Residual Pressure Valves

The Drew Marine AMEROX Cylinder label has always included the statement
“RETURN WITH 1 BAR PRESSURE” as well as “Keep valve closed at all times
when not in use.” These instructions are not always followed and occasionally
cylinders are returned that have been exposed to salt water with the top valves
open. Water inside a cylinder can result in serious internal corrosion, in the case
of an oxygen cylinder, or a significant reduction in the capacity of an acetylene
cylinder.
Since January 1996, Drew Marine has equipped every new permanent gas
cylinder, and all other cylinders requiring valve replacement, with a new, unique
top valve, that automatically closes when the cylinder pressure has dropped to
about 1 bar, thus closing off the inlet and preventing the accidental entrance of
water or moisture. The Drew AMEROX Residual Pressure Valve is ideally suited
to the marine industry since it assures a significant increase in the level of safety
of Drew-supplied cylinders and requires no change in the way our customers use
the gases delivered in the cylinders. No special adapters are required, no special
procedures need be followed.
Cylinders are potentially hazardous.
Refer to the Cylinder Safety Smart Chart on page 10.

AMEROX® Gas Welding & Cutting Equipment
The AMEROX Gas Welding and Cutting Kit AMEROX® GAS WELDING & CUTTING KIT, PCN 0523010
is especially designed to meet the highest
standards of the worldwide marine indus-
try and to perform under the most rigorous
shipboard conditions.
All parts in the AMEROX Kit are fully inter-

changeable with most existing equipment
now onboard and assure top performance
and reliability. Safety is always a prime
consideration, from the nozzle mixing
design of our cutting attachment, to the
recommended flashback arrestors and
backfire valves, which no welder should
be without. One example is the chrome
plating on AMEROX Blowpipes which is
specifically applied in order to avoid spat-
ter adherence and to reduce heat transfer
and possible backfires.
Our products are designed to perform

safely and reliably under the toughest
conditions of shipboard use. They are
supported with parts and service through
the Drew Marine organization in all major
ports throughout the world.

Gas Welding & Brazing Consumables
AMEROX Fluxes
Drew Marine fluxes are designed to exactly
match the characteristics of the brazing
rods with which they are recommended
for use. The flux removes the oxide layers
which are present both prior to brazing and
at elevated brazing temperatures. Fluxes
also improve the flow of the melted braz-
ing rod onto the base material. Since most
fluxes are corrosive, it is best to remove
any residual flux after the workpiece has
cooled. More detailed instructions may be
found in our Welding Handbook. Flux qual-
ity is assured by the tough plastic jar and AMEROX Fluxes
cap and moisture-proof seal.

and Brazing Rods
These rods and coating are low-fuming,
specially formulated to meet the demanding
marine applications and are all user-friendly
products. Flux coatings, where required, are
selected for easy wetting of the workpiece
and rapid cleanup, as well as a very low
hygroscopic level.
AMEROX Gas Welding and Brazing Rods
Each rod is selected for the solution of a
specific welding and brazing problem and is
particularly useful on difficult jobs such as
thin materials or special alloys or material
combinations.
High density polyethylene tubing with clear
screw caps assures highest quality at
delivery, as well as resealability after
initial use. Complete product description and
application information is included on the

Packaging
AMERARC PLUS Electrode packages are also built for the marine
environment. Many in the marine industry will recognize the
unique plastic tube that stores our AMERARC PLUS welding
electrodes. Polyethylene construction makes this heavy-duty
container highly resistant to water and moisture – exactly the
construction needed for shipboard use. The snap-on polypropyl-
ene cap, sealed to the container when delivered, has a specially
designed gasket to permit efficient resealing.
Drew Marine maintenance and repair electrodes are placed in

a cardboard tray that is then vacuum-sealed in a resealable
composite metal foil pouch. The pouch is packed in a square or
rectangular high density, rigid multi-layer box and then shrink-
wrapped for further protection. All parts of the package can be

AMERARC™ Plasma Cutting Equipment
DESCRIPTION
The AMERARC XL PLUS Series Air/Nitrogen Plasma Cutting
Systems is especially well-suited for marine applications. The
machine is based on inverter technology, providing an exceptional
degree of reliability and low weight for portability. The 1O2XL Plus
model is available, rated for cutting 25mm thick material under all
conditions and 45mm under specific conditions (lower speed). The
machine can be operated from any primary input from 208 to 460
vac +1- 10%, single or three phase, 50 or 60 Hz.
The AMERARC Plasma machine can be used to cut any metal that
is electrically conductive. All steels, stainless steels, cast irons,
aluminum, and copper alloys can be cut easily, quickly and cleanly.
The combined effect of a high intensity arc and a hot, high velocity
plasma gas results in a very clean, high speed cut. Most surfaces AMERARC Plasma Cutting System
require only minimum cleanup and have sharp, well defined edges.

RECOVERY/RECYCLING/RECLAMATION
The Montreal and Kyoto Protocol, in conjunction with environmental regulations in
most countries, now mandate the recovery of refrigerant from a system prior to beginning
service work. While most marine systems contain receivers that are capable of containing
the entire system charge and can be isolated from the rest of the system, it may still be
necessary to have recovery equipment on board to meet current requirements. In addi-
tion, with the rising costs of all refrigerants, it makes economic sense to recover as much
refrigerant as possible and recycle it back into the system, in contrast to replacing the
charge with new refrigerant.
In addition to a recovery machine and charging manifold, recovery cylinders are
