Box cooler
The box cooler, invented by NRF in 1959, is simple, environmentally-friendly device, which requires little maintenance. It cools better than other makes under all conditions and gives years of problem-free performance.
ICAF System for Box Coolers
It reduces biological fouling thanks to the copper anodes mounted under the box cooler that slowly dissolve by receiving an electrical current from a power supply. Creating an environment in which biological marine growth won’t develop and will just be flushed back out to sea. The copper ridden environment is only active for a limited time as these ions fall back to the stable cu++ which doesn’t harm the environment.

In general, NRF box coolers are a maintenance free system. However, considering their long lifespan and given the different sailing areas and operating conditions, biofouling must be considered. The implementation of local and international control measures preventing pollution has resulted in a substantial reduction of toxic effluent from industry and marine traffic. This has greatly encouraged organic growth in rivers, estuaries and coastal waters, resulting in an increased trend of biofouling.
