the fast delivery of our custom-made propulsion systems. Leveraging the large stock level in our warehouse, an accurate production planning and high-tech production facility, we are your partner in case of fast maintenance and service.

Propulsion Solutions for Pleasure Yachts

Thanks to Blokland’s in-house engineering team and production capacity, we deliver propulsion systems which are optimized for your application. Every yacht is unique. Therefore, we approach each project with the same, extensive expertise but a tailored point of view. Within propulsion and rudder systems, our portfolio is focused on yachts with a length of 5 up to 60 meters.

Careless sailing and traveling the world is of tremendous importance for the yachts we are equipping. We are determined to contribute to this, so that our clients can fully enjoy sailing the world without the need to worry about the potential environmental harm of our products. For this reason, we continuously develop and improve our environmental capabilities while investing in new and innovative technologies.
