Jacques Cousteau Receives

Testimonial Plaque From

Carrier Transicold Employees

CELASA (Protexa Group) recently an- nounced the availability of its new yard location in the Port of Altamira in the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Offshore mar- ket.

In addition to its present Gulf yard in Tux- pan, Veracruz, which is capable of building jack- ets up to 700 feet, the CELASA yard in the new port of Altamira will be capable of building the largest structures now on the drawing boards such as 1,600-foot jackets, 2,000-foot towers, or heavy TLPs.

Carrier Transicold Division president Stephen P. Munn presents Jacques Cousteau with a testimonial plaque,signed with pride by the Carrier employees who built two air conditioning systems donated to the Alcyone,

Captain Cousteau's experimental windship.

Jacques Cousteau's experimental wind- ship Alcyone completed its maiden voyage across the Atlantic last June, thanks in part to two water source heat pump systems donated by

United Technologies' Carrier Transicold Divi- sion. The pride of Carrier employees who built the systems was recognized as Carrier Transi- cold Division president Stephen P. Munn pre- sented a testimonial plaque bearing their signa- tures to Captain Cousteau at the Cousteau

Society Headquarters in Norfolk, Va. "We're pleased the water source heat heat pump systems were of service to Captain Cous- teau," said Mr. Munn, presenting the plaque on behalf of employees at Carrier's Bramalea,

Ontario, manufacturing facility. "For us at Car- rier Transicold, it was a point of pride to apply our work to such an important, innovative undertaking."

The 50VQ048 heat pumps are Alcyone's only source of heating and cooling. In addition to pro- viding in-cabin comfort for the crew members, the vertically installed units help maintain proper indoor temperatures for the sensitive electronic, radar and research equipment on board.

Carrier Transicold specified the highly effi- cient, corrosive-resistant systems to conform to

Alcyone's strict energy conservation require- ments, and specially adapted both units to marine configurations. The Division also don- ated shipboard spare parts.

Captain Cousteau appreciated the results, saying that without the Carrier systems, Al- cyone's interior would have felt like "a World

War II submarine." Equipped with two alumi- num Turbosail® cylinders resembling masts, Al- cyclone utilizes wind propulsion through a de- sign concept borrowed from aviation wing tech- nology. During the next two years, the ship will continue a series of expeditions to test the Tur- bosail system.

Carrier Transicold is a leading global manu- facturer of transport refrigeration and air condi- tioning equipment for trucks, trailers, contain- ers, buses, ships and railway cars.
