Composite cooling ducts for marine engines

Various ducts and sluice-gates are installed on large marine engines and are used for introducing seawater if required for cooling the engine. Composite parts elements have been developed by the DJP Company to replace their traditional metallic counterparts while bringing many advantages. Within the Vaneo program, DJP has bound thus a partnership with its customer the SEMT-Pielstick firm (now Man Diesel), the SERAM (a laboratory of the ENSAM school), and SPL Mecatronic (Cluster of entreprises specialized in mechanics of the Seine Amont area) to built up this new solution.
