    filter against fuel bugs

    Hi Orenda, I tried this indeed, but as you say, one need to dose this periodically. I heard about these filters, and there is no need for periodic maintenance with these. That is wat appeals to me. But then, if this is no go: What is the best biocide in the market nowadays? Thanks,

    radio communication in noisy areas

    I work on a dredge in the engine room. Sometimes we need to communicate in the engine room by radio(UHF or VHF). We now have radios with headphones that have a microphone boom. It is close to impossible to get yourself heard over the noise. Who has good experience with other solutions, i heard...

    Mixing valve instead of heat exchanger.

    I sailed on a dredge before( it was build in 1997) and that had a mixing pipe instead of a heat exchanger for cooling the jacket water(HT+/- 85 degrees) of the main engines. each engine had it's LT (about 45 degrees) system and it's HT system. each with a pump, with one pump each stand-by. In...
