reducing the risk of equipment failures or damages,” says Dr Jörg Rebel from GL’s Strategic Research department. Te type approval certificate is the basis for a survey
arrangement for machinery components based on condition monitoring. A condition monitoring system uses various operation parameters or diagnostic results to gain information about the current condition of the monitored equipment. The GL requirements for the survey arrangement and the type approval process for the condition monitoring systems are available in the “Guidelines for Machinery Condition Monitoring”, Edition 2008.

Engines Scania ups the
power Scania has increased its power generation engine range that is now up-rated with improved step-load performance, increased swept volume and 25% longer service intervals offering customers better operating economy and performance. Te engines can be delivered to customers fitted with a
cooling package, making installation faster and easier. Te cooling packages are available in three sizes 1.1m2 or 1.5m2
, 1.3m2
depending on engine range and cooling needs. Mikael Lindner, sales director Power Generation
Engines said: “The new range of engines have been developed for the specific needs that power generation customers are looking for – high quality, high power– and high step-load capacity, low fuel consumption and good serviceability”. Te engine range consists of a 9-, 13- and 16-litre
Scania launches new engine range to meet stage IIIA emission regulations.
engine for prime power up to 550/607 kVA, 50/60Hz or for standby power up to 636/702 kVA, 50/60Hz. Te new power generation engine range meets the Stage IIIA emission legislations with Scania exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). Key characteristics of the new engine range are: Available
with tailor made ready-to-install cooling package, increased bore and stroke, increased swept volume, traditional easy-to- service Scania architecture with individual cylinder heads, waste-gate turbocharger, Scania EGR, no aſter treatment with additives needed, Scania engine management. Scania’s modular design means that fewer components
are needed to build a comprehensive range of engines. Tis facilitates servicing, parts supply and network training, as well as the setting up of new facilities. Carefully chosen materials and processes ensure high product quality, which also means that the consumption of energy and raw materials will be lower. Tis leads to lower environmental impact throughout the life cycle of the engine.
