SEM Offers Ultrasonic Antifouling System SEM utilizes ultrasound for a number of different applications: Ultrasonic Antifouling systems send seawater-cooling ultrasonic waves over pipe surfaces to prevent the formation of mussels, barnacles and surpulids, a technology utiliz- ing clean energy. No parts have contact with salt water, and there is no generation of toxic or noxious substances. SEM's ultrasonic system for im- proving the combustion in diesel engines and boilers reportedly solves problems related to heavy fuel use by reducing unburned gases, reduc- ing fuel consumption without reduc- tion in power production, reducing blowings on boilers and gas exhaust donkey boilers and reducing con- sumption of distilled water. SEM's ultrasonic tanks for wash- ing engines parts can be used with air coolants, pistons, valves, turbo- blowers, oil filter Boll Kirch (25-40- 50 micron) and components of any sort made of any steel or alloy, ac- cording to the company. SEM says advantages include: reduced wash- ing time, no pitting, reduced operat- ing costs and reduced manpower.

X^^^X If your heading is set for totally green ships, considering zero-ozone depletion ^ 1 L I ^ potential refrigerants isn't rocking the boat. It's the sensible course of action. I That's why Carrier Transicold Marine Systems Group now offers a wide choice of chiller and condensing packages featuring advanced compressor designs and zero-ozone depletion potential (ODP) HFC Refrigerant-134a, standard. In addition, we offer a full line of systems with low-ODP HCFC Refrigerant-22, convertible to HFC R-134a. As part of our company-wide environmental initiative we call the Ozone Protection Plan, we will continue to test and qualify alternative refrigerants for marine air conditioning and refrigeration. Our goal: to offer proven zero-ODP refrigerants, standard, in every screw, centrifugal, and reciprocating system we make. If you're adrift about refrigerants, we can help you make the ideal choice. So you'll have smooth sailing ahead.
