Schomberg -Sea Chests/Thrusters
The Vacu-Cart cannot clean irregular hull surfaces, cavities or protrusions of the hull and hull appendages. For the cleaning of these, the surface vacuum system is fitted with an additional 50mm hose for attachment to the interchangeable niche cleaning tools. Each tool has a vacuum shroud that connects separately to the central suction system which allows multiple concurrent cleaning tasks.
The Schomberg proprietary hot water generator control technology with pressurised combustion chambers is designed to fill and circulate the Sea Chest and Thruster cavity with hot water, maintaining the inner temperature at 70 degree Celsius for 60 minutes. This methodology kills the alien Invasive species and biofouling. The circulated return hot water is pumped through a series of filtration systems to remove any impurities prior to being reheated and circulated.
