Kone Fels Secures $3.6-Million Contract

For Two Gantry Cranes

Kone Fels Cranes Pte Ltd, a sub- sidiary of Far East Levingston Ship- building Limited (FELS), has se- cured a $3.6-million contract to de- sign and manufacture two rubber- tired gantry cranes for the Burma

Ports Corporation.

The cranes will be built under license from Ferranti Container

Handling Ltd of the U.K. and will be used for transferring containers between vessels alongside and trail- ers at the quay.

Besides the Burmese order, Kone

Fels has delivered similar cranes to the Port of Trinidad and Tobago and also the Port of Singapore Au- thority.

Medium-Speed Diesel Engines

For Naval Ship Applications —Free Literature Available—

A medium-speed diesel engine de- signed for heavy fuel operation and low fuel oil consumption is an ideal basis for engines with the load pro- file for naval operations.

Such medium-speed engines should be designed for: continuous operation; dependability; excellent economy; heavy fuel operation; and minimum service requirement. Ad- ditionally, these engines should be compact, with a simple design and uncomplicated systems.

In turn, engines with these char- acteristics would be well-suited for: high shock loads; extended low load; high operational safety of both the engine and its systems; preventive maintenance; shock load safety; and low emissions.

Diesel engine manufacturer

Krupp Mak, which has more than 100 years' experience in naval equipment, offers a number of me- dium-speed, four-stroke heavy fuel engines in the output range from 740 to 9,900 kw (1,000-13,500 hp) under the trade name Mak.

For example, Krupp Mak offers the heavy-fuel engines M453C and the M332, both of which boost low fuel consumption. The company re- ports that both engines feature good ratio of maximum to mean piston pressures, but a moderate, and therefore operational safe values.

Additionally, the moderate engine load permits a very favorable com- pression ratio. The engines run very clean at low loads, partially as the result of high injection energy.

Both engines feature clean and simple construction. Through fine tuning and the use of high-grade spheroidal graphite iron casting, both engines feature excellent rigid- ity and thus low vibration.

The relatively long piston strokes are essential for Mak engines. They permit quiet running of the engine with high mechanical efficiency.

The cylinder air exchange is more effective as with a short stroke en- gine. The engines are built for a low thermal load, in order to be suitable for heavy fuel oil operation. This will provide the highest operational safety at frequently changing loads, which are usual in naval operation.

A bonus of the Mak engines' designs is an extremely clean exhaust. The marriage of nitrided cylinder liners and the all-around chromium plat- ing of the piston rings and asso- ciated ring grooves result in ex- tremely low wear, and consequently, excellent lube oil consumption.

Since the engines are designed for rough operation, an unusually long overall service life is expected for naval operation. Piston rings should be changed after 20,000 hours, valves overhauled at 10,000 hours and pistons and cylinder liners should have a service life approxi- mately equal to the life cycle of the engine itself.
