Maxim Watermakers Advances U.S. Navy’s Cooling Solutions
Maxim Watermakers Advances Closed Loop Cooling Technology
Maxim Watermakers, part of Fairbanks Morse Defense, has made significant strides in supporting U.S. Navy operations with the successful completion of testing for an innovative Closed Loop Cooling System (CLCS). This achievement marks a milestone as it is the first implementation of such a system by the U.S. Navy, demonstrating Maxim's commitment to enhancing submarine maintenance processes.
Innovative Testing for Naval Excellence
In a rigorous qualification process conducted at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility, Maxim's CLCS underwent extensive evaluations. These tests showcased the system's capability to improve efficiency during essential maintenance periods. The funding for this endeavor came from the Maritime Sustainment Technology and Innovation Consortium (MSTIC), highlighting the significant engineering capabilities Maxim brings to the table in support of naval operations.
Enhancing Submarine Operations
The Advanced Closed Loop Cooling System is designed to optimize the maintenance and operational processes for submarines, especially during dry dock maintenance. By reducing corrosion, enhancing reliability, and improving maintenance schedules, this system is poised to deliver critical operational benefits to the Navy's underwater fleet. Notably, these improvements are vital for vessels operating in regions with strict environmental regulations.
Key Features of the CLCS
The system includes a ship service skid that circulates cooling water throughout the submarine and a chilled water skid for high-capacity air-cooled chillers. This dual functionality ensures that submarines maintain optimal performance and reliability throughout their service life.
Thorough Evaluation Process
Maxim’s testing regime was comprehensive, including 14 distinct evaluations over a rigorous four-day period. Each evaluation was designed to assess normal operations, emergency responses, and essential functionalities such as filling and draining the system. The success of these tests not only validated the technology but also showcased Maxim's engineering excellence.
Monica Rogers of Maxim Watermakers expressed pride in this achievement, stating, "This milestone reflects our engineering excellence and dedication to innovation in naval systems. By leveraging our technical capabilities and MSTIC's support, we can deliver state-of-the-art solutions to meet evolving client needs and enhance critical naval operations globally."
Ongoing Commitment to Technological Advancements
Both Fairbanks Morse Defense and Maxim Watermakers are dedicated to the continuous development of advanced water treatment technologies. Their ongoing innovations aim to create reliable, high-performance water systems which counteract critical challenges faced by their customers in operational environments.
