New Turbine Engine

Prototype Tested

For Marine Market

The Eurodyn program partners,

Turbomeca, Ulstein and Volvo

Flygmotor, have achieved a signifi- cant milestone with the first engine test of the Eurodyn prototype at the

Turbomeca plant in France.

A second prototype is being pre- pared for testing at the Ulstein Tur- bine facilities in Norway.

Eurodyn, which is a two-shaft en- gine in the 2.5- to three-MW power range, has a reported simple cycle thermal efficiency of 35 percent. Its compact size and light weight are desirable features for today's marine market.

The high pressure ratio compres- sor was developed by Turbomeca, which also supplied the auxiliary gear box and engine accessories. Ulstein

Turbine developed the engine hot section, which features a multiple low-emission combustor and a ra- dial gas-generator turbine. Ulstein also developed a compact and ver- satile reduction gear box for the engine. The inter-turbine duct and free power turbine section, compris- ing two axial stages, were devel- oped by Volvo Flygmotor and its subsidiary, United Turbine. They also supplied the engine manage- ment and fuel control system.

Pilot applications are targeted in 1994, with preserial engines to b tested in the marine and othe industries. Eurodyn will be teste in a turbogenerator package i]

France and in a high speed vesse in Norway.

NRC, Donjon Marine

Announce Multi-Year

Cooperation Agreement

National Response Corporation (NRC) and Donjon Marine Co.,

Inc./Clean Venture have an- nounced a multi-year agreement to combine NRC's extensive pol- lution capability and Donjon's nationwide salvage and firefighting capability.

Donjon's "Atlantic Salvor," a 210-foot vessel, will be fitted with environmental cleanup equip- ment and will also have the latest firefighting and salvage equip- ment on board. The 7,000-hp ves- sel, capable of a speed of 15 knots with a VLCC rescue and towing capacity, will be employed in sal- vage work as needed, but will be on call to NRC to meet Coast Guard requirements under the Oil Pollu- tion Act of 1990 (OPA 90). The vessel will be based in New York.

In addition to chartering the

Atlantic Salvor, NRC will serve as

Donjon's non-exclusive agent to market OPA-mandated salvage and firefighting services. The com- pany is based in New Jersey and has recently commenced opera- tions on the West Coast and US

Gulf.
