ETA-Pilot Fuel Saving System

Now Marketed Worldwide By SSPA

SSPA Systems, responsible for the development and marketing of the Roll-Nix Control System for roll reduction using rudder control, has now also taken over the marketing of the ETA-Pilot fuel saving system, an original product wholly devel- oped and manufactured in Sweden and now available from SSPA repre- sentatives around the world.

The ETA-Pilot has been in opera- tion since 1982. There are now over 65 of these systems in use around the globe.

By efficiently controlling the ship's speed, engine rpm, pitch set- ting and fuel consumption, the

ETA-Pilot—a microprocessor- based control and monitoring sys- tem—is capable of maintaining a given speed or consumption throughout the voyage. Savings of 5-15 percent on normal consump- tion have been recorded under real operating conditions. The ETA-

Pilot is not only a conventional mea- suring and displaying system, it is also a real-time microcomputer- based measuring and control system that continuously monitors and con- trols the engine speed and pitch set- ting in order to minimize fuel con- sumption.

ETA-Pilot features include: maintenance of a preset speed re- lated to distance and time of arrival; automatic regulation of propeller pitch and engine speed for mini- mum fuel consumption at all speeds and under widely varying operating conditions; presetting of a maxi- mum fuel consumption, i.e., a spe-

ETA-Pilot can be fitted to all types of ships, not only to ships with CP- propellers; and a special package for statistical analysis of several per- formance variables is available as an optional function.
