Coppus Turbine-Fan packages custom-engineered for shipboard ventilation £ The Coppus turbine-fan package has been specifically created for shipboard applications. It is used exten- sively in inert gas and Golar-Vent systems, as well as forced draft and other ventilation applications requiring the many advantages offered by steam turbine drive. Designed with the fan wheel mounted directly on the turbine shaft, the need for only two main bearings in- stead of four or more eliminates misalignment prob- lems, and ensures minimum maintenance and high reliability. The unit is not limited to standard motor speeds; it can be operated at the most efficient speed. Variable speed control either manually or pneumatically is simple and effective. Since you can't overload the turbine, there is no concern about burned-out motors. Highly efficient and compact, this package offers maximum safety in hazardous environments. It can be installed directly in the pump room or on deck and is suitable for steam pressures up to 600 psig. The unit can deliver 50,000 cfm and static pressures up to 120 inches wg. Available in systems designed by Coppus to inert gas or Golar-Vent or the two can be combined into one space and money-saving system. Coppus has a complete marine line that includes tur- bines, pump room ventilators, portable gas-freeing ven- tilators, shipyard exhausters and stevedoring ventilators.
