Martechnic is proud to announce the successful launch of its ground-breaking, patent pending test device MT COOLANT CHECK designed for regular assessment of the engine cooling water quality.

Rethinking the traditional approach to on-board coolant testing with (hazardous) chemicals, Martechnic offers an absolutely innovative, environmentally friendly and chemical-free test method.

With the new test device MT COOLANT CHECK, the engine maintenance crew can promptly analyze water-based coolants and their remaining corrosion protection capacity within just 20 minutes. Utilizing the electrotechnical apparatus with corrosion-resistant and corrosion-prone electrodes, the MT COOLANT CHECK runs just one single test with a single coolant sample in fully-automated measurement process. Along with determination of the chlorid content in the coolant sample, the coolant’s anti-corrosion performance is measured with a new unit “Lagner” (Lag).

Based on the calculated remaining corrosion protection of the coolant in use, the precise dosing rate of the additive to be added (in case of insufficient anti-corrosion protection) will be also automatically determined and displayed. By offering precise and timely maintenance recommendations, the test device helps to avoid unnecessary coolant changes and wastage.

Easily recyclable electrodes with no shelf-life limitations contribute to waste reduction, minimizing environmental risks, especially to marine ecosystems, thereby marking a significant stride towards sustainable predictive maintenance in the maritime industry.

The MT COOLANT CHECK was recognized with 2024 and 2023 Ship Technology Excellence Awards in the categories “INNOVATION” and “ENVORONMENTAL – DECARBONIZATION”.
