Aside from the sessions, there are also Free Exhibitor Workshops, from "MultiSurf 3-D Modeler," a demonstration of the MultiSurf three-dimensional design program for PCs by Michael Shook and

John Letcher of AeroHydro, to "Respiratory Protection in the

Workplace," given by Mike

Martinez and Bruce Penning of 3M OH & ESD, an examination of the respiratory hazards of expo- sure to some boatbuilding materi- als dealing with what protective measures should be employed and when.

Allison Engine Provides

High-Speed Propulsion

Allison Engine Co. has provided marine gas turbine propulsion en- gines since 1973 in a variety of ap- plications including commercial and military hydrofoils, destroyers, cor- vettes and luxury yachts. The en- gines which have supplied these marine services are the 501-KF and the 570/571-KF.

The 501-KF has been uprated twice: first by increasing the engine firing temperature from 1,800° F to 1,860° F, and then by increasing the firing temperature to 1,935° F. The second uprated model is called the 501-KF5. Overall, the 501-KF upratings offer more power and higher fuel efficiencies with no in- crease in engine weight and a maxi- mum number of common parts.

The 571-KF engine offers many improvements geared to increase life and reduce costs. The improve- ments include: newly designed an- nular combustion; improved turbine vane coatings; long-life hot gas path thermocouples; single crystal first turbine blades; strengthened com- pressor blades; and compressor vari- able vane schedule optimization.

Sulzer S20 Engines Now

Offer Standardized Ratings

Sulzer S20 diesel engines are now offered at the same power and speed ratings for operation on both heavy fuel oil and marine diesel oil. Avail- able with four, six, eight and nine cylinders, the S20 now has a maxi- mum continuous output of 160 kW/ cylinder (217.5 bhp/cylinder) at 1,000 rpm, regardless of the type of fuel used. It covers the power range from 460 to 1,440 kW (620-1,960 bhp) over a speed range of 720 to 1,000 rpm.

The standardized ratings give a 10 percent increase in output on heavy fuel oil to exactly the rating already employed for installation using marine diesel oil. With a 200mm cylinder bore and a 300mm piston stroke, the Sulzer S20 is pur- pose-designed for pier-to-pier con- tinuous operation on heavy fuels. It has real 700 cSt heavy fuel capabil- ity, being able to accept fuels up to

ISO class RMH55 in generating set applications. Along with the stan- dardized ratings, the engine specifi- cation including the turbocharging match has been unified. For free information from Sulzer on the S20,
