Cooling system

Marine cooling water pumps, heat exchangers and thermostats

Overheating is usually a pump or a fouled cooler, not a mystery. We supply cylinder cooling water pumps, sea water pumps, plate and shell-and-tube heat exchangers, thermostats and seal kits.

  • Single unit or complete kit
  • OEM and verified alternatives

Components

What we supply

Cooling system parts are cheap relative to the downtime they cause, which makes them a frequent urgent enquiry. Send the pump type or the cooler drawing and we will confirm the impeller, shaft, seal and plate pack against it.

To quote accurately

What we need from you

  • 1. Engine make and type
    For example MAN B&W 6S50MC-C, or Wärtsilä 6L32.
  • 2. Part number
    From the manual, the invoice, or stamped on the old part.
  • 3. Quantity and destination
    One unit or a set, and the port or city for delivery.
  • 4. A photo, if the number is gone
    The worn part, the nameplate or a drawing with dimensions.
No part number? That is common on older engines. Send the bore, the overall length and a photo and we will work from that.

Questions

Before you enquire

Titanium plates for sea water coolers?

Yes. Where the cooler sees sea water directly, titanium plates outlast 316L by a wide margin. The price difference is small against the cost of a second failure.

Can you supply a seal kit without the pump?

Yes. Give us the pump make, model and shaft diameter, or the seal part number. Seals are the most common cause of a pump drip and the cheapest part to replace.

Do you recondition or only supply new?

We supply new parts. Where a pump housing is still serviceable, we quote the rotating assembly and seal kit rather than the complete pump.

Tell us what you need

One part number is enough to start. Drawings, photos and nameplate details all help us confirm the match.

What to include: engine make and type, part number (if known), quantity, and the port or city you need it delivered to. A photo of the nameplate or the worn part is often faster than a part number.
