Why Air Cooling?

Marine cleaning boats, sea sweepers, and vessels tasked with responding to oil spills and other harmful substance leaks must operate in polluted and debris-filled waters where ordinary boats do not venture and would prefer not to. This environment often causes blockages in the condensers (heat exchangers) of these vessels, such as intercoolers, transmission condensers, and auxiliary condensers. In the case of oil spill response vessels (OSRVs), hydrocarbons like oil can adhere to the cooling water circuits, significantly reducing cooling efficiency. Many response vessels become inoperable during missions for this reason.

Deep water and shallow water intake valves are not always reliable under such conditions. This is precisely why the DYT 300 Sea Sweeper is equipped with an air-cooled engine, allowing it to operate independently of particles, plastics, debris, and other challenges in the water.

Furthermore, the corrosive properties of seawater can cause wear, rust, and erosion in even the highest quality condensers, heat exchangers, and coolers, often leading to rust and leaks in the engine room. In an air-cooled engine, these issues are entirely avoided. Bilge water accumulation, leaking shaft seals, and seawater leaks are completely eliminated.

Operating an air-cooled diesel engine on water requires precise HVAC, thermal management, and optimization. The DYT 300 has proven itself over the years as a unique and original sea sweeper in its region and globally.

The DYT 300 Sea Sweeper offers exceptional maneuverability for collecting marine debris and waste, thanks to its Azimuth thrusters.

Equipped with three marine cleaning conveyor belts, it is a self-discharging sea sweeper capable of efficient and independent operation.
