Alfa-Laval Focuses On Economical

Life-Cycle Concept

For The Engine Room

Alfa-Laval reports that it focus is now, more than ever, on preventive maintenance and total economy for the shipowner throughout the life- cycle of the ship. As well as spare parts, repairs, regasketing and other technical backup, Alfa-Laval offers full upgrading and replacement pro- grams.

The company offers a wide range of oil treatment equipment, desali- nation plants and central cooling systems which are based on Alfa-

Laval plate heat exchangers.

The CIP Cleaning-in-Place Sys- tem allows for the bowl interior to be cleaned without opening the sepa- rator which allows for maintenance to performed about every 3,000 hours or three times a year as com- pared to every few weeks as is often the case today.

The company's Heatpac Electric

Heating Systems are designed for heat treatment of detergent lubri- cating oils and fuels prior to cen- trifugal cleaning and fuel injection into diesel engines. The EHS sys- tem is reported to provide optimum heating of all types of mineral oils, sensitive lubricating oils and tur- bine oils.

Alfa-Laval also offers the MMPX

Box-Oil Cleaning Plant, the Alcap

Separation System, the Viscochief

Automatic Viscosity Control System and many other systems for oil treat- ment.

Alfa-Laval Desalt offers desali- nation and cooling plants for the marine industry. The division re- cently introduced its new Plate

Reefer Condenser which reportedly can be substituted for virtually any existing condenser and has a re- ported efficiency of two to three time that of traditional condensers.

Among Desalt's thermal systems is the D-PCU Engardtm Control Sys- tem for central cooling systems which is reportedly designed for to- tal optimization of centralized cool- ing water systems by combined con- trol of freshwater temperature and seawater pumps.

Desalt also offers various types of distillers which operate off the waste heat from diesel engines or low pres- sure steam and require very little maintenance.
