“Customer Day” Event
The Engine & Machinery
Division and Wartsila of
Switzerland co-hosted a
“Customer Day” event to
exhibit their new series of
electronically-controlled
Sulzer RT-flex low-speed
marine diesel engines.
The exhibition attracted
an audience of representatives
from classification societies
and shipyards, as well
as 150 related parties at HHI
to view the new model.Organizers also demonstrated the official shop test of the 22,470bhp electronically-controlled engine (Model: Hyundai-Sulzer 7RT-flex 60C), which will be equipped on the Chinese-Polish Joint Stock Shipping Co.’s (Chipolbrok) 1,100TEU containership. The new engine awaiting delivery to Shanghai shipyard in China is a next-generation, artificially intelligent, electronically-controlled engine developed by Wartsila for the first time in the world. The Sulzer RT-flex system has the benefits of an electronically-controlled common-rail fuel system such as fuel-savings, environmental friendliness with up to 55% reduction of emissions, and steady running of the engine at various speeds. The first of these engines-the 17,340bhp electronically-controlled engine (Sulzer 6RT-flex58T-B), manufactured by the Engine & Machinery Division under license with Wartsila in 2001-has been in service in the US Gypsum Transportation’s bulk carrier, logging 5,300 operation hours with excellent results.

Welding Line Shipped The Engine & Machinery Division recently shipped out the first lot of the light-weight passenger vehicle welding line ordered by Hefei Changhe Automobile Co., Ltd. of China. The order for the welding line that includes spot-welding robots, press dies, jigs and fixtures was awarded after intense competition with Japanese and other countries’ leading competitors in June 2002. The division is carrying out the installation and commissioning work for spot-welding robots, jigs and fixtures at the site. Press dies and other remaining parts for this project will be shipped in June 2003.
