Choose the best in brazing.
Brazing made easy with

vacuum furnaces by Ipsen
Vacuum brazing is efficient, cost-effective and
environmentally friendly. Working in a vacuum allows
brazing without aggressive, environmentally damaging
fluxing agents. With vacuum-brazed components, the
need for complex reworking or finishing is prevented.
Eliminating flux inclusions also improves the base
material’s mechanical stability and corrosion resistance,
thereby improving its joint strength, as well as the
durability of the treated components. • Excellent temperature
uniformity up to ±5º F (±3º C)
The advantages of high temperature brazing in
high-vacuum make it the ideal process for producing • Superior pumping
joints that must be able to withstand intense thermal performance
conditions and heavy mechanical loads. The use of • Optimized cooling
vacuum-brazed components has become well-established system design
in safety-critical aerospace technologies. A wide variety of
products boast incredible performance characteristics • Versatile and adaptable to
because of vacuum processing. Jet engine components application requirements
and control systems, turbine blades, heat exchangers and • Capable of meeting Nadcap
heating coils, honeycombs and fasteners, medical implants and AMS 2750E applicable
and instruments are just a few key components among requirements
the extensive list of products which reap the benefits of
vacuum brazing.

veloping products designed to insulate customers from ris-

ing fuel prices.
Other advances include an inverse impeller design in
which the designer specifies the desired flow conditions
and computer software develops the blade shape using
an optimized process. Aluminum or titanium wheels are
available for fatigue resistance for operating/ambient con-
ditions needing high compressor-discharge temperatures,
the company said.
Vaned and vaneless compressor stages, which enable
the tailoring of performance for different applications and
allow optimization of efficiency for either single- or two-
stage operation, are available.
Cummins said the risk of oil leaks is reduced because
of improved sealing, and a modular design provides
common engine connection points for all performance
variants within the Series 900 frame size. Both hose bead
and bolted flange compressor housing outlet designs are
being developed to meet different customer needs, the
company said.
V-band connections allow a high degree of housing ori-
entation flexibility and ease of service in the field. There is
also a water-cooled bearing housing, which provides a lon-
ger life for the bearing system, and an integral speed sensor
providing extra engine protection and diagnostic control
schemes, Cummins said.

ZF Marine said it has already regis-

chosen and installed in some vessels
by the Italian coast guard. “We also
have some contracts for yacht appli-

“The advantages of hybrid-ready
transmissions are that the vessel can
be operated in electric mode at low
speed, which has obvious benefits
in fuel efficiency and exhaust emis-

engine kicking in only for full pow-

maintenance for the diesel unit.”
The ZF 5300 PTI model is used
with engines with power output up
to 1700 kW and a maximum of 2600

to 5.5:1 and is available with an array

the need for our medium-speed, natural gas reciprocating

internal combustion engines.”
Nelson said that internal combustion engines could peak
well while maintaining high efficiencies when power is
needed to supplement unpredictable renewable power such
as wind. While both gas turbines and reciprocating engines
can create power by burning natural gas, reciprocating en-
gines operate more efficiently at any load, Nelson said.
“We favor recip engines because of their flexible nature.
Turbines have an efficiency curve that tends to be relatively
low when the unit is at low load, and then that curve climbs
fairly steeply. Reciprocating engines have an efficiency
curve that’s shaped very much like the torque curve on a
diesel engine, so it has a steep line that climbs very quickly
from essentially no load up to its maximum efficiency, and
it stays very flat over its entire load range,” Nelson said.
“An advantage of a recip engine configuration is that
the power is produced by multiple engines. Instead of
one 100 MW gas turbine, we’re getting up to 110 MW
with 12 units. We operate only the engines we need, and
those that are on can be operated at low loads without
compromising efficiency.”

Powell added that reciprocating engines don’t de-rate
like turbines do at high temperatures and elevations. Re-
