FCX Truflo Marine has secured a highly significant order for advanced 'air stations' designed to control vital functions on three new destroyers scheduled to be built in Korea. It is the first major Korean order secured by FCX Truflo Marine and follows months of groundwork and preparation. The first order was followed by a second ship set in September 2001.
The Bumhan compressor package used by Daewoo shipping on the Korean 4800t KDX II destroyer is to feature FCX Truflo Marine air stations.
Each ship set includes two gas turbine starts, a diesel engine start, a torpedo air control station, a pressure maintaining valve block, an isolating valve block and a distribution block.
