De Laval got the largest propulsion unit order placed by the merchant marine in recent years-11 sets of DLT-M main propulsion plants for new LASH vessels. In 1969, De Laval offers DLT-M main propulsion plants in standardized designs to 46,000 SHP (and bigger... if you need them) The same propulsion unit design that met the needs of the high-speed LASH vessels is now available in De Laval's DLT-M line of packaged main propulsion plants. The new line covers a wide range of sizes from 18,000 to 46,000 SHP. Larger units can be supplied where required. The De Laval DLT-M main pro-pulsion package consists of three major modules selected for optimum performance within the particular requirements of horsepower, torque and space. The turbines are designed for modern regenerative cycles and meet the same high standards of perform-ance and reliability for which all De Laval marine turbines have been known for many years. Reduction gears are of two types ?either articulated or the well-known De Laval locked-train design. The condenser, which is con-structed as an integral part of the turbine drive assembly, completes the total propulsion package.
