Seagoing Vessel Governor Replacement

The seagoing vessel ARM22 Klaas Adriana, a Dutch ocean-going vessel, 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 1115L is a regulator widely used in the marine sector with an electric stepper motor as the actuator.

The challenge:
Reduction of increased maintenance costs and malfunctions of the Caterpillar 3606 DI-TA engine.

The solution:
Replacement of the existing governor with the proven 1115L controller from REGULATEURS EUROPA, which differs from the competition because the stepper motor drive enables both analogue and digital speed adjustment. The controller enables precise speed regulation and reacts quickly to changes in load or speed. The minimum and maximum speed as well as the speed ramps are easy to programme and adjust on the stepper motor's display.

The electrically adjustable starting fuel limiter prevents high emissions when starting the engine. A complete package is available which includes all the necessary installation materials so that retrofitting can be carried out with minimum downtime for the vessel.
