Dresser-Rand expands role in assisting U.S. fleet
Hellan Fluid Strainer of Cleveland, Ohio, has selected Dresser-Rand to provide overhaul and repair services for the military marine industry throughout the United States. An exclusive agreement specifies Hellan's fluid strainer and hose reel product lines that provide sea water cooling protection for critical machinery cooling systems, and hose reels for aviation fuel systems and firefighting equipment on U.S. Navy ships.
Dresser-Rand has more than 65 years experience supplying products and services to the U.S. Navy for all types of ships and submarines, including steam turbines and compression equipment for aircraft carriers, frigates, cruisers, destroyers, amphibious ships, and 688-Class and Trident Class submarines. Virtually every Navy ship and submarine has D-R equipment on board, and ships' compressors are considered critical equipment. On surface ships, compressed air is used for various functions, from firing weapons to operating propulsion plants. On submarines, compressed air is used to blow ballast tanks so the submarine can return to the surface. “Hellan was looking for a company with a broad service relationship already established in the industry,” said John Lee, project development manager at Dresser-Rand. “Our demonstrated expertise and responsiveness to the U.S. Navy made us the prime candidate for selection.” |
