R&D

R&D is all about creating new knowledge.

With a direct access to the Blokland facilities, with an extensive machine shop, heat exchanger test installations and modern engineering capabilities, we are in a position not only to design, but also to produce tools and modifications and test them in-house. With the knowledge of our own designed, versatile generators and electronic controls we can identify potential improvements and open opportunities for new applications.

Advantages of our sister company Blokland facilities

Having acces to different test basins, we are able to test and evaluate specific methods of ultrasound distribution on different structures. This allows us to further develop our present knowhow on acoustic impedances and sound energy distribution in different types, sizes and shapes of boxcoolers and other complicated structures.

With the knowledge of our own designed, versatile generators and electronic controls we can identify potential improvements and open opportunities for new applications.

Dutch Institute for Marine Research

NIOZ test location

At the Yerseke location of the NIOZ (Dutch Institute for Marine Research) a set of testbassins has been used to determine the efficiency of ultrasound systems for the prevention of marine growth on boxcoolers. Coolers without ultrasound, coolers with conventional ultrasound and coolers with the GreenSonic® designed converters were exposed to exact the same conditions.

Difference in results

Without ultrasound

Results of a cooler without ultrasound after being a couple of months exposed.

Conventional ultrasound system

Results of a cooler with a conventional ultrasound system, installed on the cover, during the same period of exposure.

GreenSonic©

Results of a cooler with the GreenSonic® design converters installed on the tubeplate, during the same period of exposure.
