Ship owners Ernst Jacob are one of the latest customers to place an order on RE for governor retrofits in ships of their fleet. In this case the Woodward 3161 governors, on their Wartsila 6L20 auxiliary engines are being replaced with the well proven RE1102L-4G units.
The Regulateurs Europa 1102 range, with its work output capability of up to 40 ft.lbf.is known, in the market, for its fast response to load changes, its stability at both idle and rated speeds and its robust construction. This governor has speed setting via a permanent magnet motor, a start fuel limiter to prevent excessive smoke on start up and
The provision of a base adaptor, a compatible drive shaft and an output lever, as part of the package, means that the 1102 retrofit can take place without any significant mechanical or electrical changes on the engine; a factor that has influenced the customer to roll out this, first change on their “MT Andre Jacob,” to four other vessels in their fleet.
Governor business in the Far East is important to Regulateurs Europa. Sales of the high performing and reliable 1100 series governors have been paramount in this market. However there is lot that RE can offer in the way of governing products, control systems and integrated control solutions.
To help spread the message; RE has been present, with their parent company, Heinzmann, at trade exhibitions in China and Korea. To help with a permanent presence RE is pleased to welcome Joseph Hong (pictured) to strengthen the team at Heinzmann RE Korea heinzmannrekorea@gmail.com

The SMM exhibition in Hamburg was even larger than before. RE was proud to have the opportunity to showcase its products on the Heinzmann Group stand. Newly on show this year was the RE 2800 series compact hydraulic actuator, and an example of a single engine control panel featuring the new Viking35 digital governor / engine management system.
The 2800 actuator not only adds to the range but it offers an attractive retrofit or replacement for other manufacturers popular governors and actuators.
Our General Manager, Kevin Murray, (seen below with Marc Heller of Heinzmann) was present during the week and he was impressed by the level of customer interest that was generated by the stand.
If you were unable to visit the exhibition, RE would be pleased to talk to you about new developments and existing products, to meet your specific needs.
Representatives from Regulateurs Europa were pleased to participate in the 2008 Heinzmann Group International Sales Conference, held in Freiberg Germany. This is the second major conference since RE joined the group. The get together of all the manufacturing units and the worldwide family of representatives and agents provides a valuable forum to discuss market conditions and to introduce newly developed products.
2008 will be an important year for Regulateurs Europa as it releases its new Viking 35 digital governing and power management unit and adds the compact 2800 actuator to the existing 2200 range.
Being part of the Heinzmann Group enables RE to offer customers an extended range of control solutions for diesel and turbine applications.
