Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the technology of indoor and
vehicular environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor
air quality. HVAC system design is a subdiscipline of mechanical engineering, based on the
principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. "Refrigeration" is sometimes
added to the field's abbreviation, as HVAC&R or HVACR or "ventilation" is dropped, as in HACR
(as in the designation of HACR-rated circuit breakers).
Ventilating or ventilation (the "V" in HVAC) is the process of exchanging or replacing air
in any space to provide high indoor air quality which involves temperature control, oxygen
replenishment, and removal of moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, carbon
dioxide, and other gases. Ventilation removes unpleasant smells and excessive moisture,
introduces outside air, keeps interior building air circulating, and prevents stagnation of the
interior air.

13. Key Concept
The ideal working fluid or often called refrigerant would have favorable
thermodynamic properties, non-explosive, be noncorrosive to mechanical components, and be
safe, including freedom from toxicity and flammability. It would not cause ozone depletion or
climate change. Since different fluids have the desired traits to a different degree, the choice is
a matter of trade-offs.

1. Describe the construction and operation of fin stabilizers, the arrangement and operation
of a flume stabilizer,
Overview
Ship stabilizers (or stabilizers) are fins or rotors mounted beneath the waterline and
emerging laterally from the hull to reduce a ship's roll due to wind or waves. Active fins are
controlled by a gyroscopic control system. When the gyroscope senses the ship roll, it changes
the fins' angle of attack to exert force to counteract the roll. Fixed fins and bilge keels do not
move; they reduce roll by hydrodynamic drag exerted when the ship rolls. Stabilizers are
mostly used on ocean-going ships. Fins work by producing lift or downforce when the vessel is
in motion. The lift produced by the fins should work against the roll moment of the vessel. To
accomplish this, two wings, each installed underwater on either side of the ship, are used.
Stabilizer movement is similar to that of aircraft ailerons. Some types of fins, especially the
ones installed on larger ships, are provided with flaps that increase the fin lift by about 15%.
Stabilizer control needs to consider numerous variables that change quickly: wind, waves, ship

motion, draft, etc. Fin stabilizers are much more efficient at higher velocities and lose
effectiveness when the ship is under a minimum speed.
Discussion
The sensing control of the system determines the angle of the tilt of the fins and the
resulting movement of the ship. For this, the control system of the stabilizers makes use of two
gyroscopes, one that senses the movement from the vertical and other that identifies the
rolling velocity. After assessing a ship’s roll angle, roll velocity, roll acceleration and natural list
the control system sends the signal for the right inclination angle needed for the fins.

Overview
Sewage treatment is the process of removing contaminants from municipal wastewater,
containing mainly household sewage plus some industrial wastewater. Physical, chemical, and
biological processes are used to remove contaminants and produce treated wastewater (or
treated effluent) that is safe enough for release into the environment. A by-product of sewage
treatment is a semi-solid waste or slurry, called sewage sludge. The sludge has to undergo
further treatment before being suitable for disposal or application to land.
Sewage treatment may also be referred to as wastewater treatment. However, the latter is
a broader term which can also refer to industrial wastewater. For most cities, the sewer system
will also carry a proportion of industrial effluent to the sewage treatment plant which has
usually received pretreatment at the factories themselves to reduce the pollutant load. If the
sewer system is a combined sewer then it will also carry urban runoff (stormwater) to the
sewage treatment plant. Sewage water can travel towards treatment plants via piping and in a
flow aided by gravity and pumps. The first part of the filtration of sewage typically includes a
bar screen to filter solids and large objects which are then collected in dumpsters and disposed
of in landfills. Fat and grease are also removed before the primary treatment of sewage.

Discarding sewage produced
onboard on a ship is one of the few
tasks on a ship which should be
taken utmost care of if one wants to
save him and his shipping company
from heavy fine. The sewage
generated on the ship cannot be
stored on the ship for a very long
time and it, for this reason, it has to
be discharged into the sea.
A chemical treatment plant consists of a big storage tank that collects, treats, and
stores the sewage for discharging it to the sea or ashore receiving facility. The sewage is first
collected in a tank and the liquid content is reduced.
The basic principle of the working of a biological treatment plant is the decomposition
of raw sewage. This process is done by aerating the sewage chamber with fresh air. The
aerobic bacteria survive on this fresh air and decompose the raw sewage which can be
disposed of in the sea. Air is a very important criterion in the functioning of the biological
sewage plant because if the air is not present, it will lead to the growth of anaerobic bacteria,
which produces toxic gasses that are hazardous to health.

An oily water separator (OWS) (marine) is a piece of equipment specific to the shipping
or marine industry. It is used to separate oil and water mixtures into their separate
components. This page refers exclusively to oily water separators aboard marine vessels. They
are found onboard ships where they are used to separate oil from oily wastewater such as
bilge water before the wastewater is discharged into the environment. These discharges of
wastewater must comply with the requirements laid out in Marpol 73/78.

Many conventional oily water separators fail to split stable emulsions and remove
suspended colloidal particles from the water phase. This often results in equipment
malfunction because the separation of oil below 15 ppm is not achieved or because of clogging
from excessive solids.

Overview
An incinerator is a furnace for burning waste. Many paper and pulp mills incorporate
them into their pollution mitigation systems. Incineration involves the high-efficiency
combustion of certain solid, liquid, or gaseous wastes. The reactions may be self-sustaining
based on the combustibility of the waste or require the addition of fuels. They may be batch
operations or continuous as with flares used to burn off methane from landfills, and they may
incorporate secondary control methods and operate at efficiency levels of 99.99%, as with
hazardous waste incinerators. The volume of solid waste can be reduced by up to 95%.
Combustion temperatures, contact time, and mass transfer are the major parameters affecting
incineration performance. Limitations include the high cost of supplementary fuel, high
temperatures require good thermal loss control, and hot surfaces, flashback, and explosive
conditions (Hutter, 1997). Figure 6.4 shows a schematic of an incinerator.
A windlass is a machine used on ships that are used to let-out and heave-up equipment
such as a ship's anchor or a fishing trawl. On some ships, it may be located in a specific room
called the windlass room.
An anchor windlass is a machine that restrains and manipulates the anchor chain on a
boat, allowing the anchor to be raised and lowered using chain cable. A notched wheel
engages the links of the chain or the rope.

the pawl, over the windlass gypsy (US wildcat) down through the "Spurling pipe" to the
chain/cable locker under the forecastle (or poop if at the stern (US fantail)) - the anchor bitts
are on a bulkhead in the cable locker and the bitter end of the cable is connected to the bitts
using the bitter pin, which should be able to be released from outside the locker to "slip" the
anchor.

Overview
Marine engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with nautical architecture and
science. The term 'Marine Engineering' is meant for research conducted in oceans and coastal
or inland waters connected to the sea. Marine Engineering courses deal with the construction
and maintenance of ships and other sailing vessels. A marine engineer (or ship engineer),
works in researching, developing, and constructing new marine vessels and their parts. This
includes creating blueprints, designing engines and propulsion systems, testing prototypes, and
supervising the construction of full-size ships. Marine Engineers have the complete
responsibility of the ship's technical management. They are responsible for selecting the ships'

machinery, which may include diesel engines, steam turbines, gas turbines; and for the design
of mechanical, electrical, fluid, and control systems throughout the vessel.
In the ship’s engine room, several gauging instruments display various important
parameters such as level, pressure, temperature, etc. But some essential parameters cannot
be read directly through any instrument as they depend on several dynamic factors.
This demands the marine engineer working onboard ships to do some formula based
calculations by considering all those factors and with possible available inputs. Of all the
important calculations that are to be done onboard ships, there a few ones which marine
engineers must know without fail.
Discussion
If you are a marine engineer or aspiring to be one, then it’s obvious that you would
eat, breathe, and sleep marine engines. The study of marine engines forms an integral part of
the marine engineering syllabus. Needless to say, every marine engineer must know this
important machine inside out. A Marine engine is a complex machine, which requires years of
experience and knowledge for understanding and handling the same. Moreover, there are
several engineering terms that an engineer should know like the back of his hand.

Indicated Power is defined as the power developed by the combustion of fuel inside
the engine cylinder. It is always more than brake power and is given by, Therefore, the
difference between ip and bp indicates the power loss in the mechanical components of the
engine due to friction. A propeller is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades that are
set at a pitch to form a helical spiral, that when rotated performs an action that is similar to
Archimedes' screw. It transforms rotational power into a linear thrust by acting upon a working
fluid such as water or air. The rotational motion of the blades is converted into thrust by
creating a pressure difference between the two surfaces. A given mass of working fluid is
accelerated in one direction and the craft moves in the opposite direction. Propeller dynamics,
like those of aircraft wings, can be modeled by Bernoulli's principle and Newton's third law.
Most marine propellers are screw propellers with helical blades rotating around an
approximately horizontal axis or propeller shaft.

Overview
UMS or Unattended Machinery Spaces is a marine automation system for the ship’s
engine room. Unlike conventional watch system on normal cargo ships, in UMS class vessels,
there are usually no engineer officers on watch in the engine room (from 1700 hrs. to 0700
hrs). If there is a malfunction in any machinery, an alarm will be sounded in the engine room
as well as in the ‘on duty’ engineer’s cabin. The engineer then must go down in the engine
room and investigate the alarm.
Before the ship’s duty engineer switches the engine room to UMS mode at the end of
day’s work, he/she has to take thorough engine room rounds to check the condition of all
running machinery systems and try to anticipate any probable alarms that could occur at night.
Normally, shipping companies provide a UMS checklist in their SMS and the engineer has to
adhere to the same.
• Make sure you inform the duty officer about your location when you leave the engine
room whether you are heading for your meal or to your cabin or the gym. The duty
officer should always know about your whereabouts. The time the engine room has to
be unattended depends on the Chief Engineer’s standing orders and the company’s
instructions.
• Make sure no alarms are in repose condition or manual mode. Also, ensure all alarm
set values are correct and not manipulated to avoid alarms; this practice is not safe at
all.
• We must get maximum purification for FO which is achieved at a minimum feed rate
and separating temperature of 98 Degree Celsius. It might not be possible to keep the
minimum feed rate all the time depending on the FO consumption and requirement.
• Many times, due to hot work in the engine room or during testing of detectors, fire
detectors of a particular zone are isolated. It has happened that after the work is
finished, personnel have forgotten to activate the detectors again. Hence it is necessary
to check whenever you are about to leave the engine room.

• Sludge tanks keep on increasing continuously when purifiers are running. Similarly, oily
bilge tanks keep on increasing when ME is running. Make sure they are below minimum
value to avoid overflowing and alarm.
Discussion
The ship’s engine room is the home to a variety of machinery and systems, which
work together to move the ship from one port to another. Engine room professionals have to
continuously work amidst such high temperature and pressure systems, which make an
extremely hostile working environment.
Despite taking all the precautions and safety measures while handling engine room
machinery systems, accidents are bound to take place in the ship’s engine room. Many of
these accidents are extremely dangerous not only to the ship’s properly but also to the lives of
seafarers. Mentioned below are such types of extremely dangerous engine room accidents that
occur in the ship’s engine room.
The engine room is a place where accidents and pollution incidents can easily occur if
safe working practices and pollution prevention measures are not strictly followed. The Chief
Engineer is responsible for ensuring that the importance of accident/incident prevention is fully
understood by all engineering staff including the potential risks involved.

All Engine Room Staff must be suitably dressed and must wear coveralls, safety shoes,
gloves, goggles, and helmets as per the VMS PPE matrix. Engine Room and machinery spaces
must be kept clean, tidy and as free as possible from oil/fuel stains or sources, all of which
must be identified and eliminated. To prevent fires, any possible source of uncontrollable heat
must be protected and any fuel leakage must be cleaned up and the source identified and
eliminated.

Overview
Watchkeeping is an integral part of the marine engineer’s duties on board ship. A lot of
maintenance work can be reduced by following an efficient watchkeeping routine in the ship’s
engine room. Moreover, it can also avoid serious accidents from taking place.
But what is the true yardstick for measuring the efficiency of a watchkeeping
procedure? A smooth-running ship is a product of efficient handling at the bridge and effective
management in the ship’s engine room under any seagoing condition.
The first and most important step to enhance your duties during a watch is to have a
very strong knowledge base. One must know the basics of the machines and their operations,
new trends and upcoming technologies, and maritime regulations along with their
amendments. It is commonly said on ships that to become a good watchkeeper, an engineer
must use all the 6 senses- i.e. touch, hearing, smell, visuals, taste, and kinaesthetic senses
(6th Sense). All these senses when applied correctly help an engineer to understand the
condition of machines in a better way. A smart engineer would know the importance of engine
room logbook and would also know how to interpret previous readings of different machines
from the same.
