🔌 Function

Carries engine coolant through a tube stack washed by raw water, transferring the engine's waste heat into the seawater circuit.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Coolant temperature climbing under load
• Coolant loss with no external leak, or oil traces in the raw water
• Salt or scale crust at the end covers
• Tube stack silted, scaled or partly blocked on strip-down
• Tubes weeping or failing a pressure test

🛠️ Service Notes

• If your records show 3825962, this is the current number
• Check the stack length against your housing and use the correct O-rings and seals - renew them whenever the element is disturbed, and check the anodes
• This is 9.6 kg heavier than element 3827495, so the two are easy to tell apart on arrival - but confirm the engine designation before ordering
