By C. T. Wilbur, D. A. Wight, Marine Propulsion

Pounder's Marine Diesel Engines, 6th version specializes in advancements in diesel engines.
The publication first discusses thought and basic ideas. Theoretical warmth cycle, useful cycles, thermal and mechanical potency, operating cycles, gas intake, vibration, and horsepower are thought of. The textual content takes a glance at engine choice and function, together with direct and oblique force, greatest score, exhaust temperatures, derating, suggest potent pressures, gasoline coefficient, propeller functionality, and gear build-up. The e-book additionally examines strain charging. Matching of turboblowers, blower surge, turbocharger kinds, consistent strain procedure, impulse turbocharging technique, and scavenging are mentioned. The textual content describes gas injection, Sulzer, guy, and Burmeister and Wain engines.
The choice additionally considers Mitsubishi, GMT, and Doxford engines. The textual content then specializes in fuels and gas chemistry; operation, tracking, and upkeep; major working difficulties; and engine install. Engine seatings and alignment, response measurements, crankcase explosions, major engine crankshaft defects, bearings, fatigue, and overhauling and upkeep are mentioned.
The booklet is an effective resource of knowledge for readers desirous to examine diesel engines.

Example text

At low engine loads there is insufficient energy in the exhaust gases to drive the turboblower at the speed required for the necessary airmass flow. In addition, the small piston movement during the through scavenge period does nothing to assist the flow of air, as in the fourstroke engine. Accordingly, starting is made very difficult and off-load running can be very inefficient. Below certain loads it may even be impossible. A solution is found by having mechanical scavenge pumps driven from the engine arranged to operate in series with the turboblowers or, as is more common on the latest engines, electrically driven auxiliary blowers.

For example, most ships' engine rooms now incorporate a control room to provide some noise protection. The last point will be appreciated every time the door is opened. W. Engine selection The choice of a main propulsion engine for a motorship is by no means an easy one. A few years ago a shipowner had the straight choice of a direct coupled slow-speed engine driving a fixed pitch propeller or a geared four-stroke, medium-speed engine driving either a fixed or controllable pitch propeller. Today, vessels are entering service with geared and direct coupled two-stroke engines driving either fixed or controllable pitch propellers and geared four-strokes; while for certain ships, particularly those involved with offshore oil exploration and production, diesel—electric power plants are becoming increasingly popular.
