GE To Supply Gas Turbines

For IHI

GE Marine Engines has received a contract from Ishikawajima-Harima

Heavy Industries (IHI) to supply two

LM2500 aeroderivative gas turbines.

The units will be used to power a single

HDD Murasame-class destroyer being constructed for the Japanese Maritime

Self-Defense Force (JMSDF).

This past year, GE garnered similar orders from IHI for eight LM2500 gas turbines to power 09DD and two 10DD

Murasame-class destroyers, scheduled for delivery in 2002 and 2003, respec- tively. The 11DD project brings the total number of LM2500s in the JMSDF fleet to 49 — including all engines on order — operational and spares.

The LM2500 gas turbine kits for the destroyers will be manufactured at GE's

Evendale, Ohio facility, while IHI will assemble and test the gas turbines and modules at its Kure No.2 plant. The destroyer will be commissioned in 2004.

Jabsco's new oil change system.

Significant in Ultra-Max is the Par-

Max pump that can self-prime at up to five ft., running dry without damage, while providing quiet, low-amp opera- tion. Matched with a Pumpguard strain- er with fine mesh stainless screen, the

Par-Max motor is thermally protective and fully-compliant with USCG electri- cal regulations. The company's Oil

Change System is designed for changing onboard oil in an easy and safe manner.

Consisting of a reversing impeller pump with a multi-valve manifold, the system can be installed in any vessel's engine compartment. Plumbed directly to the oil pan of each onboard engine and/or generator, the system is supplied with a five-way manifold equipped with three brass valves. Measuring 11 x 11.5 x 5.25-in., the product weighs nine lbs. and is available in both 12 and 24-volt

DC operation.
