ung Radiator Offers erature On Finned Tube indie Heat Exchanger

Young Radiator Co. has intro- tced a new bulletin describing its ;w RFF Finned Tube Bundle Heat cchanger. The bulletin provides mensional information on all of aung's 200, 300 and 500 Series

FF Heat Exchangers. Young's nned bundle design allows for tore cooling capacity than a con- sntional exchanger. As a result, a nailer, less expensive heat trans- ;r package can be installed.

Young RFF Heat Exchangers are vailable in 20 different sizes in ne- or two-pass tubeside flow con- iguration. Heat exchangers come n tube lengths up to 48 inches and itandard shell diameters of two, hree and five inches.

Compact design of Young RFF cleat Exchangers feature copper ;ubes roll-expanded into headers

For increased unit durability and life. Aluminum fins provide a sec- ondary surface for optimum oil cool- ing. And, since less primary tube surface is needed, lower cooling water flow is required.

Agema Supplies Infrared

Scanners To Navy Ships

Agema Infrared Systems pro- duces the Thermovision infrared imager, a new product being phased into the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier maintenance program, according to the manufacturer.

The Thermovision unit weighs about three pounds and is roughly the size of an 8 mm camcorder, facilitating an operator's access to tight spots aboard ship.

Onboard every aircraft carrier is an electrical power system, upwards of20,000 kW, to power the ship and the hundreds of life support and operational systems and devices.

For monitoring the condition of the distribution components that con- nect the thousands of systems that use electricity, the Navy, like many shore-based utilities, uses infrared scanning to detect trouble spots. "First the ships undergo a com- plete infrared inspection by profes- sional thermographers, after a ma- jor overhaul or modification. On average, this works out to about once every two years," said Gil

Benoit, infrared project manager for PERA (CV), a detachment of the

U.S. Naval Sea Systems command that serves as a planning office for the modernization and repair and maintenance of the country's air- craft carrier fleet. "Then, all major electrical equip- ment is inspected for excessive com- ponent temperatures while the ship is operational at sea."

Holset Engineering Receives

Accreditation For ISO-9001

Forty-year-old Holset Engineer- ing Company, North American divi- sion has received accreditation for the ISO-9001 Quality Standard by

BVQI.

The accreditation covers the de- sign and manufacture of resilient couplings, crankshaft dampers, tur- bochargers and air compressors.

They join their operations in En- gland, which received this certifica- tion in 1991.

Holset offers a broad range of products and services for the diesel and marine industries.

Company focus is on engineering solutions to torsional vibration prob- lems in all rotating equipment, from main propulsion to auxiliary drives.

Their products include resilient cou- plings, both rubber-in-compression and rubber-in-shear type, and crank- shaft dampers.

Engineering services start with computer analysis, and another area of expertise is trouble shooting and field measurement.

Using the latest in laser vibrometers and telemetry equip- ment, Holset can quickly trouble- shoot any vibration problem in ro- tating equipment.

Trimble 6alaxy Inmarsat-C/GPS'"

Two of the brightest ideas in maritime safety.

For those at sea, GMDSS is a great idea—the first truly "global" system for responding to distress. But for those saddled with the responsibility for selecting equipment to meet the new stan- dards, GMDSS itself can be quite distressing.

Now there's help at last. Introducing

Galaxy — the first Inmarsat type-approved system to combine the world-wide commu- nication powers of Inmarsat-C, with the precision of GPS navigation, in a single inte- grated unit. Together they not only exceed the applicable communication requirements of GMDSS, but also provide a host of new capabilities for tracking and com- municating with ships at sea.

The tracking and communication capabilities of Galaxy give fleet operators a powerful new tool for managing their ships.

The home office can broadcast up-to-the-minute routing information to specific ships, redirecting them to suit changing business opportunities. And since messages from the ship can include GPS position, the office can precisely monitor the movements of every ship in the fleet.

In an emergency, the push of a button on the Galaxy remote alert panel transmits a distress message to the selected Rescue

Coordination Center. Included are the ship's identity, its position, speed, course, and the time and type of distress. No time is wasted, and with GPS position information rescuers will know right where to look.

To help ships stay out of distress situations, Inmarsat's

SafetyNet" service broadcasts weather and other safety notices to vessels within specific geographic areas. Galaxy auto- matically selects the appropriate NAVAREA based on its GPS position data. Other NAVAREAs may be selected manually.

Give us a call and we'll show you how complying with

GMDSS can be one of the brightest business decisions you've ever made.
