The QT IRON Anti Heeling System (AHS)


Through the last half decade we have
seen the number of heeling pumps being
delivered by Maskinfabriken IRON A/S
increase drastically. With this unique
product Maskinfabriken IRON A/S has
managed to find a niche within the need
of the marine industry.
Co-operating with manufacturers of advanced electronically controlsystems ensures the delivery of complete system
covering everything from heeling control,
tank level gauging, stability calculations
as well as advisory assistance to Customers all over the world.
For the growing market of smaller vessels Maskinfabriken IRON A/S has , in
corporation with N.J. Elektro, developed
a less sophisticated Anti Heeling System,
the Iron-AHS and IRON-AHPS systems.
This system consist of Starter, Controlpanel, slave-control-panel (s), a Heeling-

pump, a Butterflyvalve with pneumatic actuator and position-indicator as well as


level-switches.
The AHPS system allows for the usage of
preset list angle.

The above Schematic drawing (which is


the mimic diagram from the master control panel) shows the operation of the
IRON-AHS system. Being equipped with
light emission diodes the panel enables
the user to evaluate the system by a
glance.

The QT story
The IRON propeller pump, known under
its type name QT, was, like many of the
products contained within the Maskinfabriken IRON A/S product-program,
developed to suit the needs of a valued
Customer.
In this case the customer was the Danish
State Railways (DSB), who in 1954 was
facing problems, when designing a new
type of Railroad ferries. The problem
was that the ferry, when loading the
trains onboard, would list more than allowed in order to continue the loading

process. Consequently a simple and reliable system for overcoming this problem
was needed.
IRON, being a long time partner and supplier to DSB, was asked to investigate
the possibilities and the QT pump, a
QT400, was designed and successfully
installed onboard M/F Kong Frederik IX.
Through the Years the QT design has
been improved and the range enlarged to
meet the ever increasing demands of the
Marine Industry.

1906 was the year of the foundation of Maskinfabriken IRON


A/S.
A few years later the first pump was developed. It was a wing
pump, which was a big success for years. It was installed in
the Worlds first Ocean going diesel motor vessel
M/S Selandia.
The development of the wing pump had an important influence on the companys later product programme and today
the concentration focuses almost completely on pumps.
The maritime sector, off-shore industry, power stations, district heating plants, water works, irrigation, water treatment
plants and a wide range of industrial installations are areas
in which Maskinfabriken IRON A/S is involved.
