Engine cooling reliability in a salt-corrosive environment is a vital issue to the offshore petroleum industry, particularly since radiators on most offshore drilling/production structures are located inside tightly enclosed engine spaces and offer little room for sprawling maintenance services. And because of the round-the-clock running times imposed on offshore diesel and reciprocating engines, minimizing both external and internal wear and tear on their radiator-based cooling systems is crucial to avoiding costly downtimes associated with repairs or component change-out.
