Product information
Rain-proof design to avoid corrosion and wearing of the GCU components, especially the burner and the combustion chamber bottom
The inner lining in the combustion chamber provides a cold and therefore strong structure of the GCU
High air excess provides low flame temperature for low heat radiation and low NOX emissions
No flame touching of the combustion chamber wall if the ship is rolling in heavy sea and therefore no wear-ing or damaging of the combustion chamber
No belt driven fans for low maintenance cost
Oil pilot burner for unlimited continuous operation if required during special circumstances
Controlled fuel air ratio for safe combustion and low emissions
For maintenance it is possible to remove or replace inner parts like combustion chamber and burner via funnel
Gap between combustion chamber and outer shell is accessible
100 % free flow possible All gases are completely burned
