3 June 2008 ORCA Introduces two new equivalent oil cooling arrangements for Perkins engines Orca Marine Cooling Systems announced today that it has introduced two new heat exchangers replacing current oil coolers used on Perkins engines. These Orca units are fabricated from long lasting copper shells and fittings, and employ Copper-Nickel tubes. Removable end caps permit easy cleaning and a fitted zinc anode insures long, corrosion free life for the unit. These units replace the original parts consisting of cast aluminum shells and removable bundles. Inspired by the success of similar units (Range 4 three part tandem oil and charge air cooler and individual charge air coolers; click here for more information) these units are designed to replace the originals when the aluminum shell has been damaged due to corrosion as occurs when a salt water leak impinges on the aluminum casting Where the aluminum shells remain serviceable, Orca also manufactures the replacement removable elements.

has designed a new tandem cooler for the Perkins
Range 4 series engine. This unit, made exclusively by Orca Marine
Cooling Systems, replaces the entire Range 4 assembly of Charge Air Cooler
(Intercooler), Transmission Oil Cooler and Engine Oil Cooler with a single 3-part unit. The shell is copper with copper-nickel tubes for long life in
the marine environment. Heat transfer surface is Using a newly designed laser cut custom bracket, the unit mounts neatly on the engine -- matching all hose connections and extending 2 inches more than the original, still inside the engine envelope. "It is increasingly difficult to find replacement parts for Perkins Range 4 cooling systems," said Mike Dodds, production manager for Orca in Bellingham. "This unit offers a boat owner a cost effective way to extend the useful life of the popular Perkins Range 4 engine if the cast aluminum parts of the original equipment become corroded or damaged. Of course, we continue to manufacture replacement elements for the original tandem coolers and the engine cooler as well." ORCA Sponsors Business Conference Orca Marine Cooling Systems is pleased to announce that it is one of several sponsors for this year's Whatcom Business Conference. Hosted by the Small Business Development Center of Western Washington University's College of Business and Economics and Whatcom Community College, the conference presents a series of seminars designed to improve local small business performance through education. The conference is presented in Bellingham on October 21, 2004. "We are a member of the Whatcom County business community, and proud of it," said Bob Trunek, president of Orca Marine Cooling Systems. "It is part of our responsibility to this community to play at least a small role in enhancing local businesses, both in terms of the general business climate and in the capability of individual businesses. This conference is an excellent vehicle to further that objective." Orca Marine Cooling Systems has been manufacturing high quality marine heat exchangers and cooling system kits for over 30 years in Bellingham. Under new management since December 2002, Orca is focused on continuous improvement in all aspects of operation. We live our mission: to be a High Performance, High Integrity, High Quality organization providing the finest marine heat exchangers and cooling systems available. Details about the Whatcom Business Conference may be obtained directly by going to: www.whatcomcommunityed.com and clicking on the navigation phrase under "Register now for fall". 31 March 2004 Orca Marine Cooling Systems today announced that it has introduced "Tune-Up" Kits for its removable end cap heat exchangers. The kits consist of a set of gaskets, end caps, stainless end bolts and washers, a new zinc anode and a plastic clean-out rod. This kit provides everything normally needed to clean and restore the heat exchanger to its original integrity. Properly maintained, a quality heat exchanger will provide many years of trouble-free service. Annual inspection of the exchanger and replacement of the rubber gaskets is part of that maintenance. Additionally, zincs will generally require more frequent replacement so installing a fresh zinc while doing a thorough annual inspection is usually a good idea. Over time, end caps will deform if over-tightened and could crack. Replacing the end cap when you replace the gaskets insures that these components are in top condition. "These Tune-Up kits" said Mike Dodds, Production Manager at Orca Marine Cooling Systems, " make annual maintenance of a quality heat exchanger simple, save time in searching for all the correct parts, and are an effective tool to keep the exchanger functioning at maximum efficiency." Response to the introduction of these kits has been very exciting.
Dealer List Initiated With this update to the web site we are beginning to list dealers who offer ORCA Marine Cooling Systems products. We anticipate that this list will grow substantially over time, but we are adding names slowly at first. New Tips Added We added a few new items to the TIPS section of this site, accessed via the 'Tips' button . These deal mainly with installation of a fresh water (closed) cooling system on an engine which has operated on raw water, and some of the related considerations.
