Wärtsilä Records High

Demand

Demand for Wärtsilä's ship power solutions for LNG carriers and offshore applications continued to be high during

May and June. In the offshore market, received orders from an undisclosed

Korean shipyard to supply 24 Wärtsilä 32 diesel generating sets to power four drill ships. The deliveries will take place from 2008 onwards. During May and

June, Wärtsilä received orders for 26

LNG carriers installations from three

Korean shipyards, predominantly fea- turing Wärtsilä 50DF dual-fuel engines.

These deliveries will take place during 2008-2010. The value of these new orders amounts to approx. $377.7m, of which approximately $163.6m has been recorded in May order book and $214m will be recorded in June order book.

Voith Turbo Strengthens

Coupling Service

Under the name Voith Coupling

Service, the specialist for drive technol- ogy is offering a new service concept for turbo couplings. The proper mainte- nance overhauling and repair of drive components are the focus of this con- cept. Voith Turbo has introduced this program in reaction to the general trend of reducing jobsite service personnel and increasing the responsibility of the original equipment manufacturer. Full customer care, competent consultation, and quick assistance if there are mal- functions are first priority for Voith

Coupling Service.

Anti-heeling Pump

Allweiler AG manufacturers its

ALLTRIMM anti-heeling propeller pump in seawater-resistant aluminum bronze (CC333G). This inline propeller pump has reversible hydraulics and a uniform pumping capacity. Three radial- shaft sealing rings contain an integrated leak sensor. The electric motor is con- structed with standard parts from a

German manufacturer and conveniently integrated into the pump lobe. As a result, the pump forgoes components required in conventional designs such as a valve controller, coupling, and gear- box. The pump is available in one and two-stage versions that deliver a flow rate up to 1300 cu. m./hour and delivery heads up to 10 m (single-stage) or 20 m (two-stage).

World's Largest Radial

Turbocharger Debuts

MAN B&W recently introduced what it calls the world's largest radial tur- bocharger for two stroke engines and thermo efficiency systems. The TCR series is designed to set new standards for radial-flow turbochargers: high power density, low weight and a com- pact design.

A total of six frame sizes cover four and two-stroke engines from 390 to 5,800 kW engine output per turbocharg- er. TCR22 is the largest frame size of the series.

Test runs on a 6S35MC engine rated 4,440 kW/173 rpm showed efficiency over the entire load range, helping to lower fuel consumption as well as the exhaust gas temperature, which in turn relieves thermal stress on other engine components.
