Governor of engine is a piece of instrument and an integral part of engine working system. Well the main function of a Governor is to control the speed or RPM of the engine in a control manner. What happens is that when load on engines changes, engine tends to accelerate or decelerate. During increase in load, RPM of the Engine […]
Boiler is an important piece of machinery that is being on ship. It is used to generate steam and in turn this steam is used for various purposes like heating of fuel oil, laundry etc. Since Boiler is a pressurized vessel and it is needed all the time, proper functioning of this piece of equipment is always necessary. There […]
Reciprocating pump are very important part of the ship’s machinery and any other industry which is present in the world. High pressure is the main characters of this pump, and this high pressure output are being used in places like starting of the engine or you can say the building of pressure in the fluids. […]
This article discusses about the working and construction of an incinerator. The incinerator is used on board ship to burn the waste products generated on board and other waste. It is also very important machinery and thus it is necessary for us to know about this machinery. So, let’s discuss about this machinery in little […]
This article states the reason why there less sea jobs in shipping sector. Let’s have a look at these factors that are contributing towards the unemployment in the shipping industry. Before the year 2008, everything was very normal and every cadet was getting job so as to fulfill his or her dream of becoming a sailor. And then world was […]
A centrifugal pump is used in large number on board ship and every marine engineer should know how to overhaul the centrifugal pump. Centrifugal pumps are mostly preferred because their outflow is large as compare to other pumps and their maintenance is less. But the pressure developed from this type of pump is not that much and reciprocating pumps come […]
Condensers (If we are talking about cooling down a fluid) or heat exchangers (If we are talking in general) are essential part of any industry. Due to these pieces of equipment, the transfer of heat takes. In a refrigeration process, condensers are used to cool down the refrigerant. But in different machineries they can be doing heating work also and […]
Refrigeration is a prerequisite process these days. As shipping of goods from one place to another place is increasing at a tremendous rate, protecting the food products is becoming vital. But it is a not just food product that uses refrigeration process. In gas tankers, gas is kept under liquid state with the help of refrigeration process or Marine […]
Introduction to Screw Pump Screw pump has a structure same like a screw. I mean the whole construction of the spindle is like a archimedes screw and this spindle is responsible for the pumping action of the pump. It has been observed over the years that this pump requires least maintenances and therefore, is a potential device for increasing […]
Introduction to Gear Pump Gear pump is among the important pumps, which are used on board ship. They are basically having gears, and these gears are responsible for the providing pressure energy to the fluid flowing through it. They mainly find their application in the lubrication oil transfer and hence are fitted with the main engine […]
