Stern Tube Lubrication

System From Waukesha

Literature describing the com- pany's automatic Circoolmatic oil circulation and cooling system for stern tube seal lubrication has been published by Waukesha

Bearings Corporation, Waukesha,

Wis. The system is recommended for 710 mm seal systems and larger.

Circoolmatic pumps oil from the forward seal through a sea-or- freshwater cooling system, pro- viding maximum lubrication. Oil may also be used as a coolant and may be pumped from the mainstern tube bearing sump into the cooling coil, then into the main head tank.

The Circoolmatic is a flooded circulating type system, with the seals, reservoir, and circulating pump fitted and primed at all times to maintain seal oil at a satisfactory cooling level. Stand- ard features included are a fail- safe alarm system; pilot lights indicating proper pump operation and adequate oil level; and an audible alarm that signals low oil level.

SFC BW separators feature a permanent filter bed (no dirty cartridges to change, no messy disposal).

Automatic operation without attendance is available.

U.S. Coast Guard approved.

Special Filtering

Material.

One outstanding feature of SFC BW (Separator Filter

Coalescer Bilge Water)

Oil/Water Separators is the permanent final filter bed Composed of specially treated oleophilic particles, it can be used over and over again. With heavy use, an annual topping of 5% to 15% is the only filter bed maintenance required.

Moreover, treated water discharges are typically less than 2 parts per million of oil... well below the maximum allowable 15 parts per million.

Unattended

Operation with

Automatic Option.

Because of the permanent final filter bed, SFC

BW Separators ordered with the automatic option can operate unattended for weeks at a time. Whenever the filter bed reaches a pre-set degree of oil saturation, a very accurate vacuum-operated controller stops separation, initiates a cleansing back-flush cycle and sounds an alarm. After back-flushing, separation

Automatic valve provides total "hands-off" operation. automatically starts again.

The 20-minute back-flush cycle occurs only once every 12 to 24 hours of operation, depending upon oil concentration.

Unique Compact

Design.

Because of the permanent filter bed, which requires only limited access annually,

SFC BW units are very compact. All processing takes place in a single vertical cylinder requiring a minimum of deck space. A 2 cubic meter per hour unit, for example, is only 2 feet in diameter.

Every SFC BW unit is equipped with its own pumps designed to meet a vessel's needs.They do not rely on existing bilge pumps.

U.S.C.G. Approved.

In U.S. Coast Guard certification tests,

BUTTERWORTHK SFC

BW Oil/Water Separators exceeded U.S.C.G. and

IMCO A.393(X) requirements.

Separators have also been approved in conformance with A.393(X) by France,

Germany, Greece, Italy,

Netherlands, Norway,
