Purifier problems are discussed about the purifiers, most common problems and how we can rectify them easily. Troubleshooting is a major part of a marine engineer work place. And if done in a systematic and ideal approach, it can save lot of hard work and also time. In this article have picked six common problems […]
Get to Know Insights of Marine Pollution like what is it, who is causing it, whom it effects, times when it happened worse and why the situation is so grim. Water, the very essence of life on earth, the fluid that flows inside every cell, the one who makes this ‘Blue Planet’, is no less than immortal fluid. Life […]
Electrical propulsion on ships has been discussed in this article in detail. Electric propulsion is used mostly on passenger vessels or Cruise lines and other small vessels. But with emissions norms becoming stringent, they will make their way into merchant shipping as well. Electrical propulsion has lot of advantages over the internal combustion engines which […]
Learn how Impressed Current Cathodic Protection On Ship works and what is the need of putting such system. We will start with basics, and then move on to the original setup which is used on ship. Ship hull is the most severely affected part when it comes to contact with seawater. From the day ship […]
Insulation testing is an important activity when it comes to the electric equipments. To carry the current in individual conductors, they should be insulated to each other and avoiding any contact between them. It is same like you want to transport water to other place. But you use pipe for that. Pipe is a like […]
Insulated and earthed neutral system both have been explained in this article in a detailed manner. We will also discuss the merits and demerits of individual systems. For critical equipments, we often use the insulated earth neutral system on ship. But earthed system is also important. And we will learn as how earthed system works. […]
Generator Protection Devices have been discussed in this article and they are as follows: ● Over Current Inverse Time Relay OCIR ● Over Current Instantaneous ● Negative Phase Sequence NPS ● Current Differential ● Earth Leakage Relay ● Under And Over Frequency ● Lock Out Trip ● Reverse Power Trip ● Over or Under Voltage […]
Common rail fuel injection have been discussed in this article for marine engines whether main engine for propulsion or diesel generators. This kind of fuel injection system has its own pros and cons and will be studying this in detail as how this system works. Such kind of arrangement is already being used in RT […]
Crankshaft for marine diesel engines have been discussed in this article. They are of many types and is used as per the need for a particular type of requirement. After piston takes away the combustion forces developed during ignition, it transmits forces to crankshaft, and gives it a circular cyclic motion. The shaft and the […]
