Seagoing Vessel Governor Replacement
The seagoing vessel ARM22 Klaas Adriana is driven by a Caterpillar 3606 DI-TA engine. This engine is controlled by the 1100 series hydraulic governor from Regulateurs Europa. The governor replaces the previously installed Woodward 3161 governor, which gave rise to increased maintenance costs and dysfunctions.
The HEINZMANN stepper motor drive board differs from our competitor's equipment in that allows analogue or digital speed setting.
System Upgrades for Catamaran Fast Ferries
Three Incat-built catamaran fast ferries operating in Japan, Taiwan and Denmark have been successfully upgraded to use the latest Viking35 and MVC products from Regulateurs Europa for control of their four 20V28/33D (RK280) main propulsion engines.
As the upgrade minimised changes to the physical system and its functionality, the crew could continue to operate and maintain the system with very little additional training. Additionally, most spare parts already held by the operators could continue to be used.
Replacement with Viking35
Matthew Hirst, Engineering Superintendent of the Boston Putford Offshore Safety Ltd states:
"The Putford Achiever was fitted with Viking22 Governor systems controlling the Port and Stb'd Main Engines Wartsila 6L26A. We were informed through HEINZMANN Regulateurs Europa that these Viking22 where to shortly become obsolete and that the replacement for these units was the Viking35.
After the initial set up the vessel was able to take a pilot and navigate out of dock and proceed down the river Humber with perfectly good control of the Main Engines. We are delighted that the system has operated correctly since".
