Reliable Combustion Engineering waste heat recovery boilers are helping the Navy cut the cost of turning seawater into drinking water aboard the Ticonderoga (CG-47) class guided missile cruisers.

And that's not all our waste heat recovery boilers do. They generate high-quality saturated steam for ship's heating as well as steam for the galley, laundry and de-icing system.

Annual projected fuel savings for a CG-47 class ship is esti- mated at more than $200,000. (Based on three waste heat boil- ers per ship, operating an aver- age of 5,000 hours a year, with a steam usage of 7,000 pounds per hour; fuel at $20 per barrel.)

Achieving savings like these obviously requires high reliability.

And our boilers have proven they can deliver. With over 80,000 accumulated operating hours aboard the Ticonderoga, York- town, Vincennes, and Valley

Forge and at the NAVSSES test facility in Philadelphia, our equip- ment has operated without a single boiler-related failure.

What's more, the boilers are designed with maintenance in mind by incorporating ample access to the gas and water sides. This has contributed to the excellent operating record.

Powerful ideas like our waste heat recovery boilers are typical of Combustion Engineering's commitment to the U.S. Navy.
