[PUP] Arild and the design build "thing"

[Ron Rogers]

elnav at telus.net He's in Vancouver, BC; but can develop plans for you without 
being at the boat. He is very, very good - at least the USCG trusts him to 
solve their problems on the new 47' MLB.

|
|
| I was sitting here tonight talking with Debbie about my recent post on our
|
| design adventure and, in doing so, I realized that I would be horribly
| remise not to mention our very own listee, Arild Jensen, who I got 
involved
|
| after the Kasten design was nearly finished and right as were selecting a
| builder.
|
| Arild explored some alternative get home, electrical propulsion ideas I 
had
|
| (that in the end were not practical), but in doing so I hired him to 
design
|
| the electrical details of Passage of Time and he did a marvelous job. It 
is
|
| an often overlooked area that is most frequently left by the designer to 
the
|
| builder. Arild really focused me on the entire electrical setup, looked at
| what I had put on my specifications list and made some hugely significant
| suggestions in changing the refridge and air conditioning system 
components
|
| for better energy usage.
|
| In the end I think I ended up with a very elegant electrical design that I
| am thoroughly delighted with and which is in many respects quite unique.
| Thanks to Arild, I was able to scrap the third engine (the stand alone
| generator). My "get home" engine doubles as the generator, but delivers DC
| power, not AC, to the batteries and the inverters via two huge alternators
| (it's a 24v boat). The John Deere main engine has an identical pair of big
| alternators, so whenever the main is running the entire boat is fully
| powered as if there was a generator running, but there isn't. When the 
main
|
| is running, for instance, the air conditioner is available if we want to
| stay cool, without the need to start the generator (the wing).
|
| Arild was a gold mine of help on an extremely important part of the design
| and I hope that he forgives me in failing to mention him before this.
