PROPULSION UPDATE PA Series Heavy Fuel Diesel Now Available From Fairbanks Morse —Literature Available tion from a single U.S. engr'ne build- er with a horsepower range from 600 to 29,200. For complete free literature and detailed information on the PA Se- ries of engines offered by Fairbanks Morse Engine, The PA Series of "V" and in-line diesel engines now being offered by Fairbanks Morse lend themselves to a wide range of marine propulsion and other power requirments. The engines, ranging in size from six to 20 cylinders, have a horsepower range from 1,000 to 10,000 horse- power and can burn available resid- ual fuels for maximum operating economy. The PA engine series, a develop- ment of Alsthom and S.E.M.T. Piel- stick has achieved worldwide ac- ceptance for marine requirements since their introduction in 1950. Over 6,000 units are presently in service. Throughout their operating history they have achieved an envi- able record for low fuel consump- tion over their entire power range and have a record of long service life between major overhauls. In support of the PA Series, Fairbanks Morse offers complete engine operation and maintenance training in its customer training school in Beloit, Wis. In addition, spare parts and complete engine service is also available throughout all Fairbanks Morse Service and Parts Centers. With the addition of the PA Se- ries of engines, Fairbanks Morse now offers one of the widest ranges of diesel engines for marine applica- Circle 91 on Reader Service Card Six-Page Color Brochure On Energol Lubricants Offered Free By BP Marine BP Marine International, a major supplier of lubricants to meet ship- board needs of the merchant fleets of the world, has published a free six-page pull-out brochure on prod- ucts offered by the company. Titled "Energol Marine Lubri- cants," the publication gives the grade name, application, typical data, and description for the princi- pal grades of these lubrication oils. Included are cylinder and systems oils: low-speed crosshead engines and trunk piston engines; multipur- pose engine oils; turbine oils; gear oils; general purpose circulatory oils; hydraulic oils—high viscosity index, and very high viscosity index; refrigerator compressor oils; steam engine oils; stern tube oil; and LPG gas compressor lubricant. Also listed are BP Energol spe- cialty products such as wire ropes, corrosion preventives, and cutting oil, as well as BP Energrease marine greases along with description, grade name and application, classi- fication, etc. For a copy of the brochure and further information about the prod- ucts or service offered by BP Marine International, Circle 31 on Reader Service Card EQUIPMENT RESALES JMJ MARINE INVESTORS, the nation's leading independent financial services broker serving the maritime industry, is now offering its services in resale of vessels for owners and financial institutions.

The new four-blade propeller has a maximum diameter of 7,400 milli- meters (24.27 feet) and an expanded area ratio of .527. Cast from Lips "Cunial" alloy (ABS Grade IV/nick- el aluminum bronze) material and manufactured to ISO Class 1 stan- dards, the finished propeller weighed approximately 62,800 pounds. Speed-adapted propellers become a viable consideration when vessels are continually operated at lower ship speeds than they were original- ly designed for. It pays to exchange the propeller for a speed adapted one, designed for a new operating point. In this point the number of revolutions is lower than in the ori- ginal one. Optimization of the pro- peller diameter now leads to a larger propeller. As a consequence of the resulting larger diameter, thrust loading coefficient is reduced, axial and rotational losses are reduced and the open water efficiency is increased. Note that the propulsive efficiency is not improved as much as the open water efficiency due to hull propeller interaction. Due to the reduced propeller load, cavita- tional properties will be better and an additional increase in efficiency can be obtained by reduction of blade area ratio.
