With the new Cathelco box cooler system, the anode is located directly beneath the cooling tubes with cathode plates on either side providing a more even

distribution of ions.

 

This is an important advance on original box cooler installations where the anode was inserted through the seachest plate. The mounting unit is manufactured by the yard and should be left as unpainted bare steel after installation. A cable exit boss is supplied by Cathelco with double watertight cable glands to produce an effective seal.

New box cooler system brings greater effectiveness in eliminating bio-fouling in box coolers:

a)more even distribution of copper ions along length of box cooler

b)anode mounted in seachest and totally submerged

c)mounting unit supplied by yard.
