Perkins Sabre Launches Two

New Engines

The latest additions to the Perkins

Sabre Engines line were introduced this autumn. The naturally aspirated Perkins

Sabre M92 and the turbocharged

Perkins Sabre M115T have already established themselves as the fastest selling Perkins Sabre Engines of all time. This is due largely to the fact that both are direct and easily fitted replace- ments for the Perkins Sabre M90/4.236, a highly successful marine diesel engine.

The M92 is a four-cylinder, 4.2 liter. 92-hp engine, while the Ml 15T is a 4.0 liter engine that develops 115 hp at 2,400 rpm. When compared to the engine that they are replacing, the engines offer greatly improved all-round performance and lower emissions.

Targeting both the pleasure and com- mercial markets, the new engines offer a

Compared with the M90, the M92, for example, is said to offer a nine percent increase in power output while deliver- ing a 6.8 percent reduction in specific fuel consumption at the rated speed, while the lubricating oil capacity has been reduced by nearly 23 percent.

Annual servicing costs look set to fall by more than 50 percent, and greater fuel efficiency, based on typical duty cycle figures over three years, will slash $2,600 off the fuel bill.

The engines meet all existing and planned EU and IMO/EPA emissions legislation.

Renold Develops

High Temp Coupling

HTB is a new range of power transmission cou- plings from

Renold Hi-Tec

Couplings with the ability to work in heat up to 200 degrees C. The product has reportedly proven to be a hit, even before it offi- cially comes onto the market, as the company reports that several prototypes have been ordered, with models already at work on generating sets in the U.K. and on a pusher tug in the U.S.

Volvo Penta Offers New 10L Diesel Engine 0 0

The new Volvo Penta TAMD 103 is a 10-liter commercial diesel engine designed for increased power, lower emissions and lower fuel consumption courtesy of redesigned combustion chambers, cylinder heads and fuel injec-

The assembled units retain the same strength and structural properties as that of a traditional hull construction. The time spent in port to engage/disengage the two seperate units takes less than 2 hours.

The cargo unit may serve as a floating storage facil- ity, independently of the propulsion unit which is free to operate elsewhere.

While at sea, the two units operate as one ship. 20 Circle 235 on Reader Service Card
