PROPULSION REPAIR & SERVICES GUIDE (Continued, from page 32) of the original equipment manu- facturer, pose a risk to the long- term reliability of machinery.

While acknowledging that the prices for genuine spare parts are often higher than those command- ed by spares from unauthorized sources, MAN B&W points out that it has to bear product develop- ment costs, that it cannot compro- mise on quality, and supports its parts with a full guarantee. For instance, it offers a 24-month extended guarantee on original two-stroke piston crowns, cylinder liners and cylinder covers.

The company line is that "a chain is only as strong as its weak- est link, and to use non-original spare parts is to play Russian roulette with safety at sea". The far longer lifetime of original spares may save a lot of money in the long-run, it contends.

Investments have been made in the Copenhagen works to ensure

KEEPS YOU GOING

Fuel and lub oil

In the heavy end of the CJC range you find special units for the fil- tration and conditioning of heavy fuel, camshaft and piston rod lub systems on large, two- stroke diesels.

Here a heavy fuel unit for an MAN B&W engine.

In the operation of modern ships, cruise or cargo, oil is a very important component, involved in propulsion, lubrication, and po- wer transmission. So keeping your fuel, lub ? m oil, and hydraulic oil clean is essential if you want a safe, troublefree voyage - and if you want your machinery to live longer.

Having designed marine oil filter systems for 45 years we should know...

Hydraulics

The lighter end of the range comprises offline fine filter units for the maintenance of hydraulic and lub oils as well as filter separators for marine diesel fuel.

Circle 224 on Reader Service Card

Circle 238 on Reader Service Card that parts are produced to the exact tolerances laid down by the engine designers. The facilities are equipped with some 100 state-of- the-art machine tools, over 80 per- cent of which are operated by com- puterized numerical control (CNC) or other advanced control systems.

In recent years, to meet the demand from a growing engine population, the factory has main- tained a two-shift or three-shift production schedule.

In addition to the output from

Copenhagen, where the new spare parts plant was opened at

Teglholmen in 1988, spares are also manufactured in Denmark at the Alpha Diesel division's factory in Frederikshavn and at genset specialist MAN B&W Holeby

Diesel. Besides the technical sup- port provided by service engineers from Denmark, the foreign organi- zational network includes 20 ser- vice centers, 55 authorized repair shops and 48 spare parts agents.

The Technical Service depart- ment undertakes updating and upgrading of two-stroke machin- ery, and prepares other projects such as the re-machining of tur- bochargers and modernization of reversing mechanisms.

Information pertaining to each contract carried out is fed into the company's EDP (electronic data processing) system, so as to ensure a complete history of each plant for future reference. — DT
