Order For Shaft Generators
—Literature Available
A contract worth approximate-
ly $3.5 million for seven shaft
generator systems has been
awarded to the marine depart-
ment of ASEA Inc., White Plains,
N.Y., by Stolt-Nielsen, Inc., the
Greenwich, Conn.-based owner
and operator of one of the world's
largest chemical tanker fleets.
Due to be retrofitted in seven
Stolt-Nielsen ships, the ASEA
systems are expected to result in
a yearly saving for each vessel
of approximately $150,000. The
systems are equipped with static
converters and provide output
power of 1,200 kva at 460 v, 60
hz. The generators will be coupled
directly to the main engine and
are designed to operate between
70-100 percent of main engine
speed.
Included in the package is gen-
erator automation for load-shar-
ing and prevention of blackouts,
as well as for insuring smooth
and rapid changeovers from shaft
generator power to auxiliary die-
sel power, or vice versa. The first
system is scheduled for delivery
in July 1983.
