Carrier Transicold Donates

Air Conditioning Units

To Cousteau Vessel

Paul Clobridge, left, manager, service parts, United Tech- nologies' Carrier Transicold. and Jacques Cousteau dis- cuss marine air conditioning technology in the cabin of the

Alcyone.

United Technologies' Carrier Transicold Divi- sion recently donated two water source heat pump systems to The Cousteau Society (Fonda- tion Cousteau) to meet the cabin environmental needs of Jacques Cousteau's new experimen- tal windship, the Alcyone. The two water source heat pump systems will provide the vessel with its only source of heating and cooling.

The Alcyone is an all-aluminum vessel built for the high seas. It is designed with two Turbo- sail™ (Turbovoile) units that utilize wind as a propulsion source.

The Turbosail system is designed to cut fuel costs for commercial vessels by 15 to 30 percent, depending on the routes sailed and winds encountered. The ship includes a pair of diesel engines for primary power.

The 103-foot-long Alcyone is equipped with a pair of Carrier 50VQ048 water source heat pump systems. In addition to providing in-cabin com- fort for the 12 crew members, the vertically installed Carrier air conditioning helps maintain a proper indoor temperature for a variety of electronic, radar and computer research equip- ment on-board the Alcyone. Captain Cousteau was pleased with the air conditioning on the ship's recent maiden voyage, adding that with- out the system the ship would have felt like a "World War II submarine."

Energy conservation was a critical factor in construction of the windship. Due to electrical load requirements for navigation aids, lighting and other functions, maximum generator capac- ity for the air conditioning was 6 kw. Carrier

Transicold specified the two highly efficient, 4- ton, corrosive resistant systems and specially adapted both units to marine configurations.

Carrier also provided shipboard spare parts.

Employees at Carrier's Bramalea, Ontario,

Canada manufacturing facility have signed a testimonial for Captain Cousteau citing their pride in building the Carrier units delivered to him. The testimonial will be presented to Cap- tain Cousteau by Stephen Munn, president,

Carrier Transicold, at The Cousteau Society headquarters in Norfolk, Va.

Alcyone, refer to article entitled "Cousteau's

Experimental Windship 'Alcyone' Arrives In

New York," on page 12 in the July 16 issue of

Dravo Wellman Gets Order

From Tampa Electric For

Continuous Ship Unloader

Dravo Wellman Company, a division of Dravo

Corporation of Pittsburgh, has been awarded a contract by Tampa Electric Company to design and construct a slewing type continuous ship unloader for the utility's Tampa, Fla., generat- ing station. To be designed with a high degree of programability, the unit will be capable of remote-controlled unloading of coal from ships and oceangoing barges at a rate of 2,300 tons per hour. Vessels of up to 36,000 dwt will be accom- modated.

The unloader will incorporate new belt tech- nology developed by Dravo Wellman, reducing its total weight and eliminating the need for any major shoreside modifications. Completion of the new unit is scheduled by the end of 1986.

Unaflex Introduces 'Supreme'

Tapered Expansion Joints —Literature Available

Cross section of the Unaflex "Supreme" Tapered Expan- sion Joint.

Unaflex Rubber Corporation, Ft. Lauderdale,

Fla., recently announced the availability of its "Supreme" tapered expansion joints in reducing type configurations. The joints are available for pressure or vacuum applications found in heat- ing/air-conditioning and ventilating systems, marine systems, sewage treatment plants, power generating plants and many industrial piping systems. "Supreme" tapered expansion joints are used to connect pipelines of unequal diameters, whether parallel or offset (concentric or eccen- tric) and even with an initial misalignment of less than % inch. The "Supreme" expansion joint absorbs sound, vibration and movement in pip- ing systems.

The joints are supplied with 125-pound drilled duck and rubber flanges as standard, but are available with special drilling and non-stan- dard flanges. Other variations include: open- or filled-single or multiple arches; special wide arches; or no arch at all. A wide variety of elas- tomers for handling fuels, chemicals, water, oils, slurries, etc. is available, including Viton® and

Teflon®.
