Circle 57 on Reader Service Card 570-K and 571-K—Power for the Future—12 well-illustrated full-color pages. Complete data on these dual-shaft engines include photos, illustrations, performance graphs and specification tables.

Circle 58 on Reader Service Card 501-K and 570-K—16 full-color pages. Photos, cutaway color illus- trations, mechanical drawings, per- formance graphs, specification ta- bles and material specifications.

Modular design is illustrated—de- tails include reduced maintenance factors, distribution capibilities, field support, options, etc.

Circle 59 on Reader Service Card • Combustor Development—The annular combustion liner was rede- signed (for the Royal Canadian De- fense Forces) to eliminate visible smoke. This improvement is now being used on all 570-K engines. • Turbine Hot Section—Blade cooling has been improved with modified air passages. Vane life has been extended through material changes and cooling techniques. • Thrust Balancing—570 engines now use a tilting pad thrust bearing system mounted aft of the power turbine that absorbs the 6,000- pounds of axial load in the power turbine. The effect of this change has more than doubled shaft bear- ing life.

The 570 has been selected by the

Canadian Navy for cruise power on their 5,000-ton Tribal class de- stroyer. The vessels are scheduled for updating and modernization be- ginning in 1987 when a pair of 570-

KF engines will be installed in each.

A major improvement was imple- mented this year when Allison in- troduced the Model 571-KF engine.

This engine shares the gas generator design with the 570, but has a three- stage power turbine. It is 20 percent more powerful and 12 percent more fuel efficient. The engine has a con- tinuous standard day, no-loss rating of 7,694 shaft horsepower and can operate in excess of 8,000 shp inter- mittently. The 571 was field-tested for over 900 hours prior to shipment of the first production unit in Janu- ary 1986. Meanwhile 570-K engines have accumulated over 220,000 total hours of service time. The improve- ment mentioned above will allow that total to increase rapidly. •

On MARPAC Ball Valves

From Mark Controls

A new 12-page color brochure published by Mark Controls Corpo- ration of Skokie, 111., describes the complete MARPAC ball valve prod- uct line, one of the broadest selec- tions of automated and manual ball valves available. MARPAC ball valves are well-suited for applica- tions requiring tight shutoff, but can be used in some modulating ser- vices. For heavy slurries requiring tight shutoff, MARPAC metal seated flanged valves have been field-proven to provide very effec- tive performance and extended cy- cle life.

Augmenting Mark Controls' broad line of MARPAC ball valves is a complete line of actuators and automation accessories. These prod- ucts include all types of actuator accessories capable of handling any control need. Mark Controls' stan- dard line of actuators includes the

Series 80 and 89 pneumatic and the

Series 20/22 electric actuators.

Mark Controls Corporation man- ufactures and markets a broad line of automated and manual specialty valves and flow control products and services.

Split open a bottle of champagne.

At Split. o

Latest to split a bottle of champagne was the Greek

Avin International Corporation, one of over 30 international organisations which have entrusted us with major shipbuilding projects.

For on June 28 we launched the "Kriti Champion", the third of five vessels we are constructing for them. k And the 271 st ship we have launched,, giving us a grand production total of 4,835,641 tdw.

Which is worth celebrating. /
