Valcor Catalog Includes

Products For Marine

And Naval Applications —Literature Available

Valcor Engineering Corporation,

Springfield, N.J., has published a three-ring-binder Aerospace and

Support System catalog that in- cludes products that can be used in marine and naval applications.

Valcor Engineering has been a recognized leader in the design and manufacture of solenoid valves and critical flow control devices for air- craft, space and ground support sys- tems since 1951. As pioneers in the development of solenoid valves used in fuel, hydraulic, cryogenic, pneu- matic, and engine bleed air applica- tions, they have amassed a library of over 5,000 valve designs that are uti- lized to solve a wide variety of sys- tem problems.

Towing's vessel, the "Capt. Warren," has worked seven days per week, averaging nearly 7500 hours per year during the last two years. "In an opera- tion like this, noise is a problem. We feel the Cummins 4B is 2 to 3 times quieter than our previous auxiliary engine", said Bill Murrell, Jr., Vice

President—Hanover Towing,

Wilmington. NC.

While Hanover is pleased with the quiet operation, they also noted that in logging approximately 15,000 hours during this time, the Cummins 4B3.9G(M) engine experienced no major failures and was shut down only for routine maintenance.

That's the kind of reliability and durability that has made Cummins a recognized leader in the diesel- industry.

Available in 4 and 6 cylinder in-line configurations, the B engine's com- pact, light-weight design provides an excellent drive package for on-board auxiliary power applications in the 30-65 kW range. They contain up to 40"o fewer parts than comparable com- m ^m . » • I —m •

The catalog illustrates a broad view of Valcor's total Aerospace and

Support System product line. It is divided into three sections—the first covering five basic valve appli- cation areas, the second for special purposes, and the third for brake valves, hydraulic accumulators, pressurization systems and other products.

The index is arranged by valve type and application to allow the basic valve series for a particular petitive engines which means they are easier to service, lower in maintenance costs, and provide higher reliability.

Check into the Cummins B engines for auxiliary power. We think you'll agree they offer the best balance of fuel effi- ciency, durability, reliability and quiet performance in a compact, lightweight, cost effective package.

Nobody knows diesels better. "If you've ever worked a boat... you'll appreciate the quiet new B auxiliary engines from Cummins" f application to be readily found.

Each data sheet in the catalog rep- resents a valve series, not just a sin- gle valve.

Custom-tailored modifications can be made to any valve series to suit particular needs. To assist in making inquiries when choosing a

Valcor valve, Specification Check

Sheets are provided at the back of the catalog. The data requested on this form helps provide a prompt solution to valving problems.

The introduction to the catalog states that it is intended solely as a guide to Valcor's technological de- sign capability. The company's ex- perienced engineering staff stands ready to resolve the most difficult application problems for custom- ers.

The index in the catalog lists, along with the proper page number, the type, design, series number and description of fuel valves, hydraulic valves, engine bleed gas valves, cryogenic valves, pneumatic valves, special purpose valves, and K-prod- ucts.

In addition to a photograph of the product and a cutaway drawing, each data sheet gives the descrip- tion, valve type, application, fea- tures and operation and complete specifications and ratings for each number in the valve series.

Apelco Introduces

Loudhailer With

Two-Way Intercom

And Alarm Features

Apelco Marine Electronics has in- troduced a new loudhailer system, the HXL 1000 Hailer/Listener, with a two-way intercom and built-in alarm interface.

Unlike most loudhailers, the

Apelco HXL 1000 two-way intercom will allow calls to be initiated from remote intercom stations to the master station. The speaker at an optional remote station, in the gal- ley, for example, could initiate a call to a master station on a flybridge or other location. Up to three remote

Apelco intercom stations can be used with the HXL 1000.

The Apelco loudhailer makes faint sounds audible from distant buoys, distress calls, pounding surf, etc. Its powerful 50-watt peak power speaker projects the operator's voice loudly over great distances. The

HXL 1000 has a manual and auto- matic foghorn with automatic lis- tening between blasts. The auto- matic mode is adjustable from one blast in five seconds to one blast in 120 seconds. The manual control is a push-to-talk button at the micro- phone. An alarm interface is built-in and can be used with most standard security alarms.
