Diesel marine engines rely on lubricating oil to reduce friction and wear between moving parts, as well as to cool and clean the engine components. Lubricating oil pressure is an important indicator of the engine’s health and performance. If the lube oil pressure decreases gradually over time, it may indicate some potential problems that need […]
A crank pin, also known as a connecting rod journal, is the part of a crankshaft that connects to the piston rod and rotates in the bearing. In a 4 stroke engine, the crankpin undergoes four phases of motion: intake, compression, power and exhaust. During these phases, the crankpin is subjected to various forces and […]

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 […]
Exhaust Gas Boiler Fire causes and actions to be taken in such scenario are discussed in this article. If proper precaution and maintenance is done, such a scenario can be avoided easily. It has happened that fire have become so intense that it has lead to melting of the whole boiler. So we will divide […]
In internal combustion engines or any machinery that involves moving parts, it needs lubrication for the basic reason that it will avoid wear and tear in between moving parts. In shipping where the size of the engines is huge, lubrication requirements are specific and much important. On board ship mainly lubrication is needed for main engines in large scale, […]
Marine Diesel Engine nowadays employs the hydraulic mechanism of opening and closing the exhaust valve. Just like other machineries, it also requires maintenance from time to time. Let’s have a look at its working and maintenance. Main Engine Exhaust Valve Parts · Hydraulic Pipe · Hydraulic Oil Cylinder · Air Cylinder · Spindle and vanes · Exhaust Valve Housing You might like to […]
