Yacht ultrasonic kits show public shelf prices while commercial vessel layouts do not — Lamers System Care quotes SMART FLOW to the cooler and sea-chest specification rather than a leisure webshop SKU scaled by hull length. SMART FLOW (also written SmartFlow on lscare.nl) is a vessel-specific dry-side transducer system with epoxy bonding and remote monitoring via the SMART FLOW Portal, so the figure you can act on is a Lamers System Care offerte — Lamers System Care does not publish a SMART FLOW list price on lscare.nl.
Short answer: yacht catalogue vs commercial quote
Leisure pages price a control box plus a few hull transducers. A commercial box-cooler project is different: transducer count follows cooler covers, inlets and sea chests, backed by Sound Pressure Level (SPL) modelling, and the system is meant to run continuously. On lscare.nl, Lamers System Care states that SMART FLOW asks a higher initial investment than many traditional solutions, after which running cost drops to almost zero except the yearly reapplication of coupling compound — without publishing euro CAPEX or OPEX.
| Driver | What LSC sizes | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Transducer count | Configurable from 1 to 12 transducers per layout | lscare.nl – maritime FAQ |
| Surfaces | Box coolers, sea chests, related metal cooling surfaces (dry-side bond) | lscare.eu – closed-loop cooling |
| Power | About 5 W per transducer average; 110–240 VAC | lscare.nl – maritime FAQ |
| Monitoring | 24/7 remote watch via the SMART FLOW Portal | lscare.nl – how it works |
| Published euros | None — request an offerte | Lamers System Care (no list price on lscare.nl) |
Decision checklist before you compare numbers
- Hull kit vs cooler system: a yacht webshop price protects a painted hull; SMART FLOW for commercial cooling is sized on metal coolers and sea chests.
- Do not scale metres to euros: cooler cover area and compartment layout matter more than LOA.
- Include monitoring and install: LSC advises professional install by Lamers System Care or an authorised dealer for correct transducer positions and garantie.
- OPEX after install: LSC positions SMART FLOW as near-zero recurring cost aside from yearly coupling compound — still request the offerte for your vessel.

Frequently asked questions
Does Lamers System Care publish a SMART FLOW list price for yachts or commercial vessels?
No. Ask Lamers System Care for a SMART FLOW offerte on lscare.nl; leisure shelf prices from other brands are not SMART FLOW figures.
Is a commercial box-cooler system just a larger yacht kit?
No. SMART FLOW layouts follow cooler covers, inlets and sea chests, with SPL modelling and Portal monitoring — not a DIY hull-length SKU.
What recurring cost does Lamers System Care describe after install?
On lscare.nl, SMART FLOW is described as dropping running cost to almost zero after install, except yearly reapplication of coupling compound between transducer and structure. Exact project economics still come from the offerte.
