With the introduction of new rules such as the energy efficiency design index (EEDI), energy saving on ships has become a matter of great importance. Chief engineer Mahendra Singh provides great tips on saving energy and increasing efficiency on ships in this article.
In this article, we have discussed about five main types of waste energy utilisation systems which are fitted on ships and which use the lost energy from the machinery systems to perform other productive work, increasing the overall efficiency of the ship as a whole.
Optimal performance of Oily water separator on ships depends on a number of factors. Marine Engineers must consider twenty most important aspects mentioned in this article for smooth functioning of the OWS.
Like every other machinery, the turbine generator of the ship also needs to start under sequential starting procedure to avoid trouble free operation of the whole system. The correct procedure ensures that no part of the machinery goes through any kind of stress- thermal or mechanical.
The air compressor on a ship produces compressed air having high temperature. The article explains you about the basics of air compressor on a ship.
HFO or Heavy fuel oil is the most prominently used fuels for propulsion of ships. Learn about important properties of HFO, difficulties that are faced while using them on board and methods used for treating them.
Turbine generator is a popular source of clean power generation on ships as they don’t use any type of fuel i.e. heavy or diesel oil. Steam is used for power production in case of turbine generators. Steam is an easy, environmental friendly and cheap form of fuel on ships. For turbine generators, the steam comes…
Learn some not-so-commonly-known features of marine generators and some overlooked but important points that are not commonly discussed or taught in training sessions or marine engineering books.
Trailers are used to haul goods that are very heavy in weight or huge in size. Trailer winches have cables that are designed to make the loading and unloading of commodities smoother and easier. In terms of boats, loading and unloading boats from trailers would become almost impossible, because of the bulk of the boat, in the absence of a boat trailer winch.
