Charge Air Cooler Water Separator (Baffle Plate)
1 Introduction
The Charge Air Cooler Water Separator (Baffle Plate) is a modification on the CAC assembly, which
improves the condense drainage out from the engine.
The standard engine configuration is already provided with a water separator that is installed on the outlet
airside of CAC assembly and proper drain nozzle.
With engine running under tropical conditions, high humidity and temperature, enormous quantities of
water are contained in the air as water vapour.
The improvement of standard engine configuration consists of an additional Baffle Plate located just after
the existing water separator and proper condense drain pipeline.
The modification advantages are:
· More efficiency in draining out from the CAC the condense
· Avoids cylinder liner corrosion and wear
· Reduce the sulphuric corrosion of the cylinder liner and negative effect on lubricating oil film stability
· Reduce the wear rates of piston rings and piston ring grooves
· Make the engine independent by the climatic condition
