Consolidated Fluid Power Specializes In Hydraulic System Flushing Consolidated Fluid Power Lim- ited specializes in hydraulic system flushing, and has found through its years of experience that the general industry does not understand nor appreciate the impact that system cleanliness has on the performance and life of a hydraulic system. The Consolidated Fluid Power method of flushing reportedly takes a fraction of the time usually re- quired by conventional hydraulic system flushing methods, and is being used currently on the hydrau- lic systems of the Canadian Patrol Frigates under construction at Saint John Shipbuilding Ltd.

Halton has developed a new type of marine fire damper to improve the fire safety of ships. It can be used in the ductwork of the galley and other spaces to prevent the fire spreading through the ventilation ducts. The fire damper has passed the official fire test of the State Tech- nical Research Center fire laborato- ries. The fire damper has Detnorske Veritas, Lloyds and Bureau Veritas certificates of approval (the DOT certificate is pending). Special at- tention has been paid to the air- tightness of the FDB since, in the event of fire, smoke fumes escaping through the ventilation ducts are dangerous. With a new type of seal (patent pending), the leakage of smoke fumes is curtailed.

For example, with the new 8.0 version, in addition to the interactive creation of components, it is now possible to create them in batch via a text file using a design language. The design language can be created manually by a user or by a customer-written program. For example, the results of an analysis program could be used to create spe- cialized components such as flexible mounts for equipment. The effi- ciency of pipe modeling has been improved, and the use of pipe speci- fications has been extended so that it's possible to use the specification for component selection in the pipe modeling phase as well as the dia- gram design phase. Improvements incorporated into the Autokon Sys- tem version 23.00 include a general improvement in enhanced database system for the structural part. Now the database system is, on average, 20 percent faster than before. Other improvements include: a new func- tionality in AUTODEF, to enable the user to define standard brackets without making a surface for the part first and cutouts are now gen- erated in stiffeners by other pen- etrating stiffeners and plate seams.
