- USN Orders Hoffer Flow Measurement Systems Maritime Reporter, May 2014 #57
Hoffer Flow Controls received a contract from the U. S. Navy Sea Systems Command to supply fuel flow measurement systems as a part of the U.S. Navy’s Energy Dashboard Program. Hoffer fuel measurement systems are currently incorporated into the “Energy Dashboard Proof-of-Concept System” aboard several of the US Navy DDG51 class ships. The new contract will expand the number of ships equipped. The “Energy Dashboard” uses an integrated condition assessment system, which ties into other shipboard computer software systems making sailors aware of how certain engineering plants line-up and the overall effects on fuel consumption rates. Sailors will now have access to instantaneous net fuel consumption rates.
