April, 1993 Circle 272 on Reader Service Card Westinghouse Teams With Sulzer Escher Wyss On CP Propeller Effort The Westinghouse Marine Divi- sion, in Sunnyvale, Calif., and Sulzer Escher Wyss, based in Ravensburg, Germany, have reached an agree- ment for Westinghouse to market and manufacture large, high-horse- power controllable pitch (CP) pro- pellers in the U.S. The agreement also includes Jorgensen Forge, of Seattle, Wash., an active Sulzer Escher Wyss licensee. Westinghouse intends to manufacture these pro- pellers for the U.S. Navy's Strategic Sealift program, as well as other Navy ships, Westinghouse officials announced. Westinghouse/Escher Wyss CP propellers will be capable of propelling ships up to 50,000 hp per propeller shaft. Escher Wyss CP propellers are U.S. Navy-quali- fied up to this horsepower level. Approximately 25 percent of the world's fleet and virtually all major naval vessels are driven by CP pro- pellers. Controllable pitch propel- lers are also widely used for moving One of the Escher Wyss CP propeller models which will be manufactured by Westinghouse's Marine Division under a new joint agreement. RoRo's, containerships, ferries and fishing vessels. The propellers are capable of responding to varying operating conditions by altering the blade pitch hydraulically, and accu- rately maintaining the pitch set, USCG APPROVED the Humphrey SEWAGE TREATMENT CERTIFIED PROTECTION FOR THE FUTURE TYPE II, MARINE SANITATION DEVICES U.S.C.G.

It is broken down and dissolved by natural bacterial action during this stage. The resulting liquid (effluent) is then pumped through the Filter and passes through the chlorinator, where the final stage of purification and deodorization takes place. Upkeep simply requires an addition of the Humphrey Activator flushed through the head periodically, a spot check on the chlorine pellets and filter. Thats it, No Muss, No Fuss!

A CP propeller allows for the most efficient engine operation at both full and partial loads. This agreement provides a source for American-made CP propellers and positions Westinghouse as a U.S. source for complete marine diesel propulsion systems, including Westinghouse/Sulzer diesel engines, reduction gears, line shafting and CP propellers. Westinghouse has a long-standing reputation as a world- class designer and manufacturer of complete ship propulsion systems. Jorgensen Forge is also included in the agreement as a source of forg- ing and machining of shafts, shaftline components and other equipment, as well as support for CP propellers. Westinghouse is also pursuing low- and medium-speed diesel marine propulsion engine op- portunities in the sealift program and for U.S. commercial ships, un- der a separate agreement with New Sulzer Diesel of Switzerland.

Ametek Denmark can now offer their water in oil monitor with approvals from Norske Veritas, Bureau Veritas or Lloyd's. The water monitor is developed to survey lube oil systems and hy- draulic oil systems for engines, tur- bines, gears, etc. It measures on line the water content in the oil up to 10 times per hour. The system has two alarm limits which can be used for alarm without any interference on the operation or/and an alarm with a shutdown function. This enables the engineer to keep track of any water intruding into the system on a much more frequent basis than the weekly manual test, thus preventing a sys- tem breakdown and the associated repair expenses.
