Diesel Power Review

B&W reports specific fuel oil con- sumption for medium & low speed engines as low as 0.26 lbs/bhp-hr at part load. The M.A.N.-B&W service organization consists of 29 service centers worldwide, 104 sales agents, and 74 authorized repair agents, which ensure that the op- erator of any M.A.N, or B&W de- signed engine has rapid access to spare parts, technical expertise, and qualified repair assistance.

This service organization is backed by modern plants in both Ger- many and Denmark, plus a family of licensees who supply spares and maintain stocks in all major traffic centers. Immediate delivery of a wide range of important spare parts is available in any area of the world.

An additional service area de- velopment provides a range of maintenance management mod- ules which are tailored to suit in- dividual needs. This service in- cludes a highly developed and computer supported Compex maintenance system. Based on

A FAMILY

AFFAIR.

The biggest harbor towing company on the "Texas Gulf Coast is no faceless corporation. It's

Bay-Houston Towing. And it's owned and oper- ated by the Hadens, a family that has been involved in the towing business for over 100 years.

That's why their fleet of diesel tugs, all the way up to the 4,200-horsepower Captain W. D.

Haden, bears family names.

Doing the job better than anyone else can is more than a challenge. It's a family tradition.

Write 58 on Reader Service Card

B&W Alpha Division of B&W

Diesel A/S is a company in the

M.A.N.-B&W Diesel Group that designs, manufactures, markets, and services complete ship propul- sion systems.

For 1983, Alpha Diesel has com- pleted the integration of the in- line and V-version of the 20/27

M.A.N.-B&W Diesel engine and the in-line version of the 32/36

M.A.N.-B&W Diesel engine with already existing Alpha controlla- ble-pitch propeller equipment and gearboxes. This results in four- cycle diesel propulsion systems de- veloping as little as 680 hp at 1,000 rpm, which can burn heavy fuel oil to 2100 sec. Redwood 1 at 100 degrees F.

One of the new series being of- fered by Alpha Diesel is the new 20/27-VO propulsion system. While the engine itself is not new, it has been included in Alpha Diesel's complete propulsion system offer- ings. This propulsion system in- corporates the new Alphatronic I and Alphatronic II remote con- trols—the company's latest elec- tronic remote control systems.

Features of the new remote con- trol systems include: a) reliable at- tainment of economical operation through the optimum combination of engine rev/minute and propeller pitch; b) simple controls requiring minimum attention of the naviga- tor; c) simple installation (basi- cally a single electrical cable con- nection from the wheelhouse control panel to the engine); d) easy maintenance (with as many functions as possible on easily re- placeable printed circuit boards); and e) a clear, understandable dis- play of essential information.

The Alphatronic I is intended for vessels operating under widely varying conditions (for example, harbor tugs, trawlers, etc.) or where the maintenance of a specific en- gine or take-off rev/min is a major factor in operation. The Alpha- tronic II is designed for use on ships where operating conditions are not dominated by a fixed en- gine speed requirement, allowing free choice in the combination of rev/min and propeller pitch. With either system, the navigator can always override the automatic sys- tem should special circumstances require a different pitch of rev/ minute setting.

For more than 30 years, M.A.N, and B&W have been among the leaders in the development of four- stroke medium-speed diesel en- gines using heavy fuel. The L28/ 32 engine can provide maximum operating economy during both high and low load operations as well as idling by virtue of the fol- (continued on page 26) 24 Write 267 on Reader Service Card Write 255 on Reader Service Card Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
