Bailey Refrigeration Helps

Refit Cruise Ship

When the Amerikanis from

Chandris/Fantasy Cruises needed a new refrigeration plant, Bailey Re- frigeration designed and built the entire system, and installed it while the passenger ship was in drydock for normal maintenance.

The provision plant on the

Amerikanis had machinery that was over 50 years old, according to Ben

Bailey, president.

After analyzing the ship's needs,

Bailey engineers recommended a screw compressor systems that uses refrigerant R22.

This particular refrigerant was selected because of environmental considerations, as well as its avail- ability.

According to Mr. Bailey, every effort was made to keep the system simple in order to enhance its ser- viceability. The main machinery package consisted of two horizontal open type mini-screw compressors, direct driven by 3,500 rpm electric motors discharging into two marine condensers. Both systems are avail- able for pull down and only one sys- tem is required for normal opera- tion. In order to eliminate lengthy downtime with the system changeover, the refrigeration pack- age was designed and built at Bailey

Refrigeration's Avenel, N.J., facil- ity.

Louisiana Dept. Of Wildlife

Buys 10 Boston Whaler's

In order to stengthen its offshore law enforcement activities, the Loui- siana Department of Wildlife and

Fisheries, headquartered in Baton

Rouge, La., recently purchased 10 new 19-foot Guardian Class workboats from the Commercial

Products division of Boston Whaler,

Inc. The new boats will be used in a variety of capacities, from routine patrol to search and rescue missions along the state's Gulf Coast areas.

Purchase of the ten new Guard- ians reflects the Department's grow- ing responsibility to provide effec- tive and efficient policing of

Louisiana's marshy, uneven coast, which totals 7,721 miles of tidal shoreline.

Equipped with a long deck up- grade and high pattern side rails for easy boarding, the ten Guardian 19's will be used for harbor and offshore patrol work as well as boating safety and education programs.

They will also play a major role in the enforcement of commercial and sport fishing regulations, search and rescue missions, when requested and other crisis situations.

The Guardian 19' is reportedly a tough, unsinkable general purpose workboat, capable of operating well offshore, yet its shallow draft per- mits easy access into shallow har- bors, sheltered bays and rivers.

Equipped with Loran and Radio instrumentation, the Guardian is an all-weather workboat.

The Commercial Products Divi- sion of Boston Whaler builds the

Guardian Class, all-fiberglass workboats for the demanding ser- vice inherent in long hours of patrol, rescue and law enforcement opera- tion. Powered by 175-hp Mercury outboards, the Guardian 19' offers speeds of 40 mph.
