Providing 29.3 cu. ft. of portable AC/DC refrigeration and an integrated battery that provides up to eight hours of operation without a power supply, the CF850 offers an in- novative solution for the transportation and storage of a wide range of temper- ature-sensitive products including food and medical supplies.

The CF850 refrigerator features an energy-efficient air circulation system that ensures optimal temperature distri- bution within, as well as digital con- trols that enable users to set temperatures between 32 o

F and 53 o

F.

The unit can be easily installed any- where, including into the vessel's gal- ley space, without the use of tools, while the included belt set ensures quick and secure anchoring. The

CF850 refrigerator is housed within a robust casing, providing exceptional durability and protection of its contents in the maritime environment. www.dometic.com

YoYo Winch

Patterson offers the patented YoYo winch, designed and field-tested to alleviate common problems: No more springcoil; No more foul- ing; and no more problems created by uncon- trolled spooling of wire rope on the drum.

Developers of Patterson’s YoYo winch insist that it is safer, as the contained spring coil vir- tually eliminates injuries due to rope mem- ory; it eliminates ‘bird nesting’ or ‘fouling’ or wire rope on the winch drum; and full gear shroud protects wire rope, gearing and oper- ators. In addition, the maker claims that intu- itive one-man operation of the system, a patented double-dog design for easy maxi- mum line tensioning, and a fully open design makes the winch safer, easier and faster to op- erate.

ClassNK: Standards for

Application of Corrosion

Resistant Steels

ClassNK developed and released what is says is the world’s first set of standards for the application of corro- sion resistant steels to the cargo oil tanks of oil tankers.

The new Guidelines on Corrosion

Resistant Steel for COT are the first guidelines to lay out clear requirements for the application of the new steels, whose use was approved by the IMO’s

Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) earlier this year. The new guidelines are available on the ClassNK webpage at the following address: www.classnk.or.jp "Intelligent" Combustion

Monitoring for 2-Strokes

Wärtsilä introduced its Intelligent

Combustion Monitoring system for two-stroke diesel engines. By operat- ing at optimal firing pressures, fuel cost savings of up to two percent compared to deteriorated parameters can be achieved. The Wärtsilä Intelligent

Combustion Monitoring system pro- vides a means for measuring the pres- sures in each cylinder during the entire combustion process, continuously, in parallel, and under all load conditions.

By monitoring the exact position of the crankshaft, and in combination with advanced mathematical modelling of the engine, it provides highly accurate, real-time data for diagnostic analysis. www.wartsila.com
