The patented
SuperFlush technology uses a scientifically sophisticated yet practical feedback
responsive control and metering system to flush salt and minerals from the
internal components of marine engines more effectively and conveniently than any
conventional method. The system uses an extremely effective multi-point
injection strategy, and a technology known as “ DYNAMIC
HYDROSTATIC PULSE AMPLIFICATION ” to achieve incomparable results in a
convenient and user-friendly environment, which through ease of use will
facilitate operation.
On engines
which are raw or seawater cooled, the unit receives water through a quick
disconnect fitting on a regular garden hose and enters the engine on each side
of the thermostat's, through fittings installed on the engine replacing plugs
that are already in the engine or by tapping into hoses normally installed on
the engines.
On engines,
which are equipped with a closed cooling system, the system is configured to
effectively flush the components that are most at risk from the damaging
combination of sea water and heat. Heat increases the causticity of seawater by
a factor or 3 at 160 degrees Fahrenheit and adds to the buildup of potassium,
magnesium and sodium residues inside the engine cooling subsystems.
To maximize
the benefits of the SuperFlush* System the engine is
not run during flushing as research indicates this
to be counter productive. On some engines conventional flushing may actually do
more harm than good. Due to the limited volume of available water and the high
capacity of the modern marine engine pumping systems, engine cavity and exhaust
components are not completely filling with water, leaving upper reaches of these
subsystems dry, and with much higher than normal temperatures.
The casting
marks, seams, transitional areas of uneven thickness and any 90 degree or
greater bend in the coolant flow channels in modern marine engines of all types
are all natural attractors for salt build-up, which seems to proceed in a
roughly geometrical progression once started.
When salt
build-up occurs, it effectively creates an isolation boundary layer that blocks
the dissipation or radiation of heat. When this happens, hot spots occur which
cause thermal stress and/or shock - which rapidly lead to failure. It was also
determined that up to 90% of impeller wear (on systems using centrifugal style
neoprene based impellers) occurred during engine flushing. Not surprising,
considering the pump requirements vs. the available supply, the SuperFlush
System overcomes these problems and others with a combination of events:
- The engine is
not run with the SuperFlush System, so no heat is generated to create hot spots.
- The metering
components of the SuperFlush System constantly adjusts the output levels of all
injection points, insuring continuous pressure and volume levels in all the
engine subsystems (water transfer systems, heat exchange systems, raw water
pumps, circulating pumps, engine block and heads, and manifold systems).
- The
SuperFlush System sends hydrostatic shock pulses through the engine cavities and
subsystems at between 7000 – 10,000 times per minute, depending upon the
application.
