The new IMO Division unit requires 460- volt, 60-Hz, 3-phase current. Pow- er consumption is only 2 kw. The entire blending unit stands 70 inches tall, occupies 40 by 30 inches of deck space and weighs 750 pounds.

Normally, the use of blended fuel presents logistics problems and commands a premium bunk- ering fee. With the new Delaval unit, however, any vessel may blend its own fuels onboard and suit the blend to continuously varying combustion conditions. The new fuel oil blending unit mixes streams of heavy fuel oil and marine diesel oil to produce a blend of desired viscosity. Sig- nals from a full flow viscometer are fed back through solid state circuitry to control the flow of diesel oil, giving a blend which varies between minimum and maximum viscosity limits set by engine room personnel. Within op- erating limits, it is not neces- sary to know the viscosity of the fuels being blended.
