PRELOADERS 231 MHI Develops Energy-Saving Marine Super Turbo Generating System Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) re- cently started marketing a power generating sys- tem for vessels "Mitsubishi Super Turbo Gener- ating System" designed to meet all power demands on board during navigation by effec- tively using exhaust gases and heat from a main diesel engine. Owing to the adoption of the high-perfor- mance "MET-SC" turbocharger which has the same efficiency as the conventional one while using less exhaust gas, it became possible to uti- lize the surplus exhaust gas to run the radial type gas turbine directly for power generation. Along with power generated by using the ex- haust gas economizer waste heat recovery sys- tem, the new system can produce more power. The new system can generate 40 to 60 per cent more power and can cut ships' fuel costs by 2 to 3 per cent when compared to the "Hot-Water Flash Power Generating Plant" which has been so far the most efficient waste heat recovery sys- tem at MHI. Thanks to its increased generating capacity, the Mitsubishi Super Turbo Generating System can supply all electricity demands on board for normal navigation without a diesel engine driv- en electric generator or an auxiliary boiler back- up even when the main engine is running at 55 to 60 per cent of maximum capacity. When sur- plus electricity is generated, the new system can use its shaft generator as an electric motor to return that surplus electricity to the main shaft as propulsive force. Moreover, the Mitsubishi Super Turbo Generating System requires no restricted space in the engine room, facilitating installation. MHI developed the D-MAP MARK II, an energy-saving power generating system that re- covers the engine's waste heat in steam form, in 1981 and the marine hot-water flash generating plant with 50 to 70 per cent higher generating capacity in 1983. The latest system is based on these generating systems which have been mounted on numerous vessels. The Mitsubishi Super Turbo Generat- ing System will be mounted on a 258,000-dead- weight-ton tanker to be built by MHI for Tokyo Tanker Co., Ltd. MHI expects the epochal new generating system to be used by various ships requiring energy saving.

Amerlock 400 has achieved a remarkable record of acceptance in virtually every industrial environment since its introduc- tion in 1983. According to the manufacturer, 75 percent of the companies who have tried it order it again. In sharp contrast to conventional coatings sys- tems which require rigorous surface preparation and multicoats for short-term protection, Amer- lock 400 can be applied to minimally prepared surfaces, including intact old paint and tightly adhering rust in one easy-to-apply coating. Amerlock 400 is a self-priming topcoat which provides extended-term protection and is avail- able in a broad spectrum of Rapid Response Colors. A simple tint of a premanufactured base provides as few or as many gallons as needed. According to Dr. Raymond Foscante, tech- nical director of the Ameron Protective Coatings Division, "Years of Ameron research and devel- opment have culminated in the Amerlock con- cept whereby the advantages of epoxy resin chemistry have been realized in a coating com- position which facilitates one-coat, high-build applications."

Designed for towing and anchor-handling ser- vice in deepwater oil exploration applications, each winch has a new weight (less diesel engine) of 110,700 pounds, and a line capacity of 2,880 feet of 2'/-inch wire rope per drum. This versatile TDSDS-36 winch has two rope drunks and one warping gypsy driven by a Detroit 8V-92 diesel engine through a torque converter. The unit also has hydraulic standby drive, automatic spooling, and an Eaton water- cooled retarder for control of anchor lowering.

Designed as companion product for the Bilge- master Oily/Water Separator, it is now available for use with other automatic separator systems. The multiple intake selector allows assign- ment of a priority to one compartment, such as the engine room, insuring that the priority com- partment is clear at all times, before pumping other compartments requiring attention.
