IF-380 (3500 sRWl/100°F) instal- lations have been in service.

The majority of the generating engines and a fairly large number of the propulsion engines in oper- ation world-wide have to accept the wide variety of fuel qualities available.

Experience has shown that, pro- vided the manufacturer's recom- mendations for fuel treatment, en- gine temperatures and load levels could be met, overhaul times and wear figures generally do not change significantly as compared to MDO-operation.

The demand for higher ratings and increased fuel viscosity, to- gether with the reduction of fuel quality, has prompted Bergen Die- sel to undertake extensive devel- opment work in the following areas: engine components—including ex- haust valves, pistons and rings; turbocharger matching; nozzle cooling/heating arrangement/start and shut-down on IFO; injection and combustion performance; part load performance; heat transfer; and fuel oil preparation.

A free, 70-page technical report on Bergen Diesel engines operat- ing on intermediate fuels is avail- able on request.

CATERPILLAR

Caterpillar Engine Division of- fers complete, matched propulsion package with ratings from 85 hp (63 kw) to 1,600 hp (1,194 kw) and marine auxiliary generator sets with ratings from 55 kw (69 kv - a). Caterpillar reports all en- gines have rugged four-cycle de- sign with medium operating speeds which result in proven reliability and long service life. Their com- pact design allows easy installa- tion and servicing when machin- ery space is limited. Their low fuel consumption reduces engine own- ing and operating costs.

Factory matched engines and transmissions are factory assem- bled and tested. Design compati- bility allows concurrent schedul- ing of major overhauls, reducing repair time and expense. Caterpil- lar 7200 series of marine trans- missions match applications rang- ing from 300 hp (224 kw) to 1,600 hp (1,194 kw) and a full range of attachments (power takeoffs, pro- tection devices, mechanical control systems, duplex fuel and oil fil- ters, etc.) facilitate specific appli- cation requirements.

Service and product support is available from a worldwide net- work of 232 full-line Caterpillar dealers in more than 1,100 loca- tions in more than 140 countries.

Caterpillar dealers conduct sea trials to audit your system's per- formance, including air intake subsystems, exhaust, cooling and lubrication to ensure optimum en- gine performance and life.

Caterpillar offers a complete marine auxiliary generator set package. Cat auxiliaries provide essential ship services and emer- gency power for lighting, commu- nications, powering winches, oper- ating compressors, pumping water and operating bow and stern thrusters. The entire generator package is factory warranted with

Caterpillar dealers providing one source responsibility for parts and service.

Two new projects are underway at Colt Industries, Fairbanks Morse

Engine Division in Beloit, Wis., which are of special importance to the U.S. maritime industry. Colt

Industries has secured a licensing agreement with S.E.M.T. Pielstick of France to manufacture the Piel- stick PC4.2V and PC2.6L diesel engines at its Wisconsin plant.

An $11.5-million transfer of technology program is underway with commitments already made on long lead time tooling for

PC4.2V engines. Modifications to the Beloit facilities Colt-Pielstick assembly and test areas include the purchase of a 250-ton bridge crane, new railroad trackage, and modifications to the 30,000-hp dy- namometer test cell to permit as- sembly and test of the Colt-Piel- stick PC4.2V marine engine.

Ratings for the PC2.6L are be- tween 4,500 hp and 6,750 hp. For the PC4.2V, the ratings are be- tween 16,500 hp and 29,700 hp. (continued on page 16)
