Chromium Corporation has announced the release of its LPM (Low Particulate Matter) cylinder liner that is fully in compliance with EPA 40 CFR 1033 (locomotive) and 1042 (marine) regulations. Through its advanced surface finishing technology, Chromium Corporation once again presents a product that meets today’s emission requirements. The LPM® cylinder liner is certified under EPA Non-Original Equipment Manufacturer Locomotive Component Certificate Of Conformity. This Tier 0+, 1+, 2 compliance solution can be used in all 645 and 710 engines families.

Emergency Shutdown System Gives Peace of Mind

ESRS Engine Shutdown System from Sea-Fire

In the event of an engine room fire, once the fire suppression system is engaged it's critical that engines, generators and fans are shut down quickly. This both minimizes damage to equipment and helps contain the extinguishing agent within the compartment it's protecting. The ESRS Engine Shutdown System from Sea-Fire automates this procedure using microprocessor technology, in a simple plug and play design. ABYC requires automatic equipment shutdown if there is more than one air change per minute within the engine compartment.

Yanmar Accelerated Endurance Testing

Recognized nationwide for his fishing expertise, Capt. Dave Mistretta has spent more than 30 years as a big game saltwater guide in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida. His Dorado 40, Jaws Too, employs a 530 hp Yanmar 6CX-530 engine supplied by Mastry Engine Center. As one of the first to try out one of these engines, Mistretta easily logged over 2,200 hours of operation in just two years. When most boaters put an average of 100-200 hours a year on their engine, it can be hard to gather enough data to quickly determine its level of reliability.

EPA Adopts Emission Standards for New Diesel Engines

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is adopting emission standards for new marine diesel engines that will be installed on vessels flagged or registered in the United States. The near-term, Tier 1 standards in this rule are equivalent to the internationally negotiated emission limits for oxides of nitrogen (NOx). These standards will go into effect in 2004 and are based on readily available emission-control technology. We will also undertake another rulemaking in a few years to consider a second tier of more stringent standards. The Tier 1 standards apply to marine diesel engines manufactured January 1, 2004 or later if they will be installed on vessels flagged or registered in the United States1.

News: New Marine Diesel Regs Adopted by EPA

Last month the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it is adopting emission standards for new marine diesel engines that will be installed on vessels flagged or registered in the U.S. The near-term, Tier 1 standards in this rule are equivalent to the internationally negotiated emission limits for oxides of nitrogen (NOx). These standards will go into effect in 2004 and are based on readily available emission-control technology. EPA also said that it would undertake another rulemaking in a few years to consider a second tier of more stringent standards.
