New Sensing Device

For Flume Stabilization

Flume Stabilization Systems, Inc. of New Jersey, has announced its second generation of ship roll stabili- zers. In addition to designing and marketing their patented passive sta- bilizers, the New Jersey corporation has expanded the line of designs to now include a full range of stabiliza- tion equipment—from fin stabilizers to the new automated tuning system for passive tanks.

The primary purpose of this tuning system is to insure that the Flume tank liquid is at the proper level for maximum stabilizer performance at all times. This feature is important, since ship's personnel are thus re- lieved from the necessity of calculat- ing the vessel's stability and checking the liquid level during the voyage in order to maintain the maximum roll reduction.

To achieve this, the ship's roll mo- tion and the movement of the liquid within the stabilizer are analyzed, compared, and the phase relation de- termined. The bridge console display system indicates whether the tank is performing at its peak efficiency or if liquid should be added or removed.

After extensive laboratory testing and prototype test in an existing Flume tank installation, the system is now in production for standard installa- tions.
