Aquafax presented with Mastervolt Worldwide Service Award

Aquafax, the distributor of marine equipment, based in Luton, UK, has won the Mastervolt Worldwide Service Award for its outstanding service record.

During the two and a half year relationship between the two companies, Aquafax has worked hard to develop and improve the Mastervolt service network within the UK. To that end, the company recently took delivery of a bespoke Mastervolt test rig, which was specifically designed to scrutinise Mastervolt equipment and put it through its paces, analysing performance and identifying problems. The system will greatly improve turnaround times for customers, enabling Aquafax to fulfil warranty and general repair work without the need to return equipment to Mastervolt HQ in The Netherlands. The test rig, which was created in conjunction with Aquafax and is the only such rig in the world, will save customers both downtime and money.

Managing Director of Aquafax, Nigel Pearson, commented, "We are absolutely delighted. This Award recognises all the hard work we’ve put in to develop the test equipment and improve both service standards and response times for customers."

Set up in 1982, Aquafax is a family run firm headquartered in Luton, and branches in Hamble, Middlewich, Wroxham and Plymouth.

Mastervolt upgrades its Mass Charger range.

Mastervolt upgrades its Mass Charger range for even better endurance in tough environments.

Leading Dutch electrical specialist Mastervolt has just completed a system-wide upgrade on its top-end battery chargers, the Mass Charger range.

These rugged chargers have already proved themselves to be completely reliable in some of the harshest conditions afloat, yet Mastervolt has made them tougher still with an even greater resistance to heat, vibration, humidity, and condensation. It has also added a number of technological improvements, including MasterBus connectivity.

Mastervolt’s Mass Chargers are part of the ‘best in class’ range. Available in 12, 24 and 48-Volt models, they are also in demand on commercial ships, explorer vessels and offshore oil installations, where they ensure that full battery power is available 24/7, which is crucial in an emergency.

What sets these chargers apart is the over-engineering of the components and the use of high-frequency electronics, which leaves them under-stressed and operating at much lower internal temperatures. The chassis is made from anodised aluminium to prevent corrosion, and Mastervolt has thoughtfully kept the footprint exactly the same as earlier models, so a straight swap during a refit or overhaul can be done with minimal down time.

A special cooling process means the Mass Charger range can operate at full power, continuously, in an engine room with the temperature at a blistering 45 ^oC, and the vibration rating is to the demanding IEC60945 standard. Reliability is in excess of 280,000 hours without failure (MTBF), and the Mass Charger emits only ultra-low electromagnetic radiation, so nearby systems will be unaffected. It also has electromagnetic immunity from transformers or pumps that may share the bulkhead.

Because of the commercial and superyacht applications, the approvals on all 230V single phase 24/75 and 24/100 Mass Chargers are to DNV, Germanische Lloyd, Bureau Veritas, and Lloyds standards. This allows older chargers to be swapped for the upgrades whilst still preserving the approvals.

Rugged reliability apart, the Mass Charger also excels at its job – providing clean, DC output from what could be intermittent and unreliable shore power. In fact, the output is so clean the charger can be used as a dedicated power supply in it’s own right, with a unique power take-off.

The input range of voltages can be harnessed between 190-265V, and the heavy-duty design allows for full current delivery even though vessels cable losses require the charger to charge at a voltage of 30V. After 20 years of research and development, the 3-phase step charger technology has proved itself to be the quickest and most efficient way to keep healthy batteries at peak condition. The process is also ideal for revitalising completely flat batteries to minimise the ill effects of total discharge.

If there is an interruption in the shore-power during the process, the Mass Charger picks up where it left off, rather than starting the 3-phase cycle all over again. There is even a setting for the delicate charging of Nickel Cadmium batteries.

Amongst the upgrades is the addition of full MasterBus connectivity, allowing the charger to communicate with the rest of a Mastervolt system by means of a single ‘plug and play’ CAN-bus cable. This provides total monitoring and automatic control of the distribution system when power is being generated from several different sources.

"We’ve made the best even better," explained Marc Persoon, Mastervolt’s Marketing Manager. "The Mass Charger range is the ultimate in reliability. We have maintained the dimensions and connections of the earlier models, but managed to actually improve the design from the experience of 10 years of heavy use, from the Polar Regions to the Tropics."

The Mass Charger range features 11 models in total, with two 12-volt, seven 24-volt and two 48-volt versions.

Prices start from £716.00 excluding VAT.

Mastervolt en STEYR's propulsion system of the future

Mastervolt & Steyr's propulsion system of the future

As a result of their ongoing partnership, leading Dutch-based electrical specialist MASTERVOLT and the Austrian specialist of Marine diesel engines STEYR MOTORS are proud to announce that the revolutionary series hybrid propulsion system based on the GPX has just been announced.

Mastervolt has been at the forefront of pioneering work in this field, including close co-operation with the Austrian engine manufacturer Steyr.

Steyr has developed a highly efficient and compact Genset combining a unique, powerful diesel engine with a highly efficient PM (permanent magnet) generator to be integrated within the GPX models. The core of the Genset is a newly developed horizontal 2 cylinder parallel twin marine diesel engine with 25 kW based on the proven STEYR MOTORS M1 Monoblock design, and equipped with a STEYR MOTORS patented mass balancing system.

Talks are in progress with yacht builders for them to become potential field testing partners, because the application of the GPX technology results in the ideal propulsion and electric power system. With the benefits of electric propulsion, high torque at low speeds making manoeuvring extremely easy, it enables you to cruise with just the sound of the water passing the hull. The usual drawback of limited range will not be part of this system, as the GPX will operate as a range extender.

The GPX is best described as a compact, intelligent power station, and features a small but powerful engine with generator, an inverter, a three-step battery charger and shore power hub all in one neat package. Much smaller and lighter than conventional generators, it supplies everything needed to run high-demand systems on a boat, and does so with automatic precision. By using energy from the batteries to support the smaller and highly efficient generator at peaks, the generator can be much smaller. By combining a variable speed generator with the highly efficient permanent magnet, the generator can be another 15% smaller at the same output levels. The built-in inverter produces perfect sine-wave output power for any onboard application, even the most sensitive, like electric cooking plates. Communicating with all the systems on board via a CAN-Bus network, it also intelligently manages any shore power feeds, and ensures that batteries of whatever type are replenished as quickly as possible.

Marketing Manager of Mastervolt, Marc Persoon commented: "The GPX is one of our strategic developments. This development involves a partnership with state-of-the-art engine builder, STEYR. Together we will build a new generation of generators that is always ready to go, is smaller, weighs less and is more fuel efficient."

"This highly efficient series hybrid propulsion system is created to be in line with the requirements of boat builders. Optimized power management, silent move and high comfort, flexible and simple integration as well as reduced maintenance efforts are core values of this product," stated Michael Hauenschild, Project Manager at STEYR MOTORS.
