Oil Fired Auxiliary Boilers The oil fired auxiliary boilers are not fitted with sootblowers. Soot removal from the heat transfer surfaces of the tubes is carried out by means of a water jet when the boiler is not in operation. The need for soot removal
The burner is of the rotary cup type and so does not require any atomising steam or air supply. Control air is needed for valve actuation and purging and an electrical supply is required to operate the rotary cup drive motor. Combustion air is supplied
The Electronic Governor System is a control system designed to accurately maintain the output shaft speed of the main propulsion engine to a given order. The governor consists of a microprocessor unit at the engine revolution control part and a fast response electrical servomotor with
The engine protecting system (EPS) is designed to monitor the ship’s main engine performance and speed, then control the engine protection functions, such as shutdown and slowdown, if the engine’s monitored operations exceed defined limits. The protecting system provides the following control and monitoring facilities:
Introduction The Bridge Maneuvering System is a bridge maneuvering system used for the remote control of the ship’s main diesel engine which is connected to a fixed pitch propeller. The maneuvering system allows for remote engine control from the bridge or engine control room. Control
Opposite each ballast tank there is a spur pipe off the 200mm IG line to the cargo tanks, which is fitted with a blank flange, this is to facilitate the emergency inerting of the ballast tanks. One flexible hose, 150mm in diameter and 30m long
The emergency fire pump is located in the emergency fire pump space inside the steering gear flat. The pump is used to supply the fire main when the fire and GS pumps in the engine room are unable to do so and to supply the
The general service air system is supplied by one electric motor driven air compressor operating at a pressure of 6.9MPa. The compressor discharges to a 3.0m3 air receiver and is controlled by the pressure in the receiver with the machine loading and unloading as required.
The starting air system is supplied by two main starting air compressors that supply two 5.0m3 starting air receivers. The compressors are of the two stage reciprocating type and are cooled by fresh water from the fresh water cooling system. A three-way temperature controlled valve
The steering gear consists of two rams and four cylinders that are driven by two electrically driven pumps. The pumps are of the variable displacement axial piston type of swashplate design for closed circuit transmissions and are contained in separate oil tanks. The steering gear
