Cat Delivers Genset as

MCS-Certified Package

The 3412C marine genset from

Caterpillar Marine Power Systems now arrives at shipyards as a complete MCS- certified package. Vessel builders receive the ready-to-install genset as a complete package to be installed as a single component on-board in a simple "plug and play" fashion. Caterpillar provides Marine Classification Society (MCS) certification direct from its fac- tories. In addition, the genset arrives complete with a functionally tested alarm and protection system. Builders only have to connect the system to on- board components and test the panel with the ship's system to confirm proper operation. The 3412C genset features a 27-liter, turbocharged-aftercooled diesel engine. It is available with two different cooling systems: an engine-mounted radiator or a gear-driven, self-priming auxiliary seawater pump combined with a gear-driven centrifugal jacket water pump. The exhaust system consists of a watercooled manifold and turbocharger and a dry elbow and flange. The engine is IMO compliant for emissions regula- tions. The genset base rails distribute the unit's weight over a large area, allowing vessel builders to install it just about anywhere. Caterpillar has moved tradi- tional genset production steps in-house to now provide factory built, packaged, tested and type approved marine gensets to its dealers and customers. MCS certi- fication of several Caterpillar facilities allows the company to produce gensets like the 3412C according to MCS quali- ty standards.

Alfa Laval Freshwater

Generators

During 2005, Alfa Laval delivered 895 freshwater generators to shipyards around the world, and last year, ship- yards and shipowners ordered an addi- tional 1,188 freshwater generators from

Alfa Laval. Alfa Laval offers three freshwater generators models: the JWP series, the DPU series and the MEP series. Designed for high thermal effi- ciency, these generally cover the capaci- ty needs for freshwater requirements on board throughout a ship's lifetime.

Compact and highly efficient, the dis- tillers are manufactured from top-grade materials that ensure an economical service lifetime. In addition, all Alfa

Laval solutions for generating freshwa- ter are designed to help reduce the impact of a ship's operation on the envi- ronment.
