MES Delivers Low-Speed

Diesel Powerplant To CEM

An international consortium con- sisting of Mitsui Engineering &

Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (MES) and its fully-owned subsidiary

Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian

Contractor AS (BWSC) have deliv- ered a 100-MW, low-speed, two- stroke, diesel-driven electric pow- erplant — one of the most powerful in the world — to Companhia de electricidade de Macau (CEM).

The plant consists of two Mitsui-

MAN B&W 12K90MC-S diesel engines.

I6140AL2 Diesel Engine

Lugger's L6140AL2 diesel engine is based on the L6140AL, but con- tains significant changes which reportedly give it more horsepower while maintaining the reliability and efficiency of its predecessor.

The new ratings for the 930 c.i.d. (15.24 L) diesel are: high output, 799 hp at 2,100 rpm; medium duty 600 hp at 2,100 rpm; and continu- ous duty 500 hp at 1,800 rpm. The 700 hp rating is already at work in 32 ft. (9.7 m) Bristol Bay gillnet- ters in Alaska.

The new model's high output

L6140AL2's cooling system fea- tures a new, higher capacity, gear- driven jacket water circulation pump. Keel-cooled models have a new centrifugal pump dedicated to the freshwater aftercooler cooling circuit. On heat exchanger cooled versions, a supplemental heat exchanger has been integrated into the aftercooler cooling circuit.

Other changes include new con- necting rod bearings, 12-hole fuel injection nozzles and turbocharger.

NNS Wins Contract To

Design Ele

Motor For U.S. Navy

Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS), a division of Tenneco, has won a $15.6 million contract from the U.S. Navy to design a 25,000- hp electric motor that could lead to future ship propulsion systems.

The shipyard is also designing and building a half-size demonstration prototype motor for testing.

NNS is the lead company on the

Permanent Magnet Electric Drive

Propulsion Motor System project.

Other team members are Northrop

Grumman Marine Systems of

Sunnyvale, Calif., and Kaman

Electromagnetics Corp. of Hudson,

Mass.

The motor under development is called an Axial Field Permanent

Magnet Ship Propulsion System, and reportedly generates as much power as larger conventional motors. It is being developed for 56 use on the Navy's next generation of surface warships, but could also be applied in commercial ships. A smaller motor aboard ship means more room for other valuable sys- tems for cargo.
