Van Halteren Technologies has introduced the VHT AQUASHIELD CHILLER, an innovative marine chilled-water solution designed to redefine reliability in seawater-cooled applications. By combining indirect seawater cooling with a closed intermediate circuit, the system completely separates seawater from the refrigerant system, protecting critical refrigeration components from corrosion and biofouling while reducing maintenance requirements and environmental risk.
