New dripless shaft seal from VETUS
VETUS has expanded its range of stern gear equipment with the introduction of a triple- lip ZWBH dripless shaft seal. The latest model includes a self-aligning inner bearing and the addition of one extra lip seal to keep water out.
The product has been developed for use with water-lubricated stern gear and to be oil and grease resistant. It is flexible to absorb shock and vibration and features an updated monoblock design. The unit has a 10mm vulcanised hose pillar for water injection and is supplied with two stainless steel hose clamps and grease.
“This rugged, highly-durable stern gear seal is able to withstand a wide range of temperatures and will give the maximum performance while requiring minimal maintenance,” said Babette van Waes.
Technology group Wärtsilä has introduced its first high- speed engine
Developed in collaboration with Liebherr, the Wärtsilä 14 is a high-speed, compact engine designed to fit requirements for limited space and weight, lower capital expense and to meet current and future global emissions targets.
“We are very proud of this small but mighty high-speed engine,” said Stefan Wiik, vice president, marine power solutions, Wärtsilä, “because it heralds entry into a new, strategically important market for our brand, it reinforces our global position as leader of fully integrated technologies and hybrid solutions and bears testimony to the tangible benefits of our close cooperation with Liebherr”.
Using Wärtsilä’s Smart Marine concept the new engine serves as both main propulsion and auxiliary genset and is suitable for hybrid installations. It is available in 12 and 16-cylinder configurations, delivering a power output of 755- 1340 KW in mechanical propulsion, and 675- 1155 KWe in auxiliary and diesel-electric configurations.
