Cooling System
Heat exchanger and Keel cooled options for all ratings
Emissions
IMO II and EU IWW compliant for all ratings
Separate Circuit Aftercooling System
The primary advantage of the separate circuit aftercooling system (SCAC) is that no sea water circulates through the aftercooler.
Additional Ratings
Specific ratings are available that meet IMO II emissions regulations and additional ratings are available that meet both EPA Tier 3 and IMO II emissions regulations.
