Upbound Ceremony of “Yuehua Erhao”

Successful Trial Voyage of “Yuehua Erhao”

Main Switchboard Inspection Site of “Yuehua Erhao”

On June 13, 2021, “Yuehua Erhao”, the largest 4000m³ LPG ship in the Yangtze River Basin built by Wuzhou Shipbuilding, sailed smoothly from the Wuzhou Shipbuilding wharf to its home port in Hunan Yueyang at full speed. On April 8, 2021, the ship’s automatic power station passed the CCS inspection. It was successfully launched at 10:18 on April 15 and completed the trial voyage on May 18. All test results meet the specifications and regulations, and achieve the design requirements, the trial voyage was a complete success.
This ship is a normal temperature full-pressure LPG ship with twin engines, twin propellers and twin stern rudders, which is designed by CSDI (Changjiang Shipping Design Institute). The whole ship is made of steel with partial double bottom and double shell structure. The steam pressure of tank design is 1.75 MPa, the design temperature is (-10~+45)°C. It can be used to carry a variety of LPG goods, including butylene, propylene, pentene, propane, pentane, mixed butane/propane, VCM, DME, Mixed C4, etc. The designed navigation zone of this ship is inland river A/B class navigation zone, J2 class segment. It mainly sails from Shanghai to Yichang, and then passes through the Three Gorges Dam to Chongqing.
The ship’s main switchboard adopts SmartGen HMC6 multi-master power management controller to realize automatic schedule and protection functions of 3 main gensets. During the commissioning process of the power station, SmartGen on-site service personnel, together with the main switchboard manufacturer, the project management staff of Wuzhou Shipbuilding, the shipowner’s representative and complete genset manufacturer, worked side by side to ensure that the power station passed the acceptance of CCS with high standard. It is another successful application of SmartGen marine control products in marine automatic power station.

The Dragon Boat Festival in memory,

The sugar cake is sweet, the dragon boat rises, the calamus hangs;

It is also a single pang of homesickness, a ticket, and a trace of concern.

The Dragon Boat Festival in SmartGen,

The glutinous rice is fragrant, fruit is hung up, everyone increases their skills;

It is also a beautiful, a simple, and a kind of enthusiasm.

Dragon Boat Festival,

No matter Qu Yuan’s patriotic spirit,

Or Wu Zixu’s tragic history,

A little expectation, a little exorcism, a little warning,

All glitter the profound cultural heritage of the Chinese nation.

We are in the same boat and create beautiful together, enjoy the colorful life~~

SmartGen wishes you a healthy Dragon Boat Festival!

SmartGen new engine water heater—HT310/HT322, oil heater—HTL02A/HTL04A came into the market!

Application: When the outside temperature is below 4°C and engine is cranking, its coolant and lubricant may condense into solid state and lose cooling and lubrication effect, thus damaging the engine. Thereby, heater should be installed to ensure engine’s normal cranking and operation when the environment temperature is below 4°C.

HT310/HT322—Engine Water Heater

• Fine cast aluminum enclosure and special surface treatment with high corrosion resistance and high/low temperature capability;
• Can work normally at -40°C temperature;
• Coolant temperature is controlled by thermostat which is installed within the heater. It has simple connections and high reliability;
• Multiple installation methods, use easily and conveniently, suitable for water-cooled engine with (0~13)L displacement.
