BMEP Balancer

Used To Increase Fuel

Efficiency In Diesels

BMEP Balancer Model 300-A

The power an engine develops is dependent on the pressure developed in its cylinder or cylinders. The General Thermodynamics Corpo- ration, Plymouth, Mass., uses this pressure to sense the power developed in various types of engines. Its initial application was in an aircraft engine to give a continuous reading of developed power when driving a constant speed propeller.

This is equivalent to driving a variable-pitch propeller on a ship, whereby engine power can be varied widely at any given engine speed.

For shipboard use to date, this concept is applied mostly in the form of the BMEP Bal- ancer, Model 300-A, to equalize the power distri- bution among the cylinders of an engine. With the balancer, it is said to be possible to make a fuel adjustment on a cylinder, increasing or decreasing the power developed, while watching the instrument reading move to the desired val- ue. This would optimize fuel consumption and remove the danger of overloading a cylinder or cylinders, as well as bearings, and results in a quieter, smoother-running engine.

The actual power being developed by a run- ning engine can be read by referring the balanc- er reading to a calibration chart.

The balancer attaches to a standard indicator valve and continuously senses combustion chamber pressure. There is no need for external excitation, and it is direct reading.

System For Renovating Floors

Described In New Brochure —Literature Available

A new six-page, four-color brochure from Sel- by, Battersby & Co. describes the Selby System, in which thorough investigation, proper subfloor preparation and field-tested installation proce- dures produce years of trouble-free flooring ser- vice.

Abuse from chemicals or just simple wear and tear can reduce floors in industrial, institutional and commercial buildings into pitted, dangerous surfaces. New construction may be impractical or too expensive. The brochure describes how to evaluate problems on-site and how to select the most effective rehabilitation method and best flooring material for the area.

The brochure contains color and black and white photos showing typical before/after instal- lations. Facts about surface preparation, cost- effectiveness, chemical and physical abuse, safe- ty, waterproof capabilities, decorative materials and maintenance are all detailed.

Almost any customized flooring need can be satisfied with Selby's multiple product line, according to the brochure, and the firm's trained applicators and representatives are located throughout the U.S. and in many international markets.

New 28-Page Catalog Describes

Broad Line Of Pressure, Pump

Flow & Level Marine Products

Available From Single Source

Transamerica Delaval has available a new 28- page catalog describing the company's broad range of marine products. These products are manufactured worldwide to meet international marine standards.

For the first time, these products can be found in a single catalog. They are manufactured by

Barksdale Controls, Gems Sensors Division,

Pyramid Pump Division, Weka AG, Transamer- ica Instruments Ltd., and Delaval Turbine

GmbH.

Also illustrated in the catalog are marine applications for both shipboard and offshore use. Products described are pressure switches, transducers, signal-conditioned transmitters and vibration sensors. Also included are temper- ature switches and flow switches, as well as many different types of level switches and indi- cators: non-electric, externally mounted, manu- al check, sounding tapes, etc.

The catalog lists international marine approv- als for the various products. All products in- cluded are backed by worldwide sales, service and manufacturing.
