Up to 10 times longer running times with the new anti-sticking pump elements from L’Orange
Deposits in the barrel can significantly impede the pump’s operation. Common measures such as the regular cleaning of the pump element are very time-consuming and far from ideal over the long run. L’Orange has developed a new pump element with a special coating and a scraper ring that they claim can largely reduce the formation of lacquering and therefore increases the running times of pumps by four to ten times.
With the new anti-sticking pump elements, it is possible to significantly reduce the formation of lacquering and therefore sustainably lower the risk of plunger sticking. For this purpose, L’Orange optimized the pump elements in terms of geometry, surface coating and scraper ring. Lubricating oil and fuel are separated which eliminates the main cause of the formation of lacquering. The scraper ring serves as protection if lacquering occurs in spite of the separation between lubrication oil and fuel. It effectively scrapes the lacquering off the barrel therefore
preventing any increase in the lacquering layer in the barrel. The new special coating and the microgrooves do not allow the lacquering to even develop on the plunger. The innovative total solution extends the running time by four to ten times compared to standard products they say.
Alfa Laval introduces BWMS with 20% smaller footprint
Alfa Laval has introduced PureBallast 3.1 Compact Flex. Available for flows of 32–1,000 cu.m/h, it packs the leading ballast water treatment technology into a footprint up to 20% smaller than that of PureBallast 3.1 – the smallest on the market. It also reduces installation costs by up to 10%, thanks to a plug-and-play concept for quick and easy connection.
“Alfa Laval PureBallast 3.1 Compact Flex is economical, both in its use of space and in its installation,” says Anders Lindmark, Head of Alfa Laval PureBallast. “As a result, it removes headaches for both ship owners and shipyards. It’s an ideal choice for the vast majority of vessels, combining the smallest possible footprint with superior performance in the widest range of conditions.”
