SELECTION OF CARGO DISCHARGE PUMP

stripping-diagram

Proper speed of the pump doesn't allow slops to build up , otherwise rewashed resulting in lost of time, that's why throughout the cleaning process , Expertise always kept cargo pump ( suitable with proper speed ) in runing condition.

BENEFIT OF BALANCED CARGO PUMP SPEED :

The flow of water through the pump acts as a cooling for the seals.If the pump runs dry for a while the seals might get damaged from overheating.

 

Reverse Osmosis Generators For Ships - The Working Principle

osmosis

Ships are always surrounded by literally unlimited quantity of water, except perhaps when undergoing drydock repairs. Since there are human beings on board on all types of ships, we certainly need drinking water on board. We have already studied about the machine known as the fresh water generator which is used to produce pure water out of the salty sea water.

   

Thermostatic Expansion Valve or TEV

Thermostatic expansion valve is one of the most commonly used throttling devices in the refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Let us see the details of this valve that automatically maintains the flow of the refrigerant inside the evaporator.

What is Thermostatic Expansion Valve or TEV?

Thermostatic expansion valve or TEV is one of the most commonly used throttling devices in the refrigerator and air conditioning systems. The thermostatic expansion valve is the automatic valve that maintains proper flow of the refrigerant in the evaporator as per the load inside the evaporator. If the load inside the evaporator is higher it allows the increase in flow of the refrigerant and when the load reduces it allows the reduction in the flow of the refrigerant. This leads to highly efficient working of the compressor and the whole refrigeration and the air conditioning plant.

   

Three Stages of Main Engine Control (2)

2. Central Control

In order to conduct the central control, the measuring meters for various kinds of such parameters of M. E. and aux. machinery as pressure, temperature, voltage, current, frequency, rpm and so forth are to be arranged and fitted in the control room, which is situated at the engine space and with the sound insulation and air conditioning equipment.

The realization of ship's automation brings in countless advantages; for automation makes it possible to free the crew from toiling and moiling, improve upon their working conditions, minimize their number so as to raise the economic effects and safeguard the voyage safety. It is obvious that the new automation technology will accompany the development of the shipbuilding industry all the way.

   

Power systems of Diesel Engine (2)

The power systems of a diesel engine are a primary part of a power plant, the function of which is to guarantee proper operation of the power plant and which mainly consist of F. O. system, L. O. system, cooling system and compressed air system.

Marine Diesel Engines (2)

a diesel engine is a very complex and complicated combination of thousands of elements. There are also a few auxiliary systems in a diesel engine. They are as follows:

The technical term outfitting is relevant to a wide range of knowledge in the light of the latest classification in the shipbuilding circle in Japan. In addition to ship outfitting, which is dealt with in Ship Equipment, outfitting also concerns engine outfitting, electricity outfitting and painting. From this lesson on, we shall come to learn the engine outfitting.

 

   

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler

Acoustic Doppler Current ProfilerThe RDI Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) employs the Doppler principle to measure speed and direction of currents in the water column below a moving vessel.

   

Properties of Distillate and Residual Fuels

Density
This is the mass per unit volume and is generally given as kg/m3 at 15OC and is specifcially given as that found in a vacuum. The density reduces with increasing temperature and alos reduces in air although the latter by only about 0.1%.
