HOW IT WORKS

ENGINE FLUSHING TECHNICAL CONCEPT
 
The patented technology uses a scientifically sophisticated yet practical feedback responsive control and metering system  to flush salt and minerals from the internal components of marine engines more effectively and conveniently  than any conventional method. The system uses an extremely effective multi-point injection strategy, and a technology known as Proportionally Directed Overfill Back Flush TM  to achieve incomparable results, which through ease of use facilitates the flushing operation. The Guardian unit receives water through a quick disconnect fitting on a regular garden hose, is injected into the engine on each side of the thermostat's through fittings installed on the engine replacing plugs that are already in the engine or by tapping into hoses normally installed on the engines.  The engine is not run during Guardian  flushing.   Due to the high capacity of the modern marine engine pumping systems,  engine cavity and exhaust components are not completely filled with water using convention flushing systems, leaving the upper reaches of these subsystems dry , which causes much higher than normal internal temperatures. The casting marks, seams, transitional areas of uneven thickness, and any 90 degree or greater bend in the coolant flow channels in modern marine engines are all attractors for salt build-up, which seems to proceed in a roughly geometrical progression once started. When salt build-up occurs, it effectively creates an isolation boundary layer that blocks the dissipation or radiation of heat. When this happens, hot spots occur which cause thermal stress, and or shock which rapidly lead to failure. It has been determined that up to 90% of impeller wear (on systems using centrifugal style neoprene based impellers)  occurs during engine flushing.  The Guardian Systems overcome these and other problems due to the following combination of events:
 
1. The engine is not run with the Guardian System, therefore, no heat is generated to create hotspots.
 
2. The metering components of the Guardian system constantly adjusts the output levels at each injection point, ensuring continuous pressure and volume levels in all the engine subsystems (water transfer systems, heat exchange systems, raw water pumps, circulating pumps, engine block and heads, and manifold systems).
 
3. The Guardian system creates hydrostatic shock waves that are sent through the engine cooling systems and subsystems between 75-185 pulses per minute, depending upon the application.
 
This  hydrostatic shock pulse reaches every cavity of the engine,  breaking salt and minerals loose and flushing them out of the engine.  The engine is completely flushed after 4 to 6 minutes.  A unique Chemical Treatment comprised of a self-pressurized container, allows the introduction of a chemical line that includes a rust prohibitive which coats the internal components of the engine for added protection and longevity; a salt dissolving/zebra muscle additive that removes marine life from internal components; and an anti-freeze mixture for lay-up or storage of marine engines.  Each of these have been specifically manufactured for our flushing system to provide extra protection to any engine. All chemicals used with the Guardian System are EPA approved. When used properly the Guardian enhances the operational readiness and reliability and significantly reduce man hours required for maintenance and greatly extend the operational life of marine power plants in all marine environments.
