Dusty or salty environments have a negative impact on the life time of the air cooled alternator, as the cooling fins gets quickly clogged and loose their efficiency, leading to alternator over-heating.
In order to improve the reliability of the alternator in dusty and salty environment, Sandvik offers to his customers the possibility to replace the standard air cooled alternator by a Water Cooler Alternator.
Water cooled alternator increases the alternator lifetime compared to the standard (air cooled) alternator. It reduces costs and increases equipment uptime as the alternator change interval is longer compared to the standard alternator.
