Coxreels New Diesel Exhaust Fluid Hose Reels

Coxreels introduced a com- plete line of Diesel Exhaust

Fluid (DEF) hose reels built on the all-steel construction SH and T Series reels. These reels are equipped with a stainless steel external full-flow swivel and chemical resistant Viton seal to provide a safe, reliable

DEF dispensing solution. The swivel is easy to access for simple seal maintenance and fast DEF dispenser hose installation. Coxreels provides professional reeling systems in heavy-duty single pedestal (SH Series) or supreme-duty dual pedestal (T Series) configurations that handle DEF hoses up to 75 feet of three quarter inch and up to 50 feet of one inch. Both designs are outfitted with Super Hub dual axle support systems to increase stability and reduce vibration during operation. www.coxreels.com

Digital Yacht America’s AIS Antenna

Digital Yacht America launched the

AA10 antenna which is specifically designed to operate with AIS sys- tems. The white quarter wave whip antenna measures 21 inches. It is designed to fit a standard, one-inch

GPS antenna style mounting, so it can be fitted on to the pushpit rail, mast top or wheel house roof. It comes with a 33-ft cable fitted with a solder-less connector, no thicker than the wire itself. www.digitalyachtamerica.com

DataLog Fuel Monitoring Software for FloNET

FloScan’s new PC software, DataLog, records fuel usage data for NOx emissions reporting and simplifies fuel inventory control. DataLog also provides real-time fuel flow data to pinpoint the engine speed to improve fuel economy by 20% or more. Individual supply and return fuel flow rates and temperatures keep track of the engine’s health and performance.

Changes in these parameters under normal operating condi- tions, such as a reduction in the supply flow rate or a marked increase in the return flow tem- perature, are a clear indication that something is amiss.

Models are available for all makes of marine diesel engines up to 6,000 hp. www.floscan.com

Delta System’s New Head Vent System

Delta "T" Systems’ new head vent system uses a single powerful blower to extract air from multiple heads on a ves- sel. The entire head vent sys- tem including the blower, the control unit and the dampers are housed within a central, remotely-located plenum box measuring 16 inches by 12 inches by 13 inches. A single head vent unit is capable of ventilating up to four heads.

The system is fully automatic and requires no input from the user. Each head is fitted with a motion detector. When a person enters one of the heads, the system automatical- ly initiates the flow of air from that head. The head vent system is also available in a manual version. The system runs on 24 volts DC and requires only one exhaust port through to the outside of the vessel. www.deltatsystems.com

New Integrated Shaft Coupling Design

VULKAN Couplings intro- duced a combination of the proven RATO DS coupling with a directly connected Composite shaft. The high radial stiffness and the comparably low axial and bending stiffness makes the

RATO DS suitable to work not only as a torsional cou- pling but also as an integrated misalignment coupling when rigidly connected to an intermediate shaft. At the rear end of the intermediate shaft a torsionally stiff mis- alignment coupling creates the second bending flexible pivot thus providing a double cardanic design. This new combination consisting of RATO DS and intermediate shaft is called VULKAN Integrated Shaft Coupling (ISC). www.vulkan.com
