Landing Platform Dock
Upgrade on the Speed- and Loadsharing controls
REGULATEURS EUROPA did a midlife upgrade on the Speed- and Loadsharing controls on board a Landing Platform Dock of the Dutch Navy. The new XIOS controls have been installed in the existing cabinets to replace the obsolete Viking V25 governors.
Excellent speed control and load sharing is performed by the XIOS digital electronic governors. The load sharing is according the master-slave principle in which 1 engine is speed controller, the master. The slave governors share their individual load on the communication bus and are used as positioners by the master governor.
Offshore Supply Ship
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 though 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".
