Equipment, Valves & Accessories.

Marine Boilers

Boilers are essential equipment on board ships. They provide heating for the main diesel propulsion engine and the bunker F.O. tanks (making the fuel less viscous for transfer and easier to ignite). The steam generated by the boiler can also be used for cleaning and for heating seawater in the freshwater generator, evaporating it to produce potable water. Two types of boiler are mainly used in the marine industry: water-tube boilers and fire-tube boilers. The water-tube type is the more common. In a water-tube boiler, water passes through lines of tubes where it is heated by a burner and furnace.

Air Compressor

A marine air compressor provides compressed air for various purposes on a ship. It is one of the most important pieces of equipment on a ship and needs special care and routine maintenance.

Marine Boilers

Electrical Equipment

Marine electrical equipment is designed and classed for use on board ships and yachts, where even small drops of salt water can destroy ordinary electronic devices. Most of these devices are therefore water-resistant or waterproof. Examples include:

• Navigation light
• Remote Control Searchlight
• Lighting Fixtures
• Explosion Proof light
• Flood light/searchlight

Marine Valve

Many types of valves are used in the marine sector, including:

Swing Check Valve
A swing valve is a butterfly-style check valve in which the disc, the movable part to block the flow, swings on a hinge or trunnion, either onto the seat to block reverse flow or off the seat to allow forward flow.

Safety Relief Valve
The primary function of Safety Relief Valves is the protection of life, property and environment. A Safety Relief Valve is a device designed to protect a pressurized vessel or system against over-pressure should all other safety systems fail.

Butterfly Valve
The butterfly valve is used to regulate and throttle flow. It operates quickly with a low pressure drop, and needs only a quarter turn to go from closed to open.

SDNR Valve
Screw down non-return globe valves also known as SDNR globe valves are used to prevent reverse flow when in the open position and for providing a leak-tight shut off with the capability of being used partially open to regulate flow.

Fire Fighting Appliances

Firefighting Equipment
Firefighting equipment is equipment designed to extinguish fires or protect the user from fire. It may be used by trained fire fighters or untrained users at the scene of a fire, or built into a building’s infrastructure (such as a sprinkler system). It includes:

• Air Breathing Apparatus
• Emergency Escape Breathing Device
• Fire Extinguisher Accessories
• Fire Fighter outfit & Safety Device
• Fire Hose Coupling
• Fire Hydrant
• Hose
• Other Fire-Fighting Equipment

Life Saving Appliances
Life-saving appliances are the specialized equipment and accessories a ship carries for rescue when in danger. Commonly used life-saving equipment includes:

• Life Boat
• Life Raft
• Life Buoy
• Life Jackets
• Life-Saving Immersion suit
