<BODY> <div> CATERPILLAR tor sets with engines ranging from four to 12 cylinders, suitable for power plant generators or marine propulsion. Some CKD motors are capable of using heavy fuels (bun- ker) or a mix of diesel fuel and gas. For more information on CKD, Circle 78 on Reader Service Card Lugger Diesels (67 to 1,300 hp) and Northern Lights generator sets (3.5 to 750 kW), made by Alaska Diesel Electric, can be used in the commercial, fishing and pleasure boat markets. Lugger has modified the existing L6170A engine to pro- vide 700 hp at 1,800 rpm on the continuous duty rating, increased 60 hp from the previous rating. New ratings have also been given to several of the Northern Lights gensets based on Deere blocks. The C-series (commercial) line of North- ern Lights sets has been popular with commercial operators. Alaska Diesel has developed Soot Trap And Regeneration System, a catalytic system to reduce generator set emissions. Three Lugger 12V140As, rated at 950 hp at 1,800 rpm, have recently been installed in a Mississippi River pushboat.

The Engine Division of Caterpil- lar Inc. provides diesel or gas en- gines for medium and heavy duty commercial and pleasure boats, on- high way trucks, stationary and mo- bile industrial applications, con- struction equipment, locomotives and power generation. Seven fami- lies of Cat engines range from 54 to 8,000 bhp (40 to 5,970 kW). Caterpillar's current marine pro- pulsion offerings range from 85 to 7,270 bhp (63 to 5,420 kW), and Caterpillar also offers marine aux- iliary packages from 50 to 5,200 ekW. The latest marine engine, the 3412C, is rated at 1,250 bhp (932 kW) at 2,300 rpm and includes a number of enhancements, among them electronic engine controls. A silver anniversary edition of the 3208 TA diesel is also available with ratings ranging from 210 to 435 bhp (157 to 325 kW). For more information on Caterpillar Inc., Circle 100 on Reader Service Card Cummins Marine is celebrating its 75th year of service to the marine industry. Cummins recently intro- duced a new continuous-duty rating of600 bhp (447 kW) at 1,800 rpm for its K19 engine. The KTA19-M3 en- gine, designed for use in pushboats, barges and fishing vessels, is built with an enhanced turbocharger and other performance features aimed at achieving lower operating costs. Cummins Marine is a division of Cummins Engine Co. Inc. and is responsible for designing, manufac- turing and providing after-sales sup- port worldwide for the company and its products in the marine engine marketplace. Cummins Marine of- fers a broad application range with available ratings from 64 to 1,385 bhp (47 to 1,033 kW). For more information on Cummins Marine, Circle 103 on Reader Service Card • DAYTON/' Daytona Marine builds perfor- mance engines solely for the marine industry. Daytona's engines are built on either Mack or Ford blocks. This enables Daytona to provide design features such as: four valves per cylinder; gear-driven accessories; carbide-faced lifters; spin-on cen- trifugal filters; and fuel economy. Daytona offers a full range of power options in four-cylinder in- line (Daytona's DME-4 Series), six- cylinder in-line (its DME-6 and DME- 7 Series), and V-8 configurations (its DME-9 Series) - turbocharged and inter-cooled diesels that deliver rat- ings ranging from 120 to 820 hp. For more information on Daytona Ma- rine, Circle 23 on Reader Service Card DEUTZ A CKD Hradec Kralove, a Czech Republic company, was created as part of Skoda Works. CKD devel- ops and produces medium- to heavy- speed diesel engines. A 140-mm bore four-stroke four-cylinder mo- tor is among the company's earlier units. Also available is the S6-350- PN for marine propulsion, genera- HDW says this slow-speed, two-stroke diesel, Mitsubishi 7UEC85 LSC engine plant installed on its Nc Fribourg open-top containership driving a fixed-pitch propeller is economical, reliable and easy to mai The engine has a nominal output of 27,290 kW (37,100 hp) with 102 min -1 rpm and a low specif! consumption of 165 gA Wh (121 h/hp). R Deutz claims the Hallo swirl concept adopted for the 616 series optimizes combustion at low load and idling, minimizing fuel con- sumption and exhaust emissions. For more information on Deutz MWM, Circle 82 on Reader Service Card U.K.-based Dorman Diesels Ltd. produces a low-emission marine engine range suitable for main and auxiliary duties, covering the power band of 42 bhp to 1,970 bhp (32 kWb to 1,470 kWb). The Sea Prince di- rect-injection range, launched in late 1993, is the latest addition to Dorman's line and is the result of its collaboration with DAF BV of The Netherlands. The SP6L, 6-cylin- der, in-line range, comprised ofTD3, TD5 and TD7 models, covers the power band 300 bhp to 368 bhp (224 bkW to 275 bkW) workboat rating. The Sea Prince range is designed to operate alongside Dorman's Sea King marine engine range (295 bhp to 1,970 bhp), which has six, eight, 12 and 16 cylinder models.

In April 1994, DMR inaugurated the first building phase of its new production site on the river Warnow in Rostock/Warnemunde. The site's most important feature is its new production/assembly/test bed shop, which will deliver completely as- sembled engines of all sizes (up to 50,000 kW) which have been tested for optimum installation in ships; reduce production costs by elabora- tion of process-optimized product centers; concentrate on in-house production of know-how compo- nents; and offer marine propulsion installations in-line which meet the highest quality standards. For more information on DMR, Circle 21 on Reader Service Card One year after the introduction of its new 616 diesel engine series (ex 234B), Deutz MWM already has or- ders for 200 engines. Deutz attributes the flow of orders to the success of the established 234 series and the 234Y yacht engines, which formed the basis for the new 616 series. The series covers a power range from 380 to 1,360 kW with eight, 12 and 16 cylinder V-engines. Dieselmotorenwerk Rostock GmbH (DMR) offers diesel engines, gear units, propulsion units, shaft- ings, sterntube glands and seals, The Electro-Motive Division (EMD) of General Motors Corpora- tion produces diesel power for ma- rine propulsion, offshore and other industries. A complete line of GM/ EMD engines is available for ma- rine propulsion and marine genera- tor set applications. A complete power package with engine, reverse- reduction gear or generator and ac- cessories is available from EMD dis- tributors worldwide. The propul- sion units are also available without skid mounting for direct application to the vessel structure. For marine propulsion, EMD offers eight-, 12- and 16-cylinder Roots-Blown 645E6 Series engines and eight-, 12-, 16- (Continued on page 42) 40 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News </div> <span id="lblContents"></span> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.digitalwavepublishing.com/" title="Digital Magazine">Digital Wave Publishing</a> </BODY>
