SNAME ANNUAL

SNAME Meeting Scheduled For Baltimore

Held annually, the Society of Naval

Architects and Marine Engineers' (SNAME) International Maritime Expo- sition is a premiere event for profession- al networking, and also provides atten- dees with a chance to see the latest tech-

Naval ships, fleet oilers, commercial container- ships, tankers and dredges are successfully finding new ways to operate more efficiently at lower cost, by utilizing Tranter's unsurpassed plate-type heat exchanger technology. Schematics presented here illustrate typical ways they are doing it.

Superchanger® plate and frame heat exchangers are used in a wide variety of shipboard applica- tions—particularly for cooling main engine jacket water and cooling main engine lube oil with fresh water or seawater; cooling the ships central fresh water; cooling electronic equipment; or recovering heat from condensate. They are far more efficient than tubular systems, and provide heat transfer coefficients from two to five times greater than those achieved by shell and tube units. They also require 10% to 50% less deck space and weigh up to one-sixth less. nical advances in the maritime industry.

This year's annual meeting will be held at the Baltimore Convention Cen- ter, in Baltimore, from Wednesday, Sep- tember 29 through Saturday, October 2.

The exposition portion, featuring more

Superchanger units can be equipped with tita- nium plates which offer the best resistance to corrosion and erosion when exposed to seawater.

Intermixing or cross-contamination of hot and cold liquids is virtually impossible. Low fouling rates reduce cleaning requirements for

Superchanger units, that are designed for easy maintenance. They can be cleaned-in-place by back flushing, or quickly disassembled by hand, cleaned and put back in operation.

Platecoil® prime surface heat exchangers offer optimum temperature control. A Platecoil bank- in-tank unit provides wide interspaces for effec- tively passing solids while efficiently heating seawater containing oil from spills.

Platecoil bayonet heaters provide a large amount of efficient primary heating surface in a single unit for maintaining desired temperatures in than 150 exhibitors, will be open to attendees on Thursday, September 30 and Friday, October 1, only.

The exposition, held in Hall F of the

Convention Center will be open Thurs- day, September 30, from 7:30 a.m.- 12:45 p.m., and again from 2:15 p.m.- 5:00 p.m. Friday's hours will be 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. storage tanks. These heaters help promote con- vection currents for better heat transfer rates and tank temperature uniformity. Platecoil suction heaters provide immediate heating for pumping oil out of tanks.

Tranter plate-type heat exchangers can be sup- plied in full compliance with codes and specifi- cations as required by the ABS: the U.S. Coast

Guard; shock testing per MIL-S-901C; vibration testing per MIL-STD-167-1; and ASME U stamp per Sec. VIII Div. 1.
