Racal Electronics Plans

To Acquire Full Ownership

Of ITT Decca Marine

A new organization was an- nounced recently for the market- ing and servicing of all Racal-

Decca Marine products in the

United States. A joint Racal Elec- tronics-ITT statement said that

Racal, the international electron- ics group that acquired the Decca companies last year, is in the final stages of securing total owner- ship of ITT Decca Marine, Inc., based in Palm Coast, Fla. The deal is expected to be completed shortly, pending certain formal governmental approvals.

David Paculabo, marine direc- tor of Racal-Decca, stated: "The setting up of the new organiza- tion shows our determination to increase and broaden our marine business throughout the United

States. Racal-Decca will remain strong in radar, particularly deep- sea and small boat radar. We have already started a develop- ment program for a completely new range of products to be launched within two years. Mean- while, we will intensify the mar- keting of our current marine products."

The new organization, to be re- named Racal-Decca Marine, Inc., will take over the complete busi- ness operations carried out by

ITT-Decca Marine, jointly owned by Racal-Decca ITT under a 50/ 50 partnership agreement. Racal-

Decca is now acquiring the ITT half share to give it 100 percent ownership of ITT Decca Marine.

The new organization will have close liaison with Racal-Decca

Survey, Inc. of Houston, which provides a full range of products for the offshore oil industry.

Waste Heat Recovery

Handbook Available

From American-Standard

A newly published heat recov- ery handbook gives comprehen- sive information on using heat exchangers to recover waste heat for re-use. The handbook, pub- lished by American Standard

Heat Transfer Division, gives de- tails of a series of case histories with schematics of actual instal- lations where industrial compa- nies have used fan-type, shell- and-tube or plate-type heat trans- fer to collect "waste" heat for re-use.

The case histories, which in- clude applications from process heat re-use to facility space heat- ing, describe operating parame- ters, heat exchanger installation information, and payback periods.

The handbook also includes a glossary of heat transfer/heat re- cover terminology, and details of

American-Standard shell-and- tube, fan-type, and plate-type heat exchangers, and has infor- mation about selecting the cor- rect type of unit for a specific heat recovery application.
