all heavy fuels available on the market. The engine is fitted with water-cooled cages and exhaust valves, especially adapted to the fuel's vanadium content. The ad- vanced technology of the PC-2.6 engine enables it to burn the poor- est foreseeable heavy fuel without major modifications.

The Colt Pielstick PC-4.2V, rated from 16,270 to 29,286 bhp, is able to burn residual fuels of up to 4,000 sec. Redwood #1 at 100 F with a 400 ppm vanadium content.

The Colt Pielstick engines are backed by SEMT Pielstick's ongo- ing research and development pro- grams. The PC engine family has approximately 60 million hours of experience running on heavy fuels. six-cylinder models developing 400- 475 continuous bhp at 1,800 rpm; displacement is 1,150 cubic inches (18.9 liters).

The KT/KTA-2300 and KTA- 3067-M engines, introduced in 1978 and 1980, respectively, complete the Cummins product line with high horsepower, reliability, dura- bility, and fuel economy. The 2300 series engines are a 12-cylinder, V configuration design with a dis- placement of 2,300 cubic inches (27.8 liters). The turbocharged en- gine has a rating of 800 bhp at 1,800 rpm, and the turbo/after- cooled version has a 940 bhp rat- ing at 1,800 rpm.

The KTA-3067-M engine is rated at 1,250 bhp at 1,800 rpm for con- tinuous-duty applications. It is a 16-cylinder engine with 3,067-cu- bic-inch (50.3-liter) displacement.

Recognized at their introduction as the most fuel-efficient marine diesel engines in their horsepower range, the K series engines have been improved continually to re- duce specific fuel consumption.

Over the past three years, Cum- mins has reduced the specific fuel consumption for these models an additional 2-3 percent.

Combustion Engineering, Inc. is a leading supplier of steam gener- ating equipment for the marine industry, both military and com- mercial. CE has designed and manufactured main propulsion, auxiliary, and waste heat boilers for more than 40 years. In addi- tion to new product design and manufacture, CE offers after-mar- ket support including service and

OEM parts.

In recent years, CE has been in- volved in various marine research and development projects includ- ing improved boiler reliability, de- velopment of improved oil atomiz- ers, and development of low excess air burners.

While marine steam generators have always been capable of burn- ing degraded fuels, many shipown- ers are looking for alternative fuels to reduce their operating costs. CE has been actively involved in the development of modern, coal-fired marine boilers, with four ships presently in service and two more scheduled for delivery in 1984.

As another alternative, some shipowners are interested in burn- ing PETCOM (petroleum coke/oil slurry). Hereto, Combustion Engi- neering has been at the forefront of this new technology, performing atomization and combustion tests for marine boilers.

Cummins Engine Company manufactures six series of marine diesel engines rated from 170 to 1,250 bhp, continuous-duty opera- tion. Designed for heavy-duty workboat and fishboat applica- tions, both main propulsion and ship service auxiliary power,

Cummins engines have developed a reputation over the years for fuel-efficient power.

Since the mid-1970s, the Cum- mins K marine engines have de- veloped a reputation for fuel effi- ciency as well as reliability. The

KT/KTA-1150 series are in-line,
