Introduction

General

Although the ship is supplied with shipbuilder’s plans and manufacturer’s instruction books, there is no single
handbook which gives guidance on operating complete systems as installed on board, as distinct from
individual items of machinery.

The purpose of this manual is to fill some of the gaps and to provide the ship’s officers with additional
information not otherwise available on board. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the other plans and
instruction books already on board and in no way replaces or supersedes them.

Information pertinent to the operation of the BP Pioneer has been carefully collated in relation to the systems
of the vessel and is presented in two on board volumes consisting of the CARGO OPERATING MANUAL
and the MACHINERY OPERATING MANUAL.

The vessel is constructed to comply with Marpol 73/78. These regulations can be found in the Consolidated
Edition, 1991 and in the Amendments dated 1992, 1994 and 1995.

Officers should familiarise themselves with the contents of the International Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from Ships, so that they are aware of the category of the cargo being carried and the requirements for
cleaning of cargo tanks and the disposal of tank washings / ballast containing residues.

Particular attention is drawn to Appendix IV of Marpol 73/78, the form of Cargo Record Book. It is essential
that a record of relevant cargo/ballast operations are kept in the Cargo Record Book and duly signed.

In many cases the best operating practice can only be learned by experience. Where the information in this
manual is found to be inadequate or incorrect, details should be sent to the BP Technical Operations Office so
that revisions may be made to manuals of other ships of the same class.

Safe Operation

The safety of the ship depends on the care and attention of all on board. Most safety precautions are a matter of
common sense and good housekeeping and are detailed in the various manuals available onboard. However,
records show that even experienced operators sometimes neglect safety precautions through over-familiarity
and the following basic rules must be remembered at all times.

1 Never continue to operate any machine or equipment which appears to be potentially unsafe or dangerous
and always report such a condition immediately.

2 Make a point of testing all safety equipment and devices regularly. Always test safety trips before starting
any equipment. In particular, overspeed trips on auxiliary turbines must be tested before putting the unit to
work.

3 Never ignore any unusual or suspicious circumstances, no matter how trivial. Small symptoms often appear
before a major failure occurs.

4 Never underestimate the fire hazard of petroleum products, whether fuel oil or cargo vapour.

5 Never start a machine remotely from the control room without checking visually if the machine is operating
satisfactorily.

Introduction Page 1 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


In the design of equipment and machinery, devices are included to ensure that, as far as possible, in the event
of a fault occurring, whether on the part of the equipment or the operator, the equipment concerned will cease
to function without danger to personnel or damage to the machine. If these safety devices are neglected, the
operation of any machine is potentially dangerous.

Description

The concept of this Machinery Operating Manual is to provide information to technically competent ship’s
officers, unfamiliar to the vessel, in a form that is readily comprehensible, thus, aiding their understanding and
knowledge of the specific vessel. Special attention is drawn to emergency procedures and fire fighting
systems.

The manual consists of a number of parts and sections which describe the systems and equipment fitted and
their method of operation related to a schematic diagram where applicable.

Part one details the machinery commissioning procedures required to bring the vessel into varying states of
readiness, from bringing the vessel to a live condition through to securing plant for dry dock.

The second part of the manual details ships systems, providing a technical description, system capacities and
ratings, control and alarm settings and operating details. Part three provides similar details for the vessels main
machinery and control system.

The valves’ and fittings’ identifications used in this manual are the same as those used by the shipbuilder.

Illustrations

All illustrations are referred to in the text and are located either in-text where sufficiently small or at the rear
of the manual in A3 format.

Where flows are detailed in an illustration these are shown in colour. A key of all colours and line styles used
in an illustration is provided on the illustration. Details of colour coding used in the illustrations are given in
the following colour scheme.

Symbols given in the manual adhere to international standards and keys to the symbols used throughout the
manual are given on the following pages.

Notices

The following notices occur throughout this manual:

WARNING !
Warnings are given to draw reader’s attention to operation where DANGER TO LIFE OR LIMB MAY
OCCUR.

CAUTION !
Cautions are given to draw reader’s attention to operations where DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT MAY
OCCUR.

(Note ! Notes are given to draw reader’s attention to points of interest or to supply supplementary
information.)

2.1 Main Engine

2.1.1 Main Engine

Maker: Samsung - Man B&W


Model: 7S80MC
Engine Number: ML-0101
Type: Two stroke, single acting direct reversible, cross head diesel engine with two
constant pressure turbo chargers and air coolers.
Number of cylinders: 7
Cylinder bore: 800mm
Stroke: 3056mm
Output (M.C.R.): 34,650 bhp (25,480kW) at 79 rpm
Direction of rotation: Clockwise looking from aft
Specific fuel oil consumption: 120.9g/bhp per hour
Daily fuel oil consumption: XXXX MT/day at NCR

General description
The engine is a single acting, two stroke, direct reversible, cross head type, constant pressure turbocharged
diesel engine. Tie rods bind the bedplate, columns and cylinder jacket together. Crankcase and cylinder jackets
are separated from each other by a partition, which incorporates the sealing gland boxes for the piston rods.
The cylinders and cylinder heads are fresh water-cooled.

The exhaust gases flow from the cylinders through the hydraulically operated exhaust valves into an exhaust
gas manifold. The exhaust gas turbo-chargers work on the constant pressure charging principle.

The charge air, delivered by the turbo-chargers, flows through air coolers and water separators into the air
receiver. It enters the cylinders via air flaps through the scavenge ports when the pistons are nearly at their
B.D.C. At low loads independently driven auxiliary blowers supply additional air to the scavenging air space.

The pistons are cooled by bearing lubricating oil. The thrust bearing and turning gear are situated at the
engine-driving end. The camshaft is driven by a chain from the crankshaft.

The engine is started by compressed air, which is controlled by a starting air distributor.

In case of failure of the pneumatic control system, the engine can be controlled from an emergency control
stand.

Lubricating Oil System

The engine lubrication system, (with the exception of cylinder and exhaust valve spindle lubrication), is
supplied by one of two pumps, which take suction from the bottom tank, forcing it through the lub oil cooler
and filter. The oil then supplies the camshaft bearing, roller guides and exhaust valve actuators. Telescopic
pipes supply lubricating and cooling oil to the crossheads, crankpins and pistons. The remaining oil goes to the
main bearings, chain drive and thrust bearing.

Lubricating oil drains from the stuffing boxes are piped to the stuffing box drains tank where they can be
processed back to the lubricating oil sump by a combination of the lubricating oil purifier and a scavenge box
transfer pump and CJC filter.

A more detailed description of the lubricating oil system can be found in section 2.8.1.

2.1 Main Engine Page 1 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Cylinder lubrication system
To reduce liner wear rate each cylinder block is fitted with load dependent lubrication of the pistons, cylinders
and exhaust valve spindles, performed by a separate cylinder lubrication system. The lubricators are inter-
connected by shafts and couplings. The lubricators are driven by chain transmission from the camshaft
intermediate wheel. They are of the ‘Sight Feed Lubricator’ type and are provided with a sight glass for each
lubricating point. The oil is led to the lubricator through a pipe system from an elevated tank.

Cooling Water System

The engine is fresh water cooled supplied by jacket cooling water pumps. The fresh water is led from the
cylinder frame of each cylinder to the cylinder cover and through the exhaust valve up to a main outlet pipe
through which it is carried back to the fresh water cooler. The cooling water is also led to the exhaust
turbocharger from the main inlet pipe.

The inlet pipes to the cylinder are provided with a shut-off valve, the outlet pipes with a regulation valve, a
pocket for a thermometer and a deaeration cock. The deaeration pipe is fitted to the outlet manifold and led to
the fresh water expansion tank.

The fresh water pipes are covered with phosphatic film, ‘Parkerising’ instead of galvanising to avoid reaction
with corrosion inhibitors. The cooling water must be treated with an approved cooling water inhibitor to
prevent corrosive attack, sludge formation and scale deposits in the system.

A more detailed description of the cooling water system can be found in section 2.5.1.

Fuel Oil System

The fuel oil is led from the main inlet pipe through branches to the fuel injection pump of each cylinder.

In order to keep the fuel oil inlet to fuel injection pump pressure constant, regardless of the fuel oil
consumption during engine running, a spring loaded overflow valve is to be provided on the fuel oil inlet line.

The fuel oil is heated to the temperature required to achieve the optimum atomising viscosity, but, prior to
prolonged shut down, and after starting up from cold, the engine will be run on diesel oil in order that the high
pressure lines between the fuel injection pumps and fuel injectors do not become clogged with cold fuel oil.

A more detailed description of the fuel oil system can be found in section 2.6.1.

Turning Gear and Turning Wheel

The turning wheel has cylindrical teeth and is fitted to the thrust shaft. The turning wheel is driven by a pinion
on the terminal shaft of the turning gear, which is mounted on the bedplate. The turning gear is driven by an
electric motor with built-in gear and chain drive with brake. The turning gear is equipped with a blocking
device that prevents the main engine from starting when the turning gear is engaged. Engagement and
disengagement of the turning gear is effected manually by an axial movement of the pinion.

Starting Air System

The starting air system contains a main starting valve, a non return valve, a bursting disc for the branch pipe to
each cylinder, a starting air distributor and a starting valve on each cylinder. The main starting valve is
connected with the manoeuvring system, which controls the start of the engine.

The starting air distributor regulates the supply of pilot control air to the starting valves so that these supply
the engine cylinders with starting air in the correct firing order.

Draft Issue 1 2.1.1 Main Engine Page 2


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


The starting air distributor has one set of starting cams for ‘Ahead’ and one set for ‘Astern’, as well as one
control valve for each cylinder.

The air start valve is opened by pilot control air from the starting air distributor and is closed by a spring.

A more detailed description of the starting air system can be found in section 2.10.1.

Fuel Pump and Fuel Oil High-pressure Pipes

The engine is provided with one fuel pump for each cylinder.

The fuel pump consists of a pump housing, a centrally placed pump barrel, a plunger and a shock absorber. To
prevent fuel oil from mixing with the separate camshaft lubrication system, the pump is provided with a
sealing device arrangement. The pump is activated by the fuel cam and the volume injected is controlled by
turning the plunger by means of a toothed rack connected to the regulating mechanism.

The fuel pumps incorporate Variable Injection Timing (VIT) for optimised fuel economy at part load. The VIT
principle uses the fuel regulating shaft position controlling parameter. Adjustment of the pump lead is effected
by a threaded connection, operated by a toothed rack.

The fuel oil pump is provided with a puncture valve for each cylinder, which quickly prevents high pressure
from building up during normal stopping and shut down.

The fuel oil high-pressure pipes are equipped with protective hoses, and are neither heated nor insulated. Any
leakage from the protective hoses is led to a collecting tank with alarm.

Camshaft and Cams


The camshaft consists of a number of sections. Each individual section consists of a shaft piece with exhaust
cams, fuel cams, coupling parts and indicator cams.

The exhaust cams and fuel cams are of steel, with a hardened roller race, and are shrunk on to the shaft. They
can be adjusted and dismantled hydraulically.

The cam for the indicator drive can be adjusted mechanically. The coupling parts are shrunk on to the shaft and
can be adjusted and dismantled hydraulically. The camshaft bearings consist of one lower half shell mounted
in a bearing support which is attached to the roller guide housing by means of hydraulically tightened studs.

Chain Drive
The camshaft is driven from the crankshaft by a chain drive. The engine is equipped with a hydraulic chain
tightener, and the long free lengths of chain are supported by guidebars. The cylinder lubricators are driven by
a separate chain from the camshaft.

Governor
The engine is provided with an EGS 2000 electronic governor. The speed setting of the actuator is determined
by an electric signal from the electronic governor which is based on the position of the main engine regulating
handle. The actuator shaft is connected to the fuel regulating shaft by means of a mechanical linkage. The
governor is explained in detail in section 2.1.2.

Manoeuvring System
The engine is provided with a pneumatic electric manoeuvring and fuel oil regulating system. The system
transmits orders from the bridge, ECR or local control position to the engine.

2.1.1 Main Engine Page 3 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


The regulating system makes it possible to start, stop, reverse the engine and control the engine speed. The
speed control handle on the manoeuvring console gives a speed setting signal to the governor, dependent on
the desired number of revolutions. Reversing is effected by moving the telegraph handle from ‘Ahead’ to
‘Astern’ and by moving the speed control handle from ‘stop’ to ‘start’ position. Control air then moves the
starting air distributor and, through an air cylinder, the displaceable roller in the driving mechanism for the
fuel pump, to the ‘Astern’ position.
A more detailed description of the main engine control system can be found in section 2.1.2.

Scavenge Air System

The air intake to the turbocharger is direct from the Engine Room through the intake silencer of the
turbocharger. From the turbocharger, the air is led via the charging air pipe, air cooler, scavenge air receiver to
the scavenge ports of the cylinder liners. The charging air pipe between the turbocharger and the air cooler is
provided with a compensator and is heat insulated on the outside.

Air Cooler

The charge air cooler is of the block type made up of steel plates. The cooler housing is provided with
cleaning covers so the elements can be cleaned through the covers with the elements in position. The cooler
has an air reversing chamber with a water mist catcher incorporated to separate the condensation water from
the scavenge air. The separated water is collected in the bottom of the cooler housing and is removed by a
drain.

Exhaust Turbocharger

No. of sets : 2
Type : NA70/T9

The turbo charger bearing casing and exhaust casing are non - cooled with the bearing’s lubrication fed from
the piston L.O. cooling circuit. An observation glass is provided on the lubrication oil outlet from the
turbocharger.

A water washing system is supplied for the turbine and compressor sides.

The turbocharger is equipped with an electronic tacho system with pick-ups, converter and indicator mounted
in the engine control room.

Exhaust Gas System

From the exhaust valves, the gas is led to the exhaust gas receiver where the fluctuating pressure from the
individual cylinders is equalised and the total volume of gas is led to the turbochargers at a constant pressure.
After the turbochargers, the gas is led to the economiser heat recovery system.

Compensators are fitted between the exhaust valves and the receiver and between the receiver and the
turbocharger.

For quick assembling and disassembling of the joints between the exhaust gas receiver and the exhaust valves,
clamping bands are used.

The exhaust gas receiver and exhaust pipes are provided with insulation, covered by galvanised steel sheeting.

Auxiliary Blower

The engine is provided with two electrically-driven blowers. The discharge side of the blowers is connected to
the scavenge air space after the air cooler. Between the air cooler and the scavenge air receiver, non-return
valves are fitted, which automatically close when the auxiliary blowers supply the air.

The auxiliary blowers will start operating before the engine is started and will ensure sufficient scavenge air to
obtain a safe start. During operation of the engine, the auxiliary blowers will start automatically each time the
engine load is reduced to about 30-40%, and they will continue operating until the load again exceeds
approximately 40-50%.

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


c) The blowers will start at intervals.

The engine is now ready to start.

Make the following checks immediately after starting:

a) Direction of Rotation: Ensure that the direction of rotation corresponds to the telegraph order.

b) Exhaust Valves: See that all exhaust valves are operating correctly.
Disengage the lifting/rotation indicators after checking the functioning.

c) Turbochargers: Ensure the turbochargers are running.


See that the internal L.O. pumps have picked up suction and plenty of oil is in circulation.

d) Circulating Oil: Check that the pressure and discharge are in order.

e) Cylinders: Check that all cylinders are firing.

f) Starting valves on Cylinder Covers: Feel over the pipes.


A hot pipe indicates a leaking starting valve.

g) Pressures and temperatures: See that everything is normal for the engine speed. In particular, the
circulating oil (bearing lubrication and piston cooling), camshaft lubricating oil, fuel oil, cooling
water, scavenge air and control and safety air.

h) Cylinder Lubricators: Make sure that the lubricators are working and with an even ‘drop height’
level in all the sight glasses. Check the oil level in the feeder tank.

Loading the Engine

If there are no restrictions, such as running in after repairs, proceed to increase the load on the engine.

The cooling water should be preheated, but if the temperature is below 50°C allow the temperature to reach
this point before increasing load.

If the condition of the machinery is uncertain (e.g. after repairs or alterations), the ‘feel-over sequence’ should
always be followed, i.e.:
a) After 15-30 minutes’ running on ‘Slow’.
b) Again after 1 hour’s running.
c) At sea, after 1 hour’s running at service speed.

Stop the engine, open the crankcase and feel-over the moving parts listed below (by hand or with a ‘Thermo-
feel’) on sliding surfaces where friction may have caused undue heating. During feeling-over, the turning gear
must be engaged, and the main starting valve and the starting air distributor must be blocked.

The starting air distributor is blocked by closing the cross-over valve.

Running-in

For a new engine, or after repair or renewal of the large bearings, or renewal/reconditioning of cylinder liners
and piston rings, allowance must be made for a running-in period. For bearings increase the load slowly and
apply the feel-over sequence, as above.

Normal Operation

During normal running, regular checks have to be made and precautions taken which contribute towards
trouble free operation. The most important of these are:
a) Regular checks of pressures and temperatures.

b) The values read off the instruments compared with those given in the acceptance records and also
taking into account engine speed and/or engine power, provide an excellent yardstick for the
engine performance. Compare temperatures by feeling the pipes.

The essential readings are the load indicator position, turbo-charger speed, charge air pressure and exhaust gas
temperature before the turbine. A valuable criterion is also the daily fuel consumption, considering the lower
calorific value.

c) Check all shut-off valves in the cooling and lubricating system for correct position. The shut-offs
for the cooling inlets and outlets on the engine must always be fully open in service. They serve
only to cut off individual cylinders from the cooling water circuit during overhauls.

d) When abnormally high or low temperatures are detected at a water outlet, the temperature must be
brought to the prescribed normal value very gradually. Abrupt temperature changes may cause
damage.

e) The maximum permissible exhaust temperature at the turbine inlet must not be exceeded.

f) Check combustion by observing the colour of the exhaust gases.

g) Maintain the correct charge air temperature after the air cooler with the normal water flow. In
principle, higher charge air temperature will result in poorer filling of the cylinder, which in turn
will result in a higher fuel consumption and higher exhaust gas temperatures.

h) Check the charge air pressure-drop through the air filter and air cooler. Excessive resistance will
lead to a lack of air to the engine.

i) The fuel oil has to be carefully cleaned before being used. Open the drain cocks of all fuel tanks
and fuel oil filters regularly for a short period to drain off any water or sludge, which may still
have collected there. Maintain the correct fuel oil pressure at the inlet to the fuel injection pumps.

2.1.1 Main Engine Page 9 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Adjust the pressure at the injection pump inlet with the pressure-regulating valve in the fuel oil
return pipe so that the fuel oil circulates within the system at the normal delivery capacity of the
booster pump.

j) The heavy fuel oil has to be sufficiently heated to ensure that its viscosity before inlet to the fuel
injection pumps lies within the prescribed limits.

k) Determine the cylinder lubricating oil consumption. Extended service experience will determine
the optimum cylinder lubricating oil consumption.

l) The cooling water pumps should be run at their normal operating point, i.e. the actual delivery
head corresponds with the designed value. If the temperature difference between inlet and outlet
exceeds the desired value pump overhaul should be considered.

m) The vents at the uppermost points of the cooling water spaces must be kept closed

n) Check the level in all water and oil tanks, as well as all the drainage tanks of the leakage piping.
Investigate any abnormal changes.

o) Observe the condition of the cooling water. Check for oil contamination.

p) Check the charge air receiver drain manifolds sight glass to see if any water is draining away and
if so, how much.
q) Drain the scavenge spaces. To do this, open the drain cock of the leakage manifold daily and look
to see if any liquid flows out along with the charge air.
r) Check the pressure drop across the oil filters. Clean them if necessary.
s) The temperature of the running gear should be checked by feeling the crankcase doors. Bearings,
which have been overhauled or replaced, must be given special attention for some time after
being put into service.
t) Listening to the noise of the engine will reveal any irregularities.
u Hand drawn indicator diagrams and Premet XL data provide information on the combustion
process and pressures within the cylinder. When the quality of the fuel used changes the
maximum pressure in the cylinder at service power must be determined at the earliest opportunity
and compared with the pressure measured during the corresponding shop trial (speed, power).
v) Centrifuge the lubricating oil. Samples should be taken at regular intervals.
w) Replenish the air cushion in damping vessels of fuel oil system.
x) Check the inspection glasses in the upper casing of the exhaust valve periodically and note if the
air spring cylinder of each exhaust valve is rotating. If not, the offending valve has to be
overhauled at the next opportunity.

4.2 Fuel Change-over

The engine is equipped with uncooled, ‘all-symmetrical’, light weight fuel valves with built-in fuel
circulation. This automatic circulation of the preheated fuel (through the high-pressure pipes and the fuel
valves) during engine standstill, is the background for recommending constant operation on heavy fuel.

However, change-over to diesel oil can become necessary if the vessel is expected to have a prolonged
inactive period with cold engine, due to a docking or long stay in port.

Draft Issue 1 2.1.1 Main Engine Page 10


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


A change-over can be performed during engine running or engine standstill

It is very important to carefully follow the change-over procedures in order to prevent fuel pump and injector
sticking/scuffing, poor combustion or fouling of the gas ways

Change-over from Diesel Oil to Heavy Fuel During Running


a) Ensure that the heavy oil in the service tank is at normal temperature level.
b) Reduce the engine load to 3/4 of normal.
c) By means of the thermostatic valve in the steam system, or by manual control of the viscosity
regulator, heat the diesel oil to a maximum of 60-80°C to maintain the lubricating ability of the
diesel oil. This will minimise the risk of plunger scuffing and the consequent risk of sticking. This
preheating should be regulated to give a temperature rise of about 2°C per minute.

Due to the above-mentioned risk of sticking/scuffing of the fuel injection equipment, the temperature of the
heavy fuel oil in the service tank must not be more than 25°C higher than the heated diesel oil in the system
(60-80°C) at the time of changeover. The diesel oil viscosity should not drop below 2cSt, as this might cause
fuel pump and fuel valve scuffing, with the risk of sticking.

For some light diesel oils (gas oil), this will limit the upper temperature to somewhat below 80°C.

d) When 60-80°C is reached, change to heavy oil by turning the change-over cock. The temperature
rise is then continued at a rate of about 2°C per minute, until reaching the required viscosity.

Change-over from Heavy Fuel to Diesel Oil During Running


a) Preheat the diesel oil in the service tank to about 50°C, if possible.
b) Cut off the steam supply to the fuel oil preheater and heat tracing.
s
c) Reduce the engine load to 75% of MCR load.
d) Change to diesel oil when the temperature of the heavy oil in the preheater has dropped to about
25°C above the temperature in the diesel oil service tank, however, not below 75°C.

Note ! If, after the change-over, the temperature at the preheater suddenly drops considerably, the transition
must be moderated by supplying a little steam to the preheater, which now contains diesel oil.)

Change-over from Heavy Fuel to Diesel Oil During Standstill


a) Stop the preheating.For temperature levels before change-over, see ‘Change-over from Heavy
Fuel to Diesel Oil during Running’.

b) Change position of the change-over valve at the fuel tanks, so that diesel oil is fed to the supply
pumps.
c) Start the F.O. supply pumps (if they are not already running).
d) Change position of the change-over valve at the venting pipe, so that the fuel oil is pumped to the
HFO tank.
e) When the heavy fuel oil is replaced by diesel oil, turn the change-over valve at the venting pipe
back to its normal position, so that the heavy oil in the venting pipe is now mixed with diesel oil.
f) Stop the supply pumps.

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Preparations Prior to Arrival in Port

a) Decide whether the harbour manoeuvres should be carried out on diesel oil or on heavy fuel oil.
Changeover should be carried out one hour before the first manoeuvres are expected.
b) Start an additional auxiliary engine to ensure a power reserve for the manoeuvres.

c) Make a reversing test.This ensures that the starting valves and reversing mechanism are working.

d) Blow off any condensed water from the starting and control air systems just before the
manoeuvres.

e) Stop the engine by setting the regulating lever to stop.

Operations After Arrival in Port

When the FINISHED WITH ENGINE order is received in the control room:
a) Switch over to control room control.

b) Switch off the auxiliary blowers.


c) Test the starting valves for leakage. Obtain turning permission from the bridge. Check that the
turning gear is disengaged as a leaking valve can cause the crankshaft to rotate.

d) Close the valve to the starting air distributor.

e) Open the indicator valves.

f) Change to emergency control.

g) Activate the START button.This admits starting air, but not control air, to the starting valves.
h) Check to see if air blows out from any of the indicator valves. In this event, the starting valve
concerned is leaky. Replace or overhaul any defective starting valves.

i) Lock the main starting valve in its lowest position by means of the locking plate.

j) Stop the camshaft lubricating oil pump.

k) Close and vent the control air and safety air systems.
l) Wait a minimum of 15 minutes after stopping the engine, then stop the lube oil pumps This
prevents overheating of cooled surfaces in the combustion chambers and counteracts the
formation of carbon deposits in piston crowns.
m) If the engine was run on heavy fuel oil until stopped, keep the circulating pumps running and the
fuel oil preheated. The temperature may be reduced during the port stay. If the engine was run on
diesel oil, stop the fuel oil pumps.
n) Keep the engine preheated to minimum 50°C, unless the harbour stay exceeds 5 days. This
counteracts the corrosive attack on the cylinder liners during starting-up. Use a preheater or the
auxiliary engine cooling water for preheating of the engine.
o) Switch off other equipment which does not need to operate during the engine standstill periods.

Crash Stop

When the ship’s speed must be reduced quickly, the engine can be started in the opposite direction of rotation
according to the following procedure:

The procedure is valid for ECR Control and emergency control from engine local control position. Otherwise
the procedure is automatic by the DMS automatic bridge control system (see section 2.1.2)

a) Acknowledge the telegraph.

b) Give the engine a STOP order.


The engine will continue to rotate (at slowly decreasing speed), because the velocity of the ship through the
water will drive the propeller and thereby turn the engine.

c) Check that the limiters in the governor are not cancelled.

d) When the engine speed has fallen to the REVERSING-LEVEL give REVERSING order.

e) Give START order.


f) When the START-LEVEL is reached in the new direction of rotation (8-12% of MCR-speed)
Give order to run on fuel.
If the ship’s speed is too high, the START-LEVEL will not be reached quickly. This will cause a loss of
starting air. In this case:

a) Give STOP order.

Wait until the speed has fallen further. Return to instruction ‘d’. Keep the engine speed low during the first few
minutes. This is in order to reduce the hull vibrations that may occur owing to ‘conflict’ between the wake and
the propeller.

Fouling and Fires in the Scavenge Air Spaces.

The principle cause of fouling is blow-by of combustion products between piston and cylinder into the
scavenge air spaces. The fouling will be greater if there is incomplete combustion of the fuel injected (smokey
exhaust).

Causes of poor combustion:


The fuel injectors are not working correctly
The fuel is at too low a temperature
Poorly adjusted injection pump timing

Operation with a temporary shortage of air during extreme variations in engine loading with the
charge air pressure dependent fuel limiter in the governor set too high
Overloading
Insufficient supply of air due to restricted engine room ventilation
Fouling of the air intake filters and diffuser on the air side of the turbocharger

Fouling of the exhaust gas boiler, the air cooler, the air flaps in the charge air receiver and of the
scavenge ports

2.1.1 Main Engine Page 13 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Causes of blow-by of combustion products:
Worn, sticking or broken piston rings
Individual cylinder lubricating quills are not working
Damage to the running surface of the cylinder liners
If one or more of these operating conditions prevail, residues, mainly consisting of incompletely burnt fuel and
cylinder lubricating oil, will accumulate at the following points:
Between piston rings and piston ring grooves
On the piston skirts
In the scavenge ports
On the bottom of the cylinder jacket (piston underside)

Causes of the fires:

The blow-by of hot combustion gases and sparks which have bypassed the piston rings between
piston and cylinder liner running surface, enter the space on the piston underside.
Any residues present can ignite.

Indications of a fire:

Sounding of the respective temperature alarms


A considerable rise in the exhaust gas temperatures of the cylinder concerned and a general rise in
charge air temperature
The turbo-charger may start surging
Fire fighting measures:
Reduce engine power
Cut out the fuel injection pump of the cylinder concerned
Increase lubrication to the respective cylinder

If a serious fire occurs shut down the engine and operate the fixed fire extinguishing system. A fire should
have died down after 5 to 15 minutes. This can be verified by checking the exhaust gas temperatures and the
temperatures of the doors to the piston bottoms. Afterwards the engine must be stopped whenever possible and
the cause of the fire established.

Checks should include:

Cylinder liner running surface, piston and piston rings, air flaps in the receiver (to be replaced if
necessary), possible leakages, piston rod gland, fuel injection nozzles.
After a careful check or if necessary, repair, the engine can be put back on load with cut-in fuel
injection pump and automatic cylinder lubrication.
Should a stoppage of the engine not be feasible and the fire has died down, the fuel injection
pump can again be cut in, the load increased slowly and the cylinder lubrication brought back
again to the normal output. Avoid running for hours with considerably increased cylinder
lubrication.

Preventive measures

As can be seen from the causes, good engine maintenance goes a long way to safeguarding against fires in the
scavenge air spaces. The following measures have a particularly favourable influence:
Use of correctly spraying fuel injectors and keeping the air and gas passages clean.
Optimum adjustment of the fuel cams and of the fuel injection pump timing.
If running continuously at low load, check the cylinder lubricating oil feed rate and adjust if necessary.
The permanent drain of residue from the piston underside must always be checked to prevent the
accumulation of dirt, the drain cock on the collector main must be opened for a short time each day.

Prevention of crankcase explosions

The oil mist in the crankcase is inflammable over a very narrow range of mixture. Weaker or richer mixtures
do not fire. There must always be an extraneous cause to set off ignition, such as hot engine components. Only
under these circumstances and the presence of a critical mixture ratio of oil mist and air can an explosion
occur.

The engine is equipped with an oil mist detector, which constantly monitors intensity of oil mist in the
crankcase and triggers an alarm if the mist exceeds the density limit.

Measures to be taken when Oil Mist has occurred


a) Do not stand near crankcase doors, relief valves or corridors near doors to the engine room casing.

b) Reduce speed to slow-down level, if not already carried out automatically. Ask the bridge for
permission to stop.
c) When the engine STOP order is received, stop the engine. Close the fuel oil supply.

d) Switch-off the auxiliary blowers.

e) Open the skylight(s) and/or ‘stores hatch’.

f) Leave the engine room.

g) Lock the casing doors and keep away from them.

h) Prepare the fire-fighting equipment.


i) Do not open the crankcase until at least 20 minutes after stopping the engine. When opening up,
keep clear of possible spurts of flame. Do not use naked lights and do not smoke.
j) Stop the lubricating oil pump. Take off/open all the lower most doors on one side of the
crankcase. Cut off the starting air, and engage the turning gear.
k) Locate the ‘hot spot’. Feel over by hand all the sliding surfaces (bearings, thrust bearing, piston
rods, stuffing boxes, crossheads, telescopic pipes, chains, vibration dampers, moment
compensators, etc.). Look for squeezed-out bearing metal and discolouration caused by heat
(blistered paint, burnt oil, oxidised steel). Keep possible bearing metal found at bottom of oil tray
for later analysis. Prevent further ‘hot spots’ by preferably making a permanent repair. Ensure that
the respective sliding surfaces are in good condition. Take special care to check that the
circulating oil supply is in order.
l) Start the circulating oil pump and turn the engine by means of the turning gear. Check the oil flow

2.1.1 Main Engine Page 15 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


from all bearings, spray pipes and spray nozzles in the crankcase, chaincase and thrust bearing.
Check for possible leakages from pistons or piston rods.
m) Start the engine and after running for about 30 minutes stop and feel over. check the sliding
surfaces which caused the overheating and look for oil mist. There is a possibility that the oil mist
is due to ‘atomization’ of the circulating oil, caused by a jet of air/gas, e.g. by combination of the
following: Stuffing box leakages (not air tight), blow-by through a cracked piston crown or piston
rod (with direct connection to crankcase via the cooling oil outlet pipe). An oil mist could also
develop as a result of heat from a scavenge fire being transmitted down the piston rod or via the
stuffing box. Hot air jets or flames may have passed through the stuffing box into the crankcase.

2.1.2 Main Engine Manoeuvring Control

Maker: Lyngso Marine


Type: 2100

The main engine manoeuvring control system can be divided into two parts:

The DMS 2100 bridge manoeuvring system


The DPS 2100 engine safety system

DMS 2100 Bridge Manoeuvring System

The DMS system is designed to control the ship’s engine directly from the bridge. Automatic operation is also
possible from the ECR. The normal operating condition of the DMS is with the lever of the bridge telegraph
unit but the ECR position may be used for additional monitoring/control etc. DMS controls the following
functions:
Starting, stopping and reversing the propulsion plant
Acceleration and deceleration of main engine speed
Engine speed sensing
Quick progress through critical speed ranges
Monitoring manoeuvring sequences
Self monitoring
Control of auxiliary systems
Selection of control and operation modes
Automatic limitations

The DMS system is serial connected to both the DPS engine safety system and the UMS/UCS alarm,
monitoring and control system. The requested orders from the telegraph system are internally processed and
routed as a set speed value to the electronic governor (EGS 2000).

The hardware consists of 4 main groups:


Bridge and ECR operating panels
ECR Indication Panel
Propulsion control cabinet (PCC)
Electronic governor (EGS 2000)

Bridge and ECR DMS Operating Panels

The operating panels enable communication with the the DMS system. The display is able to show operating
state information. All nominal and actual values, operating data and list contents can be read and adjustments
made to the operating state. Any faults or alarms within the system are shown and accompanied by a warning
buzzer.

The following table shows the facilities and operations available from the bridge and ECR operating panels.

Main Engine Indication panel

The indication panel in the ECR consists of warning lights, push buttons and a manual/auto selector switch.
The lights indicate control modes, engine direction, turning gear position, engine direction and start
valve/air/blocking status. There are also illuminated pushbuttons for control of the auxiliary blowers.

The auxiliary blower stop/start facility is only available when the main engine control is in manual. A warning
light is fitted to indicate when the auxiliary blowers are not in automatic mode, if the blowers are OFF, main
engine start is not possible. The manual/auto selector switch controls the operating mode of the blowers.

The indication light START VALVE IN SERVICE means that starting the main engine is now possible. There
is also a warning light and alarm for engine direction. If the engine direction is opposite to the ordered
direction in manual and local modes, this alarm is activated.

There is a pushbutton for the main engine slow turn facility. Activation of this pushbutton carries out the slow
turning procedure.

The pushbutton CANCEL LIMITER cancels Woodward scavenging air limitation (manual control of the
Woodward governor only). This would provide a faster run up time for the main engine in case of emergency,
therefore this button is protected by a cover to guard against accidental operation.

The pushbutton marked SUPPLY indicates the status of the supply voltage and also functions as a lamp test
facility.

Propulsion control cabinet (PCC)

The propulsion control cabinet has no user accessible functions. These cabinets house the electronic modules
that make up the system. These include the interface extension modules, central memory, speed relay module,
input/output and control modules, relays and interconnections for the serial bus which links the various
systems. The EGS2000 electronic governor directly connects to the speed relay module, the DZM 401, which
is the central module in the DMS system containing the process control software.

The electronic governor system (EGS2000)

The electronic governor system consists of two main parts:


a) The electronic governor
b) The electrical actuator

The electronic components are housed in the governor cabinet in the ECR. It is connected to the propulsion
control cabinet where the DMS dictates the RPM setpoint. The governor sends the electronic signal to the
electrical actuator which moves the fuel rack accordingly.

Control and operating modes

There are different operating modes to operate the propulsion plant:


Automatic control from the bridge
Manual control from the ECR
Manual control from the local control station (emergency control)
Automatic control from the ECR

2.1.2 Main Engine Manoeuvring Control Page 3 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


The operating modes are changed from:
The local control station: NORMAL or REMOTE
The ECR: ECR-MANUAL or BRIDGE-AUTO or ECR-AUTO
The DMS only has control when in BRIDGE-AUTO mode.

Change of control modes

The local control station is the operating station with the highest priority.

Changeover from LOCAL to REMOTE is carried out by means of a manually operated pneumatic valve at the
main engine local control position.

Changeover from MANUAL REMOTE to AUTOMATIC is normally carried from the ECR console. Pressure
switches in the main engine pneumatic system provide feedback of the control mode status.

The control mode changes immediately on operation of the selector switch. The selected operating station
cannot ignore its selection. Any change in control mode is shown on the bridge and ECR panels which will
alarm at any change.

The change from MANUAL ECR to BRIDGE CONTROL can be initiated from either location. The
BRIDGE CONTROL button has to be pressed at the bridge or ECR control panels. The yellow LEDs in the
bridge control buttons, at the bridge and ECR, will flash and an alarm will sound at the control panels.

The request is then acknowledged by pressing the bridge control button:


At the bridge panel, if the request came from the ECR
At the ECR panel, if the request came from the bridge

Pressing the bridge control button again before an acknowledgement cancels the request. Following a
successful acknowledgement the LEDs now flash green in colour.

The manually operated MANUAL to AUTOMATIC BRIDGE valve in the ECR is now switched to the bridge
and the flashing green LEDs turn to a steady green light. The display text shows AUTOMATIC BRIDGE.

If a changeover is requested without prior request, the bridge control button LEDs flash yellow turning steady
green when acknowledged.

The main engine is generally operated by the engine order telegraph unit on the bridge central console. If
either bridge wing is selected for control, the wing controller remotely moves the central controller by a
Selsyn ‘electric shaft’ arrangement. This central controller sends the signal to the DMS for processing.

Change of control mode restrictions

Any DMS equipment malfunction which affects any control mode changeover will result in the alarm
CONTROL SELECT. FAULT and a change will not be accepted.

If the main engine is stopped but the telegraph/control lever is not in the stop position, the text display shows
the request message PUT BRIDGE TELEG. TO STOP. No control mode changes are possible until this
request is fulfilled.

If the main engine is running but the telegraph/control lever is put in the opposite direction, the text display
shows the request message BRIDGE TELEG. WRONG WAY. The lever must be moved to stop or TO the
correct direction. No control mode changes are possible until this request is fulfilled.

Draft Issue 1 2.1.2 Main Engine Manoeuvring Control Page 4


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Before changing over control modes the ECR and bridge control levers must be matched or a rough change of
engine speed will occur. The set points must be the same value, ie: a LEVER MATCH. When a lever match is
completed, the the changeover from AUTOMATIC BRIDGE to MANUAL ECR is carried out with the manual
two position valve in the ECR.

Emergency control

The selection of EMERGENCY CONTROL is always done directly without any previous request. The change
over from REMOTE to LOCAL is by means of a manually operated pneumatic valve at the engine. The valve
is installed at the main engine local control station.

The selection of EMERGENCY CONTROL switches off the previous selected control mode AUTOMATIC
BRIDGE and MANUAL ECR respectively because of the two-position valve in the ECR.

There are two different methods of indication and acknowledgement following the changeover to
EMERGENCY CONTROL :

Change-over from Automatic Bridge to Emergency Control

The LEDs set within the EMERG. CTRL. buttons in the bridge and ECR panels flash yellow to indicate the
change of control mode. Additionally the change of control mode is audibly signalled at the bridge panel. The
display shows the text EMERG. CONTROL.

To acknowledge the selection of emergency control, the button EMERG. CTRL. on the bridge panel has to be
pressed. Following the acknowledgement, the LEDs implemented in the buttons EMERG. CTRL in both
panels turn to steady green to indicate the new control mode.

Changeover from Manual ECR to Emergency Control

The LED set within the EMERG. CTRL. button in the bridge panel turns to steady green to indicate the new
control mode. The LED within the EMERG. CTRL. button in the ECR panel flashes yellow to indicate the
change of control mode. Additionally, the change of control mode is audibly signalled at the ECR panel. The
display in both panels show the text EMERG. CONTROL .

To acknowledge the selection of emergency control, the button EMERG. CTRL. on the ECR panel has to be
pressed. Following the acknowledgement, the LED in the button EMERG. CTRL in the ECR panel turns to
steady green to indicate the new control mode.

Operating Modes

The DMS has 3 different operating modes. Selection is from the bridge operating panel:

Sea Mode

The engine is able to accelerate through all speed ranges up to the end of the upper sea range.

Manoeuvring Mode

The engine is only able to accelerate through all speed ranges up to the end of the upper manoeuvring
range, if the lever is set to full ahead.

Modes under CANCEL LIMITS operation

All limits are overridden, acceleration and deceleration set points are changed to faster values.
CANCEL LIMITS should only be used for emergency manoeuvring.

2.1.2 Main Engine Manoeuvring Control Page 5 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Ranges

Acceleration and deceleration ramps are preset into the DMS to ensure the most efficient operation of the
main engine. The total range between minimum and rated range is divided into four individual ranges:
a) Lower manoeuvring range approx. 25 - 65% load 40 - 60 seconds
b) Upper manoeuvring range approx. 65 - 75% load 60 seconds
c) Lower sea range approx. 75 - 90% load 10 minutes
d) Upper sea range approx. 90 - 100% load 30 - 60 minutes
The astern speed has only one range which has an adjustable upper limit.
More detailed information is available in the manufacturer’s DMS2100 user manual.

Barred Ranges

Due to certain physical principles, rotary oscillation occurs at specific speeds inside the main engine’s range.
DMS takes these speeds into account and if selected, will automatically convert the request to the nearest
‘safe’ position.

(Note !: The speed setpoint is not adjustable within a barred range.)

Limitations

The DPS system, under certain fault conditions, may request a slow down of the main engine. This is achieved
via the serial interface to the DMS system. The limitation will remain active until manually reset.

In bad weather conditions, if the main engine speed reaches 105% three times in less than two minutes, the
speed setpoint will be limited to 85%. The limitation will remain active until manually reset.

There is also a manual limitation function available only from the ECR panel. The pushbutton RPM LIMIT
will give access to a menu where the measuring value (the speed), can be adjusted.

System supervision and fault indication

The total hardware of the DMS, as well as the peripheral components, are constantly monitored by the DMS,
and because of this, it is possible to avoid dangerous situations and damage to the main engine. The
telegraphs, speed sensing circuits, electronic governor, solenoid valves, internal analogue/digital and
digital/analogue converters and the computer cycle (watch dog) are all monitored.

If a fault becomes apparent it will be sensed by the DMS, the result of this is an audible and optical alarm
indication. They are indicated at the operating panels on the Bridge and ECR. The alarms are also routed as
individual alarms via the serial interface or as common alarms via contact interface to the alarm, monitoring
and control system (UMS/UCS).

An optical alarm is always indicated at the Bridge and in the ECR. An audible alarm is only indicated at the
station in control. Optical acknowledgement can be done only from the ECR.

According to the rules of the classification societies, the system has, in the case of a control system fault, to
maintain (freeze) the momentary operating condition. Therefore, in a frozen condition, the operator has to
transfer control mode to a MANUAL mode. This is the only mode in which a reset can be performed.

The only exception to this is in the case of a bridge or ECR telegraph potentiometer fault, whereby the system
will change over from the faulty station to the functional station and remain in automatic mode at that station.

System parameters and Passwords

On pressing the S3 key, the parameter list is displayed. By operating the cursor keys the number of the
parameter required can be raised or lowered. The parameters to be displayed can also be accessed by numerical
setting of the number by first entering ‘0’. Pressing ENTER then displays the required parameter.

To release a selected parameter for resetting, the EDIT key must be pressed and then,s according to it’s
security level, the adjustment is released or the password is requested.

Parameters are blocked for unauthorised personnel. with three password levels protecting the system:
The service password
The expert password
The User password

The SERVICE PASSWORD is required for changing critical parameter values such as engine speed. The
service password releases the parameters for the USER and EXPERT passwords, as such this password should
only be known by the commissioning personnel.

The EXPERT PASSWORD is required for changing critical parameter values. The expert password releases
the parameters to the USER password.

The USER PASSWORD is required to change non-critical parameter values

To complete the password input, the password must be followed up with ENTER. Passwords must always be
four digits.

After accessing the required parameter by password entry, the EDIT key must be pressed again. There are two
ways to change values:

a) By operating the up/down cursor keys the value of the parameter can be increased or decreased.
b) By numerical setting of the value by first entering ‘0’.

Pressing ENTER completes the operation.

CAUTION !

As the program uses RAM for its set values, the entered value takes immediate effect. Therefore changes
should only be made on a stopped engine or if on a running engine, the values should be made step by
step in small increments to avoid greatly affecting the running of the engine.

PARAMETER CHANGES MAY ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY AUTHORISED PERSONNEL

Simulation mode

This mode is used to test signals to the start valve, reversing valve, start air distributor and electronic governor.
The overspeed may also be tested using this facility.

The following conditions have to be fulfiled for the selection of simulation mode
Engine at standstill
Main start valve blocked
Start air distributor blocked
Control mode in AUTOMATIC BRIDGE
Access is by activation of the menu key then S4, followed by S1 for simulation mode.

To simulate the engine running the telegraph must be moved ahead or astern. The simulated speed,
acceleration and deceleration correspond to the normal orders. Ass the engine is not actually running several
other alarms will appear such as start failure, reversing failure etc.

Main Engine Automatic Start Sequence


Automatic mode selected, control lever in stop position
System checks: no start interlocks, no active relevant alarms, auxiliary blowers in auto, voltage on
Control lever moves to ahead direction, speed value initiated
Reverse sequence activated (see section: reversing of the main engine), ahead valve energised
If more than 30 minutes since last start, DMS initiates a slow turn, if not DMS activates start
On completion of slow turn all injection pumps moved to ahead or astern position, engine starts
Governor stop signal is de-energised as start valve energises. Stop valve remains energised
On reaching ignition speed the stop and start valves are de-energised, Fuel injected
Main air start valve de-energised one second after fuel injection, engine accelerates to required speed

If the engine fails to start or complete a slow turn the control lever must be moved back to zero to reset the
system before another start attempt is made.

(Note ! The reversing function always takes place prior to start regardless of ordered direction.)

The following conditions will cause a start interlock to block the starting of the main engine:
Control air pressure low
Line break of valves
Speed sensing system fault
Emergency stop/shutdown condition
Loss of automatic, manual or sensor supply
Blocked actuator
Electronic governor fault
Serial interface to governor lost
Start air pressure low

Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Start valve closed/not open
Start air distributor blocked
Input start blocked (auxiliary blowers)
Turning gear engaged
Emergency control is engaged

‘Control air pressure low’ and ‘Start air pressure low’ may be overridden by operation of the CANCEL
LIMITS pushbutton. ‘Start air pressure low’ can only be overridden when in bridge automatic mode.

A start interlock is alarmed and indicated on the bridge and ECR operating panels.

Three start attempts are possible. If a failure occurs during the starting sequence the following measures are
activated:

If no engine rotation is sensed within the maximum starting time, the start air valve is de-
energised and the START FAILURE alarm is activated.

If the engine starts to crank but does not reach ignition speed or falls below the ignition speed,the
REPEATED START alarm is activated. If a further two starts also fail then the alarm START
FAILURE is activated.

If the engine exceeds ignition speed but stops within 20 seconds a further start takes place,up to a
maximum of 3 attempts. If the engine stops outside this 20 second time, the alarm ENGINE
STOPPED is activated.

At the second and third start attempts, or in the case of a CANCEL LIMITS start operation, the ignition speed
is increased to enable a longer duration of applied starting air. The DMS also cancels the governor’s normal
start fuel limitations during these attempts.

Slow Turning

The slow turning is carried out automatically when the engine has been stood still for 30 minutes or more.
When a slow turn is requested, the engine must then complete one and a half turns within 30 seconds.

The DMS system counts the number of flywheel teeth passing the speed sensors to determine the number of
revolutions achieved during this time. If the engine fails to achieve this, the ‘slow turn failure’ alarm is
activated. In this case the control lever must be reset to zero and another start attempt made.

The slow turn procedure may be omitted, if a quick start is required, by pressing the CANCEL LIMITS button
on the operating panel.

Reversing of the Main Engine

Depending on the requested direction of the main engine and also before carrying out a slow turn or engine
start, the DMS controls the positioning of the reversing mechanism for the start air distributor as well as the
fuel pumps by energising the respective directional solenoid valve (even if they are still in the correct direction
from previous manoeuvre).

One symmetrical cam for each fuel pump is mounted on the camshaft. Selection of injection point, ahead or
astern, is achieved by moving the fuel pump roller guide relative to the cam axis by a pneumatic cylinder.

2.1.2 Main Engine Manoeuvring Control Page 9 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Each fuel pump has its own reversing mechanism including a pneumatic cylinder, however the power of the
cylinder is not powerful enough to reverse the roller guides at standstill, they can only support the movement.
The roller guides will change their position during the start sequence because of the camshaft rotation, so it
follows the engine has to be started without respect to the reversing mechanism position.

The roller guides mechanically maintain their position and the solenoid valves are de-energised at the end of
the start settling time.

Restarting an Engine Already Turning in the Correct Direction

If the engine is already turning in the required direction, due to drag acting on the propeller, the speed is above
ignition speed and the control lever is moved in that direction, DMS will de-energise the stop valve and the
governor stop signal. This will enable the fuel supply to the engine.

If the drag effect is too low and the engine speed is below ignition speed and the control lever is moved in that
direction, DMS will initiate a normal automatic start.

Restarting an Engine Turning in the Wrong Direction

If a start is requested in the opposite direction to that which the engine is already turning, a normal stop is
carried out by energising the stop valve. After passing through the ‘Brake air level’ the reversing sequence is
initiated. The engine is retarded automatically and subsequently restarted in the reverse direction.

Stopping the main Engine

A normal stop comprises of moving the control lever to zero. This will cause the DMS to energise the stop
solenoid valve (a pneumatic stop signal to the fuel pump puncture valves) and set the engine governor to stop.

There are also a number of ‘hard stops’. These are hard wired emergency stop pushbuttons which stop the
engine directly via the DPS engine safety system. The DMS via serial interface also stops the engine using the
DMS normal stop methods. After an emergency stop the engine can only be restarted by moving the main
control lever to the stop position in order to reset the system.

Telegraph Order Printer TOP2100

The TOP2100 is a subsystem of the DMS system. Internal calculations from the DMS and the DPS systems
are transmitted to the printer module and output to the telegraph order printer.

There are parameters to control the information output to the printer within DMS and a printer test facility in
the MAINTENANCE menu within DMS

The following items are recorded from the DMS:


Date and time
Bridge, ECR and emergency telegraph orders
Engine speed
Control mode
Subtelegraph orders
Limitations
Cancel limits/cancel limits (wings)
RPM load program

DPS 2100 Engine Safety System

The DPS 2100 operates in parallel with the DMS system but monitors, controls and protects the main engine
independently from the DMS system.

The system protects the engine from inadmissible operating states, in that an alarm is not created until one of
its limits is exceeded. All limits are set to values that in no way endanger the engine. Any limits exceeded are
optically and audibly indicated in the ECR. Specific limits such as low lub oil pressure, high H.T. water
temperature are additionally protected by shutdown and slowdown facilities.

The system consists of an SEM interface extension module, speed relay DZM module (DPS limit values, delay
times and actions/consequences are stored in software within the DZM module), input/output modules (all
mounted within the propulsion control cabinets) and illuminated emergency stops mounted on bridge wings,
bridge, ECR and engine local control station.

The emergency stops are wired with two circuits. One is wired directly to the stop solenoid on the engine. The
other is wired to the electronic modules as an input and the stop solenoid as an output. This provides the
correct alarms and printout etc. The location of the emergency stop activated will also be displayed.

The operator’s panel is mounted in the ECR

Operator panel functions


Alarm light: Illuminated if a set value is exceeded.
Fault light: Illuminated if an internal hardware or interface failure occurs.

Dimmer: Adjust display brightness.
Edit, Esc, Ent.: For changing parameters.
Arrow keys: Moving cursor around display positions.
Menu: Displays 3 sub menus accessed by the ‘S’ function keys.
Slowd. active: Indicates activation of automatic slowdown.
Slowd. cancel: Pressing key cancels slowdown signal, pressing again reactivates slowdown.
Slowd. reset: Resets system when slowdown condition removed, speed returns to normal.
Shutd. active: Indicates an automatic shutdown signal activated.
Shutd. cancel: Cancels shutdown signal, until key pressed again.
The DPS system receives its engine speed signal from two proximity switches mounted close to the flywheel.
These switches count the flywheel teeth passing by and input the signal to the DZM module. This module
calculates the engine speed for indication and protection functions etc. The two sensors enable cross-
monitoring, plausibility and redundancy in case of breakdown.

The DPS provides the following functions:


Slowdown
Shutdown
Slowdown with subsequent shutdown

The inputs on the central module DZM 401/402 for the speed measurement from the proximity switches are
fixed. Also the outputs for speed indication and emergency stop on overspeed are also sfixed. The inputs on
the IOM 402 modules are freely configurable for slowdown and shutdown via parameters. On occurance of a
Slowdown or a Shutdown criterion, the particular function becomes active, taking the parameter setting for the
input into account.

Operation and indication are effected via the Operating Panel in the ECR with illuminated pushbuttons and
LED displays in the engine room. The optical alarms as well as system conditions are simultaneously
displayed at all places of indication (bridge, ECR, engine room ). The audible alarms are given only at the
place of indication from which the ship is operated (e.g. operation from the bridge). This also applies to the
acknowledgement of alarm signals as well as to control functions ‘Cancel’ and ‘Reset’.

Automatic Slowdown

The automatic slowdown serves to relieve stress on the engine by reducing speed .

Delayed Slowdown

If a slowdown criterion occurs then a pre-alarm is activated immediately. On activation, the optical and
audible alarms sound and the delay time starts to count down to actual slowdown. This countdown time and
the cause of the slowdown (eg: cam shaft lub oil press. low) are displayed on the operating panel. The delay
time is adjustable via parameters. After expiry of the slowdown time the slowdown signal is transmitted to the
DMS system.

If the fault, which activated the slowdown, clears during the countdown time, the slowdown is cancelled.

Draft Issue 1 2.1.2 Main Engine Manoeuvring Control Page 12


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


In the case of an emergency, the Slowdown can be overridden by activation of the SLOWD. CANCEL button.
Specific faults can exclude or include the slowdown cancel facility (available via parameters).

On clearing the fault which caused the slowdown, the system can be reset by moving the telegraph lever below
the slowdown speed and activating the SLOWD. RESET button.

Automatic Shutdown

In case of an automatic shutdown the engine is stopped immediately. The signal acts directly on the shutdown
system of the main engine.

Delayed Shutdown

If a shutdown criterion occurs a pre-alarm is activated. On activation the optical and audible alarms sound and
the delay time starts to count down to actual shutdown. This countdown time and the cause of the shutdown
(eg: Lub oil pressure low) are displayed on the operating panels.The delay time for the pre-alarm can be
adjusted via parameters.

The horn signal is reset on the Operating Panel by actuating the stop horn key, optical acknowledgement is
possible in the alarm list only. By actuating the key for alarm acknowledgement the alarm is optically
acknowledged and the ALARM LED changes to a steady light. After expiry of the shutdown delay time, the
shutdown process is started and optically indicated on the bridge panel, on the ECR panel and in the engine
room.

Restart of the engine is now only possible after elimination of the the fault causing the shutdown and must be
reset by moving the telegraph lever to stop and activation of the RESET SHUTDOWN button.

If the fault which activated the shutdown clears during the countdown time, the shutdown is cancelled. The
display will continue to indicate an unacknowledged alarm.

In the case of an emergency, the shutdown can be overridden by activation of the SHUTD. CANCEL button.
Specific faults can exclude or include the shutdown cancel facility (available via parameters). If this button is
activated after the engine has stopped, a shutdown reset is necessary. If the button is activated during the
countdown time the engine will keep running.

On clearing the fault which caused the shutdown, the system can be reset by moving the telegraph lever to
STOP and activating the SHUTD. RESET button. This also applies to an emergency stop push button activated
shutdown.

Automatic slowdown followed by shutdown

The functional sequences for a slowdown followed by a shutdown are practically identical to the procedures
described above (selection and adjustment available through parameters). The only difference being that one
follows another.

Alarm Indication and acknowledgement

The alarms are divided into two groups:


Engine faults - leading to a slowdown or shutdown
System faults - monitoring equipment/module failure, line breaks etc

2.1.2 Main Engine Manoeuvring Control Page 13 Draft Issue 1

Parameters, Suppressions and Operating Values

To display parameters, suppressions and operating values , first press the MENU key.

This will indicate a sub menu, selection is by keys S1 to S3:


S1: This key opens a list of inputs to the DPS and allows each one to be switched on or off
S2: This key displays actual operating values
S3: This key opens the parameter list, as recorded in the central DZM module, for display or changes

To leave a menu or sub menu the ESC key must be pressed.

Adjustment of System parameters and Passwords

On pressing the S3 key, the parameter list is displayed. By operating the cursor keys the number of the
parameter required can be increased or decreased. The parameters to be displayed can also be accessed by
numerical setting of the number by first entering ‘0’. Pressing ENTER then displays the required parameter.

To release a selected parameter for resetting the EDIT key must be pressed and then according to its security
level, the adjustment is released or the password is requested.

Parameters are blocked for unauthorised personnel by principle. Three password levels protect the system. The
parameters for the EXPERT PASSWORD and USER PASSWORD are hidden, the display showing the
immediate parameters above or below.

The SERVICE PASSWORD is required for changing critical parameter values such as engine speed. The
service password releases the parameters for the USER and EXPERT passwords. This password should only
be known by the commissioning personnel.

The EXPERT PASSWORD is required for changing critical parameter values. The expert password releases
the parameters to the USER password.

Draft Issue 1 2.1.2 Main Engine Manoeuvring Control Page 14


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


The USER PASSWORD is required to change non-critical parameter values

To complete the password input the password must be followed up with ENTER. Passwords must always be
four digits.

After accessing the required parameter, after password entry, the EDIT key must be pressed again. Tshere are
two ways to change the actual values:

a) By operating the up/down cursor keys the value of the parameter can be increased or decreased.

b) By numerical setting of the value by first entering ‘0’.

Pressing ENTER completes the operation.

As the old stored parameter value is continuously on display during this operation, the operator is kept aware
of the adjustment/change required

Pressing ESC completes the parameter adjustment session. All new parameters are now stored in the system
EEPROM. If the session is not terminated with the ESC key, the system will do this automatically after a timed
period.

Suppressions

The operator has the option to suppress shutdown and slowdown activation by individual sensor inputs, except
emergency stop pushbuttons, with this facility.

If suppressed however, the input will still activate an alarm at the operating panel.

The suppression list is available after pressing the MENU key followed by the S1 key. By pressing the
up/down cursor keys the operator can view the sensor inputs one after another.

When the required sensor appears on line two of the display, the operator can suppress the slowdown or
shutdown activation by pressing the S1 key. Alternatively, the slowdown or shutdown activation can be re-
enabled by pressing the S2 key. These suppressed or enabled states are stored in the system EEPROM. There is
a suppression count table shown in the display showing the amount of sensors currently suppressed.

Operating Values

The operating value list is available after pressing the MENU key followed by the S2 key. By pressing the
up/down cursor keys the operator can view the inputs one after another.

For example the overspeed setting 82.9 RPM will be shown here.

Speed indication

As well as the speed indication at the ECR operating panel the system provides two +/- 10V analogue outputs
for external speed indication.

One is connected to the DPS and feeds three outputs providing speed indication at various points around the
ship. If this source fails, the watchdog within the DPS will switch the three outputs to the signal available from
the DMS, fed by the other signal. This system provides a high degree of redundancy and availability. Negative
values at the displays indicate astern running.

EGS2000 Electronic Governor

The electronic governor is serial connected to the DMS system and also to the DPS system. The basic task of
the EGS system is to regulate the speed of the main engine by translating the speed signal given by the
operator into movement of the engine fuel rack.

The EGS2000 system consists of the following components:

Power unit: Contains the electronic units to convert speed signals to actual movement
and the Lyngso Marine ‘STELLA GAMMA’ monitoring computer.

Control unit: Located in the ECR console, the operator interface.

Actuator: The electro-mechanical device to convert demand signals to fuel rack


movement.

Tacho sensor The proximity switches sensing flywheel speed.

Scavenging air sensor: A sensor to monitor the air pressure and therefore engine output power.
This allows the system to restrict power to avoid low air to fuel ratios.

Draft Issue 1 2.1.2 Main Engine Manoeuvring Control Page 16


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


The governor actuator consists of the actuator position control loop and the actuator itself. The power for the
actuator motor comes from a power supply unit within the power unit cabinet. The actuator consists of a motor
and gearbox with a brake, tacho-generator and position transmitter. It uses very large mechanical forces and
the brake is a safety feature. If the supply fails, the brake is engaged immediately, blocking the actuator in its
position and activating an alarm.

Using the position transmitter and the tacho generator, the actuator can move quickly and precisely to the
required position, without overshoot. The actuator has its own limit switches which will stop the actuator at its
extreme limits regardless of any further signals.

The scavenge air limit function ensures the correct amount of fuel is provided according to the amount of
scavenge air available. This is especially important during acceleration when the slow turbocharger speed
means there is not normally enough air available to burn all the injected fuel. This may lead to poor
combustion and pollution. Restricting the fuel index during these times alleviates this problem.

When a start or stop order is given to the DPS system the governor controls the index. For a start request the
governor moves the actuator to a pre-determined position to ensure the correct ratios for run up. On receiving a
shutdown signal the EGS2000 immediately moves the actuator to the zero position.

The governor computer contains load curves/ramps for the correct loading of the main engine. These curves
are kept in the engine limits curve software module within the Gamma computer.

The EGS2000 is completely self-monitoring and will activate external alarms via the UCS/UMS system for all
internal and external equipment failures. The system even includes a monitor within the EGS2000 to monitor
the operation of the computer hardware.

Modes of Operation

The EGS2000 has four modes of normal operation:


Auto select: Auto selects RPM mode or power mode depending on running conditions
RPM mode: Keeps RPM constant
Power mode: Keeps power constant
Index mode: Fixed position of fuel rack

Auto select leaves the choice of operation to the computer. This mode is dependent on prevailing weather
conditions. Rough weather will normally be POWER mode and calm weather will normally be RPM mode.

The RPM mode is a fast mode of operation which will adjust the fuel rack to keep the engine at constant rpm.
Optimal fuel consumption and wear of the mechanism are given low priority in this mode.

The POWER mode controls fuel rack movement in response to shaft speed variations, so the power delivered
remains constant. This mode minimises fluctuations in thermal loading and is the most fuel efficient mode.
Full protection of the engine is offered and shaft speed will only vary up to preset limits.

INDEX mode maintains the fuel rack at a distinct position providing speed variations are within wide preset
limits. This mode is often used for engine measurements that require a fixed fuel rack position. This mode
cannot be automatically selected by the computer.

The EGS2000 also contains an automatic overload protection system (OPS). This uses torque measurements
from a torque measuring device to provide a limit to the rpm setpoint if a high torque reading is detected.
This facility is manually cancellable.

The EGS2000 requires no periodical maintenance. The motor and gearbox have no serviceable items and are
built to a high standard that should last the lifetime of the vessel. However, there are a number of checks that
should be carried out two to three times a year.

They involve checking the tightness and cleanliness of all the links, connections and securing devices etc in
the complete system. Any backlash in the actuator and fuel pump linkages should be adjusted to keep the
backlash below 0.3mm.

During these checks the engine should be stopped with thes start blocked.

Further, more in depth details are available from the manufacturers manual.

2.1.3. Power Train

Shafting

The propellor is of a four bladed conventional design with an overall diameter of 9800mm.

The propellor shaft consists of two shafts. The intermediate shaft and the main propellor shaft which is mainly
within the stern tube.

The main shaft weighs 37.5 tonnes and has an overall diameter of 770mm with a 1/20 taper for locking the
propellor boss. The intermediate shaft weighs 26.65 tonnes and has an overall diameter of 630mm.

The propeller shaft transmits the axial thrust from the propeller to the ship by means of the thrust bearing
located in the aftermost part of the engine bedplate.The crankshaft is provided with a thrust collar to transmit
the thrust to a number of segments mounted in a thrust shoe on either side of the thrust collar. The thrust shoes
rest on surfaces in the thrust bearing housing which is held in place by crossbars. The segments have white
metal cast on the wearing faces.

The thrust bearing is lubricated from the pressure lubrication system of the engine and is equipped with control
and alarm monitoring equipment.

There is one intermediate shaft pedestal bearing which is of the cast iron lined type with white metal and
forced lubrication.

The shaft and engine are fitted with turning gear. The driving motor and gearbox are fixed to the engine
bedplate and drive a geared wheel which can be engaged, using a handwheel, with the engine’s flywheel.

The shaft is fitted with an earthing device located aft of the intermediate shaft bearing. This earthing device is
described in detail in section 2.13.8. The shaft is also fitted with torque measuring equipment mounted
immediately forward of the intermediate shaft bearing.

Stern Tube

The stern tube is of a conventional design with its own lubricating oil system consisting of an air cooled
lubricating oil cooler, filter and two circulating pumps with automatic changeover facility. This system is
described in detail in section 2.8.2.

Seal System

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


The aft seal unit consists of four ‘Viton’ sealing rings and a single synthetic rubber ‘netstopper’ ring. There is
a net protector and cutter/rope guard immediately aft of the aft seal. There is also a single synthetic rubber
seal between the seal liner and the propellor shaft.

The aft seal is fitted with a wear down gauge accessible via slot holes in the aft seal cover. The aft seal also
has eight sets of sacrificial anodes fitted. These anodes are fitted to the heads of the bolts securing the
propellor boss to the aft seal liner. The anodes must be inspected and replaced, if necessary, every dry
dock/refit. The anodes can be inspected via the slot holes for the weardown gauge openings.

The forward seal consists of two ‘Viton’ sealing rings.

The stern tube is served with oil from the high and low aft stern tube seal tanks which are fitted with high and
low oil level alarm float switches. The forward and aft seals are also fitted with temperature monitoring
sensors. The oil system is also fitted with a flow monitor which will raise an alarm in the case of non-flow of
circulating oil.

2.2 Boilers and Steam Systems

2.2.1 General Description

The steam generating plant consists of one auxiliary boiler and one exhaust gas economiser. The steam
demand of the plant in port is served by the boiler. At sea, steam demand is met by circulating boiler water
from the boiler, through the exhaust gas economiser, by one of the boiler water circulating pumps. The boiler
acts as a receiver for the steam generated by the economiser. The economiser is arranged in the funnel to take
waste heat from the main engine exhaust. The boiler may be required at sea in low temperature areas and when
operating under reduced power operation of the main engine, such as during manoeuvring or slow steaming on
passage. Cargo and tank cleaning operations at sea will also require the boiler to supplement the steam supply.

Description

General Construction

The boiler is of a two drum type construction, with one steam drum and one water drum and mainly consists
of the boiler proper, boiler casing, fuel firing equipment, mountings, fittings and other accessories.

The boiler structure is supported with water drum and water wall lower headers as a supporting basis. The
whole boiler construction is designed so as to be able to withstand the rolling and pitching of the ship. Careful
consideration is also given to the movement by thermal expansion of the boiler.

Combustion gas flows to the boiler in a return flow path and where necessary, manholes and peepholes are
provided for easy access and inspection.

Furnace

Closely spaced water wall tubes of 76.2mm outside diameter, are provided in the furnace side, roof (except for
burner opening), rear, and front wall, in order to increase the heat absorption in the furnace and to make it
strong enough to withstand vibration etc.

Situated at the top and bottom of the front and rear walls are water wall headers. Water enters the bottom
headers and rises to the top headers. As the water rises, it is heated to saturation temperature and begins
evaporating. This water-steam mixture is passed to the steam drum via the top headers.

One end of each top header is connected to the steam drum and one end of each bottom header is connected to
the water drum. The roof, side and bottom water wall tubes are directly connected to the water and steam
drums with no headers provided. The boiler is downward fired from the roof using a steam assisted pressure
jet burner.

Boiler Casing

The furnace of the boiler is made completely gas tight by the adoption of welded water wall construction. The
welded water wall construction is also adopted in the front and rear walls of the rear evaporating tube section
where tubes are exposed to the combustion gas.

Insulation is provided on the outer surface of the furnace water walls.

Insulation is applied to the outer surface of the water walls. The outermost surface of the furnace is covered
with a galvanised steel casing except for the furnace roof and floor.

Steam Drum and Fittings

The steam and water drums are fabricated using boiler steel plate of all welded construction.

The steam drum has a multi-perforated baffle plate covering the entire steam evaporation surface to prevent
the generation of water saturated steam. A steam separator is provided to completely remove the moisture.
These can be dismantled for removal.

The steam drum also has a feedwater internal pipe, chemical feed internal pipe, surface blow off internal pipe
and water sampling pipe.

Operating Procedures

Procedure for Preparing the Boiler for Service

The following steps should be taken before attempting to flash up the boiler:

a) All foreign materials are to be removed from the internal pressure parts.

b) All gas side-heating surfaces are clean and all the refractory is in good condition.

c) The furnace bottom and the burner wind box are to be clean of oil and other debris.

d) Ensure that all personnel are clear and all manhole covers are securely tightened.

e) Inspect the safety valves and see that the gags have been removed and the easing levers are in
good condition.

f) Open the root valves for all instruments and controls connected to the boiler.

g) Open the vent valve of the steam drum.

h) Open all pressure gauge valves and check that all valves on the pressure gauge piping are open.

i) Check and close all blow-off valves and drain valves.

j) Fill the boiler until the water level appears 25 to 50 mm high in the gauge glasses. Allow for swell
in the level after firing.

k) Check the operation of gauge glasses and compare with remote reading instruments.

(Note ! Remote-reading instruments may not be accurate until steam is being generated).

Raising Pressure With No Steam Available From the Economiser


a) Set up the fuel system for diesel oil and circulate the fuel until all heavy fuel has been discharged
from the fuel lines.
b) Set burner for air atomizing, using an air pressure of 5kg/cm2 and fuel pressure of 3kg/cm2. Purge
furnace with forced draught fan for one minute with the vanes full open.
c) Reduce the windbox air pressure to between 10 and 20 mm water and close the recirculating
valve.
d) Light the burner and adjust air and fuel pressure to ensure stabilised combustion, using the
furnace observation port and smoke indicator.
e) When raising the pressure keep the burner firing for 5 minutes and out of service for 15 minutes
repeatedly at the lowest oil pressure (2.5kg/cm2) for one hour. Again repeatedly light and shut
down the burner to raise pressure as recommended, by the manufacturer. A guideline would be to
aim for 1kg/cm2 after 1.5 hours firing, 5kg/cm2 after 2 hours firing and 12 kg/cm2 after 2.5 hours
firing.
f) When the drum pressure has risen to about 2 kg/cm2, close the drum vent valve.
g) Drain and warm through all steam supply lines to the ancillary equipment before putting the
boiler on load.

2.2 Boilers and Steam Systems page 3 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


h) Supply steam to F.O. tank. When the tank is of sufficient temperature to be pumped by the F.O.
pump, supply steam to the F.O. heater and prepare to change over from D.O to F.O. firing,
circulating F.O. as before. Then continue pressure raising.
i) At working pressure, switch to automatic operation.

Raising Pressure with Steam Available from Economiser

a) Start F. D. fan, open the inlet vanes and purge the furnace.

b) Start the F.O. burning pump and circulate oil through the heater and burner manifold, open the
recirculating valve and discharge the cold heavy oil in the line. (At normal sea going condition,
the boiler F.O. system will be continually circulating heated F.O).
c) Reduce the air pressure at the windbox to between 10 and 20 mm water gauge.

d) Close the recirculating valve.

e) Light the burner and adjust air and fuel pressure to ensure stabilised combustion, using the
furnace observation port and smoke indicator.

When raising the pressure, keep the burner firing for 5 minutes and out of service for 15 minutes repeatedly at
the lowest oil pressure (2.5kg/cm2) for one hour. Again, repeatedly light and shut down the burner to raise
pressure as recommended, by the manufacturer. A guideline would be to aim for 1kg/cm2 after 1.5 hrs firing,
5kg/cm2 after 2hrs firing and 12kg/cm2 after 2.5 hours firing.

f) When the drum pressure has risen to about 2 kg/cm2, close the drum vent valve.

g) Drain and warm through all steam supply lines to the ancillary equipment before putting the
boiler on load.

Shutting Down

a) Operate the sootblowers before shutting down the boiler whenever possible.

b) Shut down the burner.


c) Continue operation of the forced draught fan for a short while after shutting down, keeping an air
pressure of 150 mm water at burner inlet and purge the furnace of combustible gases.

d) Maintain the water level visible at about 50mm in the gauge glass.

e) Open the drum vent valve before the boiler reaches atmospheric pressure.

f) Change the fuel system to diesel oil and circulate back to the tank.
(If steam is available from the economiser, the boiler F.O. system should remain in use).

g) When fuel oil has been purged, shut down the fuel system.

After the boiler has been shut down for 4 hours the forced draught fan may be used to assist cooling down, but
to avoid damage to refractory allow the boiler to cool down under natural means if possible.

CAUTION !
Do not attempt to cool down the boiler by blowing down and then by filling with cold water.

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Shutting Down in an Emergency

Water Level Low

Should the boiler trip, when the burner is in use, due to the low low alarm and with the subsequent trip of the
fuel oil supply, shut down the team stop valve, feed valve and forced draught fan after purging the furnace.
Never attempt to feed water until the boiler has cooled sufficiently.

Flame failure

In case of flame failure, close the oil inlet valve and reduce air pressure to prevent over cooling the furnace.

Purge the furnace before relighting the burner. Always use the pilot burner for ignition; never attempt to relight
the burner from the hot furnace refractory.

Putting the Boiler out of Service.

When putting a boiler out of service, the wet lay up method is preferable, as it requires less preparation and can
be quickly returned to service.

When the boiler is in the cooling down process, following shut down, inject into the drum appropriate
quantities of boiler chemicals, using the boiler chemical injection device. To ensure adequate protection of the
boiler follow the guidelines given by the chemical supplier.

When the pressure is approaching atmospheric pressure, open the steam drum air vent valve.

When the pressure is off the boiler, supply distilled water, until it issues from the vent valve, then close the
vent valve.

Put a hydrostatic pressure of 3.5 to 5 kg/cm2 on the boiler. Hold this pressure until the boiler has cooled to
ambient temperature. Bleed the boiler using the vent valve to be sure all the air is out. Maintain a hydrostatic
pressure of 2 to 3.5 kg/cm2 on the boiler.

Take a periodic boiler water sample and replenish any spent chemicals.

Before putting the boiler back into service, drain the boiler to the normal working level and return the chemical
content concentration to the normal level by blowing down.

Maintaining Boiler in Warm Condition

At sea the boiler is circulated through the waste heat economiser.

Burner Control system

This system controls the remote, manual and automatic operations of the burners in the roof of the boiler. The
unit contains a programmable sequence control, which operates the furnace purge, pilot burner and the
automatic operation of the burner piston valve. This is done by linking up with the boiler protective system and
the Automatic Combustion Control (A.C.C). In addition, it transmits the automatic adjustment commands of
combustion air quantity and fuel oil quantity to the A.C.C. for the start/stop of the burner.

In an emergency, this control system shuts off the fuel supply to the burner for the boiler protection.

Procedure for the Preparation of Boiler Control System

a) Turn on the power switches of the boiler control panel.

b) Check the action of each pilot lamp and buzzer using the test switches on the control panel.

c) Supply air to all the control devices.

d) Reset the boiler interlock alarm.

e) Check that all alarm lamps are unlit.

Selection of Operating Modes

A. Local Boiler Operation

During the initial start-up and under the INTERLOCK BY-PASS mode, the boiler is operated from this boiler
side control panel, from which can be selected the following modes.

1. Selection of Auto/Manual

The operator can select any of the following modes:

A.B.C. Man
If the controller senses an abnormal condition, then this controller sets the Automatic Burner Control (A.B.C.)
to manual mode. In addition, the F.O. and AIR controllers are set to their manual mode.

A.B.C. Auto
Burner Manual.

When in INTERLOCK BY-PASS MODE the manual mode is selected.

Burner Auto

2. Interlock By-pass Mode

F.O. temperature by-pass mode.


This mode must be selected when the F.O. heating steam is unavailable under the cold boiler start mode. In this
by-pass mode, the starting interlock for F.O. temperature low alarm is by-passed.

Flame eye by-pass mode.


This mode must be selected only for emergency use, such as when a complete failure of the flame eye has
occurred. This mode could be selected briefly for cleaning of the flame eye during service. The burner must be
monitored by the operator at all times.

2.2.2 Boiler Control Systems Page 2 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Emergency mode.
This mode must be selected when the burner sequence controller is unavailable.

B. Selection of Boiler Mode

Tanker Service Mode


This mode is used for tanker service operation. With the burner in AUTO mode, it will automatically cut-in
and cut-out at boiler drum pressures of 12kg/cm2 to 16.3kg/cm2

IGS Top-up Mode


This mode is selected for IGS operation. The burner operation is now in MAN mode, with the ACC limited to
its minimum load to maintain the oxygen content of the exhaust gas.

ECO BACK-UP Mode


Used for normal sea going operations. With the burner in AUTO mode, it will automatically cut-in and cut-out
at boiler drum pressures of 5.5kg/cm2 to 8.0kg/cm2

REPOSE Mode
Used to cancel alarms and indicators with boiler shut down.

C. Selection of IGS Operation Mode

In this mode, the burner is in continuous operation.


Sootblowing cannot be operated while in this mode. It is selected using the BOILER MODE SELECT switch,
and when operating, the minimum burner load is raised to approx. 25% of boiler max load.

D. Selection of Boiler Start Mode

One of the following start modes is selected, depending on the boiler condition.

Boiler cold start

This mode is selected to start from cold with the burner atomising steam and the F.O. heating steam not
available.

Diesel oil fuel is used along with atomising air. When the F.O.TEMP. BY-PASS switch is selected, the F.O.
low temperature alarm and trip are inhibited and the Burner control and A.C.C. operation reverts to manual.

Boiler hot start mode

This mode is selected to start the boiler with the burner using atomising steam and H.F.O.

If the burner is selected to operate in manual mode, after starting, 'Auto' can be selected.

A.C.C. operation initially is set to 'MAN'.

When the drum pressure has exceeded 5kg/cm2, AUTO can be selected.

CAUTION !
Always use air atomizing with diesel oil. The use of steam causes the oil spray quantity to increase
resulting in unstable combustion.

General Description of Automatic Boiler Control System

The Automatic Boiler Control System (A.B.C.) is composed of the automatic combustion control system
(A.C.C.) and the automatic feed water control system (F.W.C.).

Automatic Combustion Control

This system controls the fuel oil injection and the combustion air quantity required for efficient combustion.
They are controlled at an optimum level in order to maintain steam pressure at a given point for the required
steam flow rate. The control loops and functions of the A.C.C. are detailed below.

Master Control

Master control loop.


This loop detects the steam drum pressure (master pressure) and compares this pressure with a preset pressure
(master set press.). It performs the 'P+I' operation, and outputs the results to the sub control loop as boiler load
signal (master signal) and to equalise both (deviation to zero).

Master set point.


The steam drum pressure at which the boiler operates is manually set at the Master Set Station.

Burner management system (BMS)

For fully automatic control of the boiler operation, the combination of the master control loop with the burner
management system is required, as follows:

Base burner: auto start/stop


No.2 burner: auto start/stop
F.D. fan: high/low speed change

2.2.2 Boiler Control Systems Page 8 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


In TANKER SERVICE MODE the master control loop sends signals to BMS to start and stop the boiler
automatically at pre-set pressures.

Auto steaming up

This operation is performed until steam drum pressure becomes equal to the set point, in the following cases:

Steam drum press > 5kg/cm2 - burner ignited and pressure raised at a pre-determined rate..

COLD START: steam drum pressure <5kg/cm2 - while steam drum pressure is less than 5kg/cm2, firing
rate is limited to burner minimum.

AUTO RUN: This condition established when drum pressure set point reached.

Burner Control Loops

F.O. Loop
This loop makes a comparative calculation (cascade P+I control) between the master output signal and the
expected F.O. flow, controlling both to reduce the deviation to zero. Should the actual air flow at the burner
become less than required, then the F.O. flow is limited to the air flow.

Combustion Air Loop


Makes comparative calculations (set point P+I control) of required air flow to actual flow and reduces the
deviation to zero.

Normally the air flow increase will always lead fuel flow increase. A manual excess air adjustment provided
for changes in burning conditions.

Automatic Feed Water Control

F.W. control loop


The steam drum water level is detected and compared with the pre-set water level. A two-element control
determines the feed water quantity required to bring the deviation back to zero. The steam flow signal is
supplied as a feed-forward signal when the load changes. The P+I operation is performed using the steam flow
signal, this is caused by the difference in the water level set point and the detected water level of the steam
drum. The operating signal of the feed water control valve is controlled to bring the deviation back to zero.

Drum level station


The set point of the drum level is set and displayed, and the actual value (process point) is indicated. The F.W.
control valve can be changed over to Auto/Man and the current mode is indicated. When in manual the F.W.
control valve can be opened or closed from this station.

2.2.3 Sootblowers

Boiler Sootblowers

No. of sets : 1
Maker : Kikan Buhin Mfg. Co. Ltd
Model : BT-502-50-F

Sootblowing has to be carried out at regular intervals to ensure that the heat transfer surfaces are kept clear of
deposits, as these retard heat transfer and can constitute a fire hazard.

One sootblower is fitted to the boiler and should be operated daily when the boiler is in use, bearing in mind
the position of the vessel and any local legislation concerning pollution and clean air. It should be operated
when leaving port prior to shutting down the boiler. The sootblower is fitted with an air purge connection. This
is supplied from the discharge of the forced draught fan. This keeps the nozzles clear during boiler operation
and provides a seal at the air sealed wall boxes to prevent the escape of boiler exhaust gas into the machinery
space. Non-return valves prevent steam from entering the air lines.

Before operation of the sootblowers, request permission from the bridge and notify the bridge on completion.

Procedure for the Operation of the Boiler Sootblower

a) The boiler should be on a minimum of 50% of full load.

b) With the drain open slightly, open the steam stop valve to the sootblower header.

c) When the pipeline is warmed sufficiently, shut the drain valve and open the stop valve fully.

d) Operate the blower by starting the electric motor drive, or by inserting the manual handle into its
square drive shaft should the motor be inoperative.

e) The cam will automatically open the steam valve and allow the flow of steam through the
sootblower into the boiler, closing again at the end of the cam stroke.

WARNING !
Do not operate the boiler sootblower during inert gas operations

Procedure for the Operation of the Economiser Sootblowers

a) Start the seal air fan. This fan should run whenever the main engine is operating. It provides a seal
for preventing exhaust gases entering the engine room and also supplies cooling to the sootblower
lance and keeps the nozzles clear.

b) Select the auto position for all the sootblower switches. The by-pass switch can be selected w h e n
individual sootblowers are undergoing maintenance.

2.2.4 Medium Pressure Steam System

General Description

Saturated steam is led from the boiler at a normal pressure of 16 kg/cm2. Steam is branched off the main line
through a reducing valve to supply the 6 kg/cm2 steam service system.

The main line supplies the three cargo oil pump turbines, cargo oil stripping pump, cargo tank cleaning pump
and the inert gas pressure control valve (dump valve). The IGS control valve dumps steam to the vacuum
condenser to allow the boiler to remain on a minimum load of 30% to give an acceptable oxygen reading.
Excess steam pressure at other times is taken care of by dumping steam to the atmospheric condenser. The
medium pressure system also supplies the sootblowers for the exhaust gas boiler, boiler atomising steam and
boiler sootblowers.

Preparation for Supplying Steam to the Cargo Pump System

The boilers are on automatic control supplying the 16 kg/cm2 and 6 kg/cm2 steam systems.

Set up the valves as shown in the following table:

Inert Gas Steam Control valve

Steam is led direct from the boilers to the Inert Gas Control Valve. This valve is used to dump steam to the
vacuum condenser while supplying inert gas to the cargo tanks when there is a low steam demand on the
boiler. Dumping steam will cause the boiler to maintain a reasonable load causing the oxygen reading in the
exhaust gas to be acceptable. The use of this valve would not normally be required in port when cargo pumps
are running.

Description

Maker : Thermal Engineering International - Greens


Model : Senior Green Diesecon Exhaust Gas Boiler.
Type: Vertical Gas Flow
Evaporation : 2800 kg/h
Steam Condition : 7.5 kg/cm2 saturated steam.

The exhaust gas economiser is arranged in the funnel to take the waste heat from the main engine exhaust gas.
The exhaust gas heats up water circulating from the water drum of the auxiliary boiler and returning to the
steam drum. There are two circulating pumps to perform this task, one of which is normally in use.

The economiser is fitted with sootblowers and water washing lances to ensure the gas side of the unit remains
clean.

Operation Procedure
a) Ensure that all valves for instrumentation are open.
b) Arrange valves in the system as follows:

Position Description Valve


Open No.1 Boiler Water Circulating Pump Suction Valve SB041
Open No.2 Boiler Water Circulating Pump Suction Valve SB042
Open No.1 Boiler Water Circulating Pump Discharge Valve SB043
Open No.2 Boiler Water Circulating Pump Discharge Valve SB044

Open Steam Drum Inlet Valve from Economiser XXXX

Economiser
Open Economiser Outlet Valve ST030
Open Economiser Inlet Valve SB045
Closed Economiser Drain Valve XXXX
Closed Economiser Vent Valves XXXX

Operation

When the economiser is empty, care has to be taken when connecting with the auxiliary boiler, as the
difference in pressure could result in a sudden drop in the boiler water level. When setting up the valves, the
boiler water circulating pump discharge valve should be opened gradually, as the last stage in the procedure.
The boiler water circulating pump can then be started. If, at this stage,the system is prone to water hammer, it
may be advisable to start the pump with the discharge valve throttled in, gradually opening the valve as the
economiser warms up.

a) Vent air from the economiser.

b) The other pump is put on standby.

When the load from the main engine has increased to normal, the economiser can now generate sufficient
steam to supply the vessels services. The boiler firing is then stopped.

2.2.6 Economiser Page 1 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


During tank cleaning operations, manoeuvring and cold climates the economiser is supplemented by firing the
boiler as required.

A manometer is fitted across the tube bank to give early indication of fouling. The reading should be noted on
a daily basis. The inlet and outlet exhaust gas temperatures should be monitored. These temperatures, along
with the manometer reading, provide an index for the efficiency and cleanliness of the economiser tubes. If
these readings show a deterioration in efficiency, the frequency of sootblowing should be increased and the
economiser water washed at the next opportunity.

Water washing lances are fitted for cleaning the gas side at regular intervals. Sootblowers should be operated
at least every twelve hours.

2.3 Condensate and Feed Systems

2.3.1 Condensate System

Description

The main condensate system, as part of the steam generating cycle, is the section concerned with the
circulation of boiler feed water from the vacuum and atmospheric condensers via the cascade/filter tank to the
main feed pumps.

Exhaust steam from the cargo pumps is condensed under vacuum in the seawater cooled vacuum condenser,
the cooling water is supplied by the condenser cooling water pump. The vacuum in the condenser is
maintained by one of two steam operated air ejectors.

The collected condensate is then transferred via one of two condensate pumps to the cascade/filter tank, the
level of which is maintained by a float switch that operates a solenoid valve, providing make up water from the
storage tank. The condition of the condensate is monitored by a high salinity alarm.

Exhaust steam from the dump steam line and other auxiliaries is condensed in the seawater cooled atmospheric
condenser. Condenser water level is maintained by a weir to outlet line. The condensate is then transferred to
the cascade/filter tank via the observation tank. Hydrocarbon contamination is detected by the oil detecting
alarm and the returns can be manually diverted to the Primary Bilge Tank. Any floating sediment can be
drained through a scum line to the waste oil tank, or the observation tank can be drained to the primary bilge
tank. A weir in the observation tank outlet to the cascade tank prevents oil being carried over. The tank has a
low level alarm. The cascade tank can also be drained to the primary bilge tank.

Water from the cascade/filter tank provides the Boiler and Economiser feed pumps with a positive inlet head of
pressure to the pump suctions.

Feed water make-up and vacuum condenser condensate enter the cascade tank through a Degassing unit. The
water is mixed at the top of the unit with live steam and water circulated within the cascade tank by the
recirculation pump. This mixing encourages the release of gasses entrained in the condensate.

The condensate outlet temperature from the atmospheric drain/dump condenser should be maintained between
75°C and 90°C. A steam injector is provided in the cascade tank should extra heating be required.

Oil Contamination

If oil contamination occurs, divert the returns to the bilge primary tank. Check the drain on the drain traps on
all the steam services until the defective service is located and then isolate for repair.

After repair, flush the drain line of the defective service and clean the drain trap.

Clean the observation tank and the oil content monitor probe.

2.3.3 Boiler Feed System

Description

The boiler feed system is the section of the steam generating plant, which circulates feed water from the
cascade tank into the steam drum of the boiler via the boiler feed water pumps and the feed water regulator.

The feed water flow is automatically controlled by the feed water regulating valve in accordance with the
variation in water level in the steam drum and the steam flow signal to maintain the water level constant.

Two boiler feed pumps take suction from the cascade tank and supply the boiler at a rate of 110m3/h at 24.5
kg/cm2. These feed pumps are designed to supply the boiler during cargo operations.

Two economiser boiler feed pumps take suction from the cascade tank and supply the boiler at a rate of 5m3/h
at 24.5 kg/cm2. These feed pumps are designed to supply the boiler needs during normal sea going conditions.
Each pump returns a small proportion of the discharge back to the cascade tank through an orifice, which
prevents pump overheating when the feed water regulator is closed or when the boiler is on low load.

The salinity alarm sensor is positioned in the feed pump suction line.

Feed water is supplied to the boiler through the feed water regulator. Feed water can also be supplied to the
boiler using a separate auxiliary line, which can be used in an emergency. The standby feed pump will cut in
on the failure of a running unit.

Boiler water chemical treatment is administered by injecting into the boiler feed inlet lines using a chemical
dosing unit.

Procedure for Preparing the Boiler Feed System for Operation:

a) Ensure that the pressure gauge and instrumentation valves are open.

b) Set up the valves as in the following table:

Capacity: 261m3/h x 1.0kg/cm2
Services: Vacuum condenser, cross connection to central F.W. coolers

Main System

The main cooling sea water pumps supply cooling water to the central F.W. coolers and can be backed up by
the vacuum condenser C.S.W. pump.

All pumps take suction from a common sea water suction line, using either the low suction on the starboard
side or the high suction on the port side. The low suction will normally be in use at sea and when surface
contamination, such as weed, is present, also in light ballast conditions when ingress of air is likely. The high
suction will be used when in silted or shallow water conditions. A suction strainer is fitted at both suctions.
Both ship's side suction valves are remote hydraulically operated from the control station.

The pumps discharge to the low temperature F.W. coolers, then through the ship side overboard valve. The
pumps can also supply the vacuum condenser.

The No. 2 main C.S.W. pump has a direct emergency bilge suction from starboard aft of the engine room.

The pumps can be started and stopped locally. Auto start can be selected from the control room. Pressure
switches on the discharge side of the pumps provide the start signal for the selected standby pump.

The Vacuum Condenser is supplied by its own dedicated pump or by cross over from the main C.S.W. pumps.

The F.W. Generator is supplied by its own dedicated ejector pump. Should this pump fail, the unit may be
supplied from Fire & G.S. pumps / I.G.S. scrubber pump or I.G.S. topping up pump.

The fresh water generator (evaporator) unit is heated by the jacket water of the main engine and capable of
producing up to 40 ton/day of distillate. The unit boils sea water in a vacuum of at least 634mmHg at a
temperature of 56ºC. The vapour produced is condensed and pumped to the F.W. or D.W. storage tanks. The
quality of distillate is monitored by a salinity indicator.

An ejector pump provides sea water supply for feed, brine eduction and creating the vacuum. A distillate pump
discharges the created distillate to the various storage tanks.

The evaporator shell contains two tubular heat exchangers, separated by a deflector plate and demister pads. In
the lower chamber the sea water is heated by the jacket water system which, due to the vacuum inside the
chamber, will boil off. The vapour produced rises to the upper chamber, around a deflector plate and through
demister pads, where any entrained water droplets fall back to the lower chamber. In the upper chamber the
vapour is condensed by sea water supplied by the ejector pump. This condensed water vapour (distillate) is
drawn off by the distillate pump.

The main engine jacket water system provides the heating medium in the lower chamber, passing into the
heating coil at approx. 80ºC and returning out at approximately 68ºC. When the main engine is not in use,
steam supply to the jacket water preheater will maintain the jacket water system at the required temperature.

The ejector pump takes suction from the main sea water cross-over line. The supplied water passes through an
ejector which:

Creates a vacuum in the shell of the generator by drawing off the air inside the unit through a
vacuum adjusting valve
Provides the cooling water for the condenser
Draws off the brine from the bottom of the unit and discharges it overboard
Provides the feed water flow into the unit

2.4.3 Evaporators Page 1 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


The feed water is injected with a foaming and scaling inhibiting compound.

The distillate produced is pumped to the fresh water or distilled water tanks by the distillate pump. The
distillate is monitored by a salinity indicator and should the salinity rise above a set amount, (approx. 10ppm),
a solenoid valve in the discharge line is activated and the water is returned to the lower chamber in the
evaporator. When the distillate salinity again falls to correct levels, the solenoid valve will close, allowing the
discharged distillate to continue flowing to the storage tanks.

As the distillate water is produced at below 80ºC, sterilisation of the water has to take place to make it safe for
drinking. A sterilisation unit is fitted into the discharge line to the F.W. tanks and a re-hardening unit into the
domestic F.W. lines to the accommodation.

Operating Procedures

WARNING !
Do not operate the plant in polluted water. Freshwater must not be produced from polluted water, as
the produced water will be unsuitable for human consumption.

Starting Procedures

Distilled Water Transfer and Distribution System


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


2.4.4 Distilled Water Transfer and Distribution

The fresh water generator distillate pump discharges through a salinometer and a flowmeter. Positioned before
the flowmeter is a solenoid valve. This opens when the salinometer detects too high a salinity level, dumping
the distillate pump output to the bilge primary tank.

The discharge from the pump leads to the filling valves of both distilled and fresh water tanks. There are two
distilled water tanks, only one of which would normally be in use, each with a capacity of approximately
125MT. The distilled water tanks can be interconnected to the FW system, and vice versa, by opening the
cross over valves. The distilled water is supplied to fill the stern tube cooling water tank, and as a feed make-
up to the cascade tank.

The distilled water tanks have valve connections to deck, for shore side filling. Both tanks have level
indicating units and low level alarms fitted.

Procedure for Operation of the Distilled Water Transfer System

The valves should be set up as follows:

Position Description Valve


Closed FW Generator Distillate Pump Discharge Valve WP001
Closed Filling Valve for Inboard Distilled Water Tank XXXX
Closed Filling Valve for Outboard Distilled Water Tank XXXX
Open Outlet Valve from Inboard Distilled Water Tank WP056
Closed Outlet Valve from Outboard Distilled Water Tank WP057
Closed Inboard Distilled Water Tank Drain Valve WP451
Closed Outboard Distilled Water Tank Drain Valve WP457
Closed Crossover Between F.W. and Distilled Tanks WP058

a) Start up the F.W. generator.

b) Open the filling valve of the selected tank.

c) Start the distillate pump. Discharge should be to bilge.

d) Open distillate pump discharge valve.

e) Switch on salinometer.

If the salinometer reading is satisfactory the discharge will change over to fill the tank.

2.5 Fresh Water Cooling Systems

2.5.1 Main Engine Jacket Cooling Fresh Water System

The system has two cooling water pumps rated at 205m3/h with a pressure of 2.5kg/cm2. The system supplies
cooling water to the main engine jackets, cylinder heads and exhaust valves.

The system operates on a closed circuit principle. The pumps discharge through the jacket cooling water
preheater. A valve bypassing the preheater is throttled to ensure a flow through the preheater at all times. The
preheater maintains the main engine jacket cooling water temperature when the main engine is at idle or on
low load.

The hot water from the jackets is passed through the F.W. Generator, which can be bypassed when the main
engine is on low load or idle. The F.W. Generator performs an initial cooling effect. The jacket water then
passes through the jacket cooling water cooler, which is in turn cooled by the fresh water cooling system. A
three way control valve controls the flow through or by-passes the cooler depending on the jacket water outlet
temperature.

Flow continues to the supply main on the main engine. The system is continually vented at the highest point to
the expansion tank. There are branches from the main cooling water supply to each cylinder. Isolating valves
are fitted to the inlet and outlet mains for each cylinder to allow cylinders to be individually isolated for
maintenance purposes.

An automatic temperature controller operates a three way valve, which controls the flow through the cooler or
bypasses the cooler at low temperatures. The steam supply to the preheater is automatically controlled by a
temperature sensor in the inlet line to the F.W. Generator.

The expansion tank provides a positive head to the system as well as allowing for thermal expansion. The
system can be drained to bilge or to the maintenance tank and can be replenished using the fresh water transfer
pump.

To avoid loss of treated cooling water, a drain tank is provided. To replenish the system from the drain tank, an
air driven diaphragm pump is provided. The system is topped up by adding water to the expansion tank.

A de-aeration vessel is fitted to the C.F.W. pumps suction line, allowing the mixing of the water from the
expansion tank and cooler outlet lines. There is an alarm unit fitted to detect air present in the line from the
vessel to the expansion tank.

Preparation for the Operation of the Jacket Cooling Water System


a) Replenish the system using the fresh water filling pump on the maintenance tank, or from the
domestic fresh water system via the expansion tank.

b) Ensure all the pressure gauge and instrumentation valves are open.

c) Ensure the F.W. Generators are bypassed.

d) Ensure all the main engine individual cylinder inlet and outlet valves are open.

e) Ensure all the main engine individual cylinder vent and drain valves are closed.

f) Set up the valves as shown in the following table:

2.5.2 Central Fresh Water Cooling Systems

Introduction

The low temperature central fresh water cooling system works on the closed circuit principle. The system has
the following features:

Two circulating pumps which supply the services at a rate of 970 m3/h at 2.5 kg/cm2.

A pressure switch on the common pump discharge starts the standby pump on low pressure.

Two central coolers, which in turn are cooled by sea water.

An expansion tank which provides a positive head to the system as well as allowing for thermal expansion.
This tank can be topped up from the domestic fresh water system.

The circulating pumps receive suction from the system after the coolers at a temperature of approximately
36ºC. The temperature is controlled by a three way valve, which by-passes the cooler at low temperatures.

Water is supplied to each generator engine L.O. and scavenge air coolers and H.T. cooling water booster
pumps. Central fresh water is supplied to the individual generator engines via a solenoid valve which is
energised when the engine receives a start signal. The generator engine jacket coolers are supplied from a point
just before the return to the pump suction. A preheating unit with dedicated circulating pumps is provided to
maintain temperature in the standby generator engines.

The system is permanently vented from the highest point of the system to the expansion tank.

2.6 Fuel Oil and Diesel Oil Service Systems

2.6.1 Main Engine Fuel Oil Service System

Introduction

Fuel oil is stored on board in four fuel oil storage tanks and then transferred to a fuel oil settling tank, when
required, by a fuel oil transfer pump After fuel oil has been transferred to the settling tank, any water or other
sediment is drained off using a self-closing test cock.

From the fuel oil settling tank, fuel oil can be supplied directly to the boiler and is centrifuged in one of two
F.O. purifiers to the fuel oil service tank. Fuel oil is supplied to the main engine and generator diesel engines
from the fuel oil service tank, using two separate fuel supply systems. The main engine and three auxiliary
engines are designed to run on F.O. at all times. One of the fuel oil purifiers will be running at all times, with
the throughput balanced to match the fuel consumption of the main engines and generator diesel engines.

All outlet valves from all fuel tanks are remote quick closing valves with a collapsible bridge which can be
pneumatically operated from the fire control station. After being tripped from the fire control station the
valves must be reset locally. Each tank is also fitted with a self closing test cock to test for the presence of
water and to drain any water present. Tundishes under the self closing test cock drain any test liquid to the fuel
oil drain tank. All tanks and heaters are supplied with steam at 6kg/cm2 from the ship’s steam supply, with
condensate flowing to the observation tank which is fitted with an oil detection unit.

The steam supply to both F.O. supply heaters is controlled by a viscosity controller. All fuel oil pipe work is
trace heated by small bore steam pipes laid adjacent to the fuel oil pipe and encased in the same lagging.

Heated and filtered fuel oil is supplied to the main engine and auxiliary engines from the fuel oil service tank
(under abnormal conditions the settling tank can be used). Fuel oil from the fuel oil service tank, is supplied to
one of two fuel oil supply pumps. The second pump will be on automatic stand-by, and will start in the event
of discharge pressure drop or voltage failure of the running pump.

The fuel is supplied from the H.F.O. service tank, through a D.O./H.F.O. change over cock to a duplex suction
filter, one side of which will normally be in use with the other isolated. The fuel oil supply pumps discharge
through the main engine fuel oil supply meter to the F.O. return pipe. A relief valve, which is set at 4.0kg/cm2,
maintains the supply pump’s discharge pressure by recirculating oil from the pump discharge back to the
suction side of the pumps.

Fuel oil is drawn from the return pipe by one of two main engine fuel oil circulating pumps. The second pump
will be on automatic stand-by and will start in the event of discharge pressure drop or voltage failure of the
running pump. The fuel oil circulating pumps discharge through one of a pair of main engine fuel oil heaters
where the oil is heated to a temperature corresponding to a viscosity of 12cSt using steam at 6kg/cm2.

The heated fuel oil then passes through an automatic back flush filter, with a by-pass basket filter for use
during maintenance of the main filter, before entering the viscosity controller which controls steam to the
heater. The main filter is an automatic self cleaning filter with the cleaning mechanism activated by an
increasing differential pressure. The debris discharge from the auto filter is piped to the fuel oil overflow tank.
The oil is then supplied to the main engine fuel rail into the suction side of the main engine high pressure fuel
oil injection pumps. A relief valve regulates the pressure at the main engine rail, diverting excess pressure to
the F.O. return pipe. A valve is fitted on this section of line to flush the system back to the service tank when
changing over to diesel when at standstill.

The high pressure fuel oil lines on the engine are sheathed, any leakage from the annular spaces formed by the
sheathing is lead to the F.O. overflow/drains tank.

Fuel change-over

The Main Engine is designed to run on H.F.O. at all times. However, change-over to diesel oil can become
necessary if, for instance, the vessel expects to have a prolonged inactive period with a cold engine, i.e. due to:
A major repair of the fuel oil system etc
A docking
More than five days stoppage
Environmental legislation requiring the use of low sulphur fuels

A Change-over can be performed at any time, during engine running or during engine standstill.

In order to prevent fuel pump and injector sticking/scuffing, poor combustion, fouling of the gas ways it is
very important to carefully follow the change-over procedures.

Change-over from Diesel Oil to Heavy Fuel During Running

To protect the injection equipment against rapid temperature changes, which may cause sticking/scuffing of the
fuel valves and of the fuel pump plungers and suction valves, the change-over is carried out as follows
(manually):
a) First, ensure that the heavy oil in the service tank is at normal temperature level.
b) Reduce the engine load to 75% of normal. Then, by means of the thermostatic valve in the steam
system, or by manual control of the viscosity regulator, the diesel oil is heated to 60-80ºC
maximum, in order to maintain the lubrication ability of the diesel oil and in this way minimise the
risk of plunger scuffing and the consequent risk of sticking. This preheating should be regulated
to give a temperature rise of about 2ºC per minute.
c) Due to the above mentioned risk of sticking/scuffing of the fuel injection equipment, the
temperature of the heavy fuel oil in the service tank must not be more than 25ºC higher than the
heated diesel oil in the system (60-80ºC) at the time of changeover.

(Note ! The diesel oil viscosity should not drop below 2cSt, as this might cause fuel pump and fuel valve
scuffing, with the risk of sticking).

d) For some light diesel oils (gas oil), this will limit the upper temperature to somewhat below 80ºC.
When 60-80ºC has been reached, the change to heavy oil is performed by turning the change-over
cock. Open fuel oil supply valve OM03. Close diesel oil supply valve OM04.

The temperature rise is then continued at a rate of about 2ºC per minute, until reaching the required viscosity.

Change-over from Heavy Fuel to Diesel Oil During Running.

To protect the fuel oil injection equipment against rapid temperature changes, which may cause scuffing with
the risk of sticking of the fuel valves and of the fuel pump plungers and suction valves, the changeover to
diesel oil is performed as follows (manually):

a) Ideally the diesel oil in the D.O. service tank should be at 50ºC, if possible.

b) Shut off the steam supply to the fuel oil preheater and heat tracing.

c) Reduce the engine load to 75% of MCR load.

d) Change to diesel oil when the temperature of the heavy oil in the preheater has dropped to about
25ºC above the temperature in the diesel oil service tank, however, not below 75ºC.

e) Open the diesel oil supply valve OD011. Close the H.F.O. supply valve OF202.
Fuel oil is now fed to the supply pumps.

(Note ! If, after the change-over, the temperature (at the preheater) suddenly drops considerably, the transition
must be moderated by supplying a small amount of steam to the preheater, which now contains diesel oil).

Running'.

d) Open diesel oil supply valve OD011.

e) Close Fuel Oil supply valve OF202.

f) Open the main return valve to the H.F.O. tanks OM39 so that the fuel oil is pumped to the F.O.
service tank. Ensure that there is sufficient ullage in the service tank.

g) When the heavy fuel oil is replaced by diesel oil, close the above return valves.

h) Stop the viscosity controller.

i) Stop the fuel oil pumps.

2.6.2 Auxiliary Engine Fuel Oil Service System

Introduction

Fuel oil is supplied to the generator diesel engines from the same fuel oil service tank as for M.E. fuel oil
supply but using a dedicated fuel supply system separate from the M.E. system. The three auxiliary engines are
designed to run on F.O. at all times.

The steam supply to both F.O. supply heaters is controlled by a viscosity controller. All fuel oil pipe work is
trace heated by small bore steam pipes laid adjacent to the fuel oil pipe and encased in the same lagging.

Heated and filtered H.F.O. is supplied to the auxiliary engines. Fuel oil from the fuel oil service tank is
supplied to one of two fuel oil supply pumps, after passing through one side of a duplex filter. The second
pump will be on automatic stand-by and will start in the event of discharge pressure drop or voltage failure of
the running pump. The fuel oil supply pumps discharge through an auto back flush filter then a flowmeter to
the auxiliary engine F.O. return pipe.

Fuel oil is drawn from the return pipe by one of two generator engine fuel oil circulating pumps. The second
pump will be on automatic stand-by and will start in the event of discharge pressure drop or voltage failure of
the running pump. The fuel oil circulating pumps discharge through one of two fuel oil heaters where the oil is
heated to a temperature corresponding to a viscosity of 12cSt using steam at 6kg/cm2.

The heated fuel oil then passes through the viscosity controller (which controls steam to the heater0 and is then
supplied to the auxiliary engine driven fuel pump. A pressure operated solenoid valve regulates the pressure at
the engine rail, diverting excess pressure to either the F.O. return pipe or the F.O. service tank using change-
over valves. Normally the returns will go to the return pipe, using the change over valves to flush the system
through when changing over to diesel oil.

The high pressure fuel oil lines on the engine are sheathed, any leakage from the annular spaces formed by the
sheathing is lead to the fuel oil overflow tank.

The above system can be used with either H.F.O. or D.O., but it will normally be used for H.F.O., only
changing over to D.O. during maintenance and long shut down periods such as refit.

The engines can be operated using D.O. suction to the D.O. pump is taken from the D.O. service tank, to an
electric driven pump with suction strainer, through one side of a duplex filter set, into the fuel inlet rail for
each generator. This system can be operated to individual engines while the other engines are operated on
H.F.O. In this case, the returns are directed back to the D.O. service tank through a pressure operated solenoid
valve on the return rail. A similar solenoid valve is fitted to the inlet rail of this system to prevent over
pressurisation.

In an emergency, (eg during power loss conditions), an air operated emergency D.O. pump can be used to
operate the above system. A solenoid valve operated on black out conditions allows air to start up this pump.

Preparation for the Operation of the Auxiliary Engine Fuel Oil Service System

a) Put the H.F.O. purifier in use, filling the service tank from the settling tank.

b) Ensure the filters are clean.

c) Ensure that all engines are stopped.

d) Ensure that all instrumentation valves are open.

Change-over from Heavy Fuel to Diesel Oil During Standstill

a) Stop the preheating.

b) Stop the trace heating.

Regarding temperature levels before change-over, see 'Change-over from Heavy Fuel to Diesel Oil during
Running'. in section 2.6.1

c) Open the diesel oil supply valve in the supply unit.

d) Open the D.O. service tank suction valve OD102.

e) Close the H.F.O. service tank suction valve OF103.

f) Open valve OF114 and close valve OF113 to divert the fuel to the H.F.O. service tank. Ensure that
there is sufficient ullage in the service tank.

g) When the heavy fuel oil is replaced by diesel oil, close the bypass valves.

h) Open valve OF113 and close valve OF114 to divert the fuel to the return pipe.

If the auxiliary engines are going to operate on D.O. at this stage, operate the inlet and outlet change over
cocks for each engine.

j) Stop the viscosity controller.

k) Stop the fuel oil pumps if the system is not required.

Changing Over Fuel When Auxiliary Engine(s) Are Running

Procedures similar to that used for the main engine (section 2.6.1) could be used, but it would be more
advisable to change over the fuel supply when the vessels power is being supplied by an auxiliary engine
running on D.O. supplied by the emergency fuel pump and system.

2.6.3 Boiler Fuel Oil System

Introduction

Fuel oil is stored on board in four fuel oil storage tanks, and then transferred to one of two fuel oil settling
tanks, when required, by a fuel oil transfer pump After fuel oil has been transferred to the settling tank, any
water or other sediment is drained off, using a self closing test cock. Fuel oil is passed from the settling tanks
to a service tank through purifiers. The boiler can be provided with H.F.O. from either the service or settling
tanks.

Diesel oil can be supplied to the boiler from the diesel oil service tank for starting from cold by using the
boiler fuel pumps and to the base burner ignition unit through the D.O. ignition pumps.

The steam supply to both F.O. supply heaters is controlled by a temperature controller. All fuel oil pipe work is
trace heated by small bore steam pipes laid adjacent to the fuel oil pipe and encased in the same insulation.

Fuel oil from the fuel oil service tank, is supplied to one of two fuel oil pumps. The second pump will be on
automatic stand-by and will start in the event of a discharge pressure drop or a voltage failure of the running
pump. The fuel oil pumps take suction from the service tank via a duplex strainer and flowmeter. A pressure
control valve, with its sensing point on the pump discharge, maintains the pump discharge pressure at 22
kg/cm2 by recirculating oil from the pump discharge back to the air separator/return pipe. The oil in the air
separator returns to the pump suction after the flowmeter. The vent from the air separator returns to the H.F.O.
settling tank vent line.

The fuel oil pumps discharge through one of a pair of fuel oil heaters where the oil is heated to the required
temperature.

The oil is fed to the boiler via a pressure control valve, controlled by the automatic combustion control system.
When the boilers are in a standby condition a solenoid valve on the return line automatically opens to circulate
fuel back to the air separator, keeping the fuel oil at working temperature immediately before the burner. On
the recirculating line is a change over valve, where the fuel can be diverted from returning to the air separator
to the H.F.O. settling tank. These valves would normally be used for flushing fuel oil back to the H.F.O. tank
when changing from D.O. to H.F.O. or vice versa.

The boiler has two D.O. ignition pumps which take suction from the D.O. service tank via the pump suction
filter to the ignition burner in the base burner.

A steam connection is fitted to the F.O. line to the burner after the double shut off solenoid valves, for
automatic purging of the burner prior to shut down.

Preparation for the Operation of the Auxiliary Boiler Fuel Oil Service System

a) Ensure the filters are clean.

b) Ensure that all instrumentation valves are open.

The following procedure illustrates starting from cold with the system charged with diesel oil and in a shut
down condition.

Set up the valves as in the following table:

b) Flash up the boiler on D.O. using atomising air.

When steam is available :-

a) Open supply steam heating to the H.F.O. settling tank.

b) Open supply trace heating to the fuel oil service system pipe lines.

CAUTION !
Trace heating should not be applied to sections of pipeline isolated by closed valves on the F.O. side as
damage, such as blown flange joints, could occur due the expansion of the contents.

When enough pressure is available:

a) Stop firing the boiler.

b) Open the selected F.O. heater inlet and outlet valves.

c) Manually start supplying steam to the selected on line F.O. heater.

d) Open suction valve OF301 to take suction from the H.F.O. settling tank.

e) Close the D.O. suction valve OD301.

f) Open the return valve OF327 to the H.F.O. settling tank.

D.O. will now be expelled to the H.F.O. settling tank, at the same time drawing in H.F.O. from the settling
tank.
g) Continue to raise the F.O. temperature manually.
h) Change the operation of the heater steam control valve to auto by opening the steam inlet valve
fully.
i) When the D.O. has been expelled, operate the return change over cock to direct the return oil to
the air separator.

H.F.O. is now circulating through the system.

The boiler is now ready for firing on H.F.O. using steam atomising.

The boiler is designed to operate and remain on standby using H.F.O. Change over to D.O. is only necessary
when maintenance is required and for long periods of shut down, such as refit.

j) After the boiler is firing on H.F.O. put the other F.O. pump on auto start.

(Note ! Change over to H.F.O. can take place while still firing the boiler. The recirculating line would remain
lined up to the air separator and the fuel would change over by normal usage. However this could lead to
unstable flame conditions due to incorrect temperature settings at the heater).

CAUTION !
Do not change to steam atomising until the system is charged with H.F.O.

2.7 Fuel Oil and Diesel Oil Transfer Systems

2.7.1 Fuel Oil and Diesel Oil Bunkering and Transfer System

Fuel Oil System

Fuel oil, for all purposes on board the ship, is stored in four fuel oil bunker tanks located forward of the engine
room, two on the port side and two on the starboard side. From the storage tanks, fuel oil is transferred to one
of two fuel oil settling tanks where it is allowed to settle prior to being purified into the fuel oil service tank.
Fuel oil is supplied to the main engine and generator engines from the fuel oil service tank. The boilers are
supplied either from the settling tanks or service tank.

The fuel oil storage tanks are filled from a fuel oil bunkering line located at the cargo manifold, port and
starboard sides. The bunkering line is fitted with a relief valve set at 5.0 kg/cm2, the discharge flows into the
fuel oil overflow tank. The fuel oil transfer pump is located forward on the engine room floor and is used to
transfer F.O. from the storage tanks to the settling tanks at a rate of 40 m3/h and a pressure of 3.0 kg/m2. It is
possible to use the diesel oil transfer pump for fuel oil service and vice versa in an emergency. The spectacle
pieces separating the suction lines and discharge lines are normally closed. The fuel oil transfer pump is started
and stopped automatically by means of level switches on the fuel oil settling tank. Fuel oil is transferred to the
service tank by the F.O. purifiers

The overflow tank is fitted to collect the overflow from the settling tank in the event of overfill. The fuel oil
transfer pump is used to pump the contents of the fuel oil overflow tank to the fuel oil bunker tanks or settling
tank. The fuel oil can be transferred from one storage tank to another for trim or other purposes, using the
transfer pump and the bunkering line. The service tank can be drained to the overflow tank.

All outlet valves from all fuel tanks are remote operated quick closing valves with a collapsible bridge which
can be pneumatically operated from the fire control station. After being tripped from the fire control station the
valves must be reset locally. Each tank is also fitted with a self closing test cock to test for the presence of
water and to drain any water present. Tundishes under the self closing test cock drain any liquid to the bilge
primary tank. All tanks are provided with local temperature indication, plus remote level and temperature
indication in the control room. The tanks also have an overfill alarm.

All fuel oil tanks are fitted with heating coils, the heating steam being supplied at 6 kg/cm2 from the heating
steam system. Condensate from the heating coils flow to the cascade tank via an oil detector and observation
tank. All fuel oil transfer lines are trace heated by steam also at 6kg/cm2.

Preparation and Procedure for Loading and Transfer of Bunkers

Before and during bunkering, the following steps should be complied with:

a) The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that bunkers of the correct specification and agreed
quantity are received on board in a safe and efficient manner.

b) Shore and barge tanks should be checked for water content.

c) Representative samples are to be drawn using the continuous drip method for the duration of the
loading operation and dispatched for analysis.

d) Where possible, new bunkers are to be segregated on board prior to use until results of laboratory
analysis are received.

e) No internal transferring of bunkers should take place during bunker loading operations, unless
permission has been obtained from the Chief Engineer.

f) The Chief Engineer should also calculate the estimated finishing ullages/dips, prior to the starting
of loading.

g) Bunker tanks should not exceed 97% full.

h) Any bunker barges attending the vessel are to be safely moored alongside before any part of the
bunker loading operation begins.

i) Level alarms fitted to bunker tanks should be tested prior to any bunker loading operations.

j) Verify that all lines are sound, by visual inspection.

k) Complete the pre-transfer check list.

l) All personnel involved should be aware of the contents of the Chief Engineer’s bunker loading
plan.

m) The Chief Engineer is responsible for bunker loading operations, assisted at all times by a
sufficient number of officers and ratings to ensure that the operation is carried out safely.

n) A watch should be kept at the manifold during loading.

o) All personnel involved should be in radio contact.

p) The maximum pressure in the bunker line should be below 5.0 kg/cm2, at which point the line
relief valve will discharge to the F.O. overflow tank.

q) Safe means of access to barges/shore shall be used at all times.

r) Scuppers and savealls (including those around bunker tank vents) should be effectively plugged.

s) Drip trays are provided at bunker hose connections.

t) Oil spill containment and clean up equipment must be deployed and ready for use.

u) Loading should start at the agreed minimum loading rate. Only upon confirmation of no leakage
and fuel going into only the nominated tanks, should the loading rate be increased.

v) When topping off, the flow of oil to the tank in question should be reduced by diverting the flow
of oil to another tank. In the case of the final tank, the loading rate should be reduced to the
agreed minimum at least 20 minutes before the finishing ullage is reached.

CAUTION !
At least one bunker tank filling valve must be fully open at all times during the bunkering operation.

Relevant information is to be entered in the Oil Record Book on completion of loading.

Diesel Oil System

Diesel oil for all purposes on board the ship is stored in a diesel oil storage tank located at the starboard
forward side of the engine room. From the storage tank, D.O. is transferred to the diesel oil service tank, using
the D.O. transfer pump. D.O. can be supplied to the main engines, generator engines ,boiler, inert gas system
and incinerator from the diesel oil service tank.

The diesel oil storage tank is filled from a diesel oil bunkering line located at the cargo manifold and port and
starboard connections located on the aft main deck. The bunkering line is fitted with a relief valve set at 5.0
kg/cm2, which discharges into the diesel oil storage tank. The diesel oil transfer pump is located forward on the
engine room lower level. It is used to transfer D.O. from the storage tanks to the service tanks at a rate of
10m3/h and a pressure of 3.0 kg/cm2. It is possible to use the fuel oil transfer pump for diesel oil service, and
vice versa. The diesel oil transfer pump is manually started, but is stopped automatically by means of a level

2.7.2 F.O. and D.O. Purifying Systems

F.O. Purifying System

Maker: Westfalia
No. of sets: 2
Model: OSC50-0136-066
Capacity: 6,200t/h

There are two centrifugal self-cleaning H.F.O. purifiers fitted. They are used to draw fuel oil from the H.F.O.
settling tanks and distribute the purified fuel oil to the H.F.O. service tank. Normally one unit is in use, with
the second being cleaned or ready to use. The purifiers are supplied from the settling tanks by the H.F.O.
purifier feed pumps, through steam heaters. Either feed pump is able to supply both purifiers. The purifiers,
heaters and feed pumps are located in the purifier room. Instrument air is supplied to the purifiers to control the
supply of oil to the bowl and the automatic discharge facility. Domestic fresh water is supplied for sealing and
flushing purposes.

The H.F.O. is supplied from the designated settling tank through the change over cock and through one side of
the duplex filter to the feed pump. The feed pump discharges the oil through the steam heater to maintain a
temperature of 98ºC and into the purifier. After purification, the oil is discharged to the H.F.O. service tank by
the purifier's own pump.

Either feed pump can supply both heaters and purifiers through cross connections. It is also possible to run
both purifiers in series, with No.1 unit supplying the inlet of No.2 unit, should the quality of supplied oil
warrant this.

The systems can be set up such that either purifier can circulate oil, taking suction from and discharging to
either settling tank.

Preparation for the Operation of the H.F.O. Purifying System

a) Transfer oil to the respective settling tank using the H.F.O. transfer pump or prepare to circulate
the selected tank.

b) Check and record the level of oil in all fuel tanks.

c) Open the self closing test cock on the tank to be used, closing it again when any water has
drained.

d) All valves in the purifier system are to be closed.

e) Open the valves, as indicated in the table below, to take suction from No.1 settling tank and
discharge to the H.F.O. service tank.

g) Shut all valves.

D.O. Filtering System

Maker: CJC
No. of sets: 1
Model: XXXX
Capacity: 600l/h

Diesel oil is not purified as is the H.F.O., but the diesel fuel is passed through a filtering unit and into the D.O.
service tank.

The D.O. is normally drawn from the D.O. storage tank by the filtering unit pump, passing through its suction
strainer. The oil is then forced through a filtration tower, and discharged into the D.O. service tank.

If required, the system can be set up in such a way that the D.O. is continuously recirculated, by suction from
and discharge to, the service tank.

The pressure indicator on the unit will indicate when cleaning is required, with a solenoid valve operating to
drain the filter to the F.O. purifier sludge tank. The unit has to be opened to be cleaned.

2.8 Lubricating Oil Systems

2.8.1 Main Engine Lubricating Oil System

Introduction

The main engine has three separate lubricating oil systems:


Main lubricating oil system
Camshaft lubricating oil system
Cylinder oil system

Main lubricating oil system

The main lubricating oil system, is supplied by one of two main pumps, which take suction from the sump tank
and supply the engine with a flow of 550 m3/h at 4.9 kg/cm2.

After passing through the L.O. cooler, the oil is separated into two pipeline systems to carry the oil around the
engine to perform different tasks.

One system provides the oil via telescopics to the piston cooling manifold, where it is distributed between
piston cooling and bearing lubrication. From the crosshead bearings, the oil flows through the bores in the
connecting rods, to the crankpin bearings. The turbo-charger lubrication is also provided from this system.

The other system provides lubrication to the main bearings, chain drive, axial vibration damper and the thrust
bearing.

Camshaft oil system

To prevent the circulating oil in the crankcase from being contaminated with fuel, the engine is provided with a
separate forced lubrication system which supplies oil to the camshaft bearings, roller guides and hydraulically
operated exhaust valves.

The oil is taken from the system service tank by one of two pumps, and delivered at 12.1m3/h 3.0kg/cm2,
through a cooler and line filter. The oil drains to the bottom of the bearing housing, where a suitable level is
maintained to lubricate the running surfaces of the cams. The oil then returns to the service tank through a
magnetic filter.

To maintain the oil in a suitable condition, a CJC pump/filtration unit is fitted to the service tank, allowing the
oil to be circulated and cleaned.

Cylinder lubrication system

The power dependent lubrication of the pistons, cylinders and exhaust valve spindles, is performed by a
separate cylinder lubrication system. High alkaline lubricating oil is supplied to the main engine cylinders on a
once through basis in order to lubricate the piston rings to reduce wear and counteract the acidity of the
products of combustion. The oil is injected when the piston rings are passing the injection ports on the
compression stroke. The supply unit is supplied under gravity from a daily use tank, through filters, which is
topped up from one of the two cylinder oil storage tanks.

2.8 Lubricating Oil Systems Page 1 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


The oil drains from the crankcase back to the L.O. sump. One of the main L.O. circulating pumps will
normally be running, with the other pump on stand-by, to start in the event of the running pump discharge
pressure failure, or voltage failure. The pumps discharge through a cooler and then an automatic back flush
filter before the oil is supplied to the main engine. Drains from all the bearings are led to the main engine
sump.

The cooler is circulated with cooling water from the low temperature fresh water cooling system. The
temperature is controlled by means of a three-way control valve, which controls the lubricating oil flow
through the cooler, to maintain an oil supply temperature of 45°C.

Any liquid accumulating in the under piston space is drained to the residue tank.

Preparation for the Operation of the Main Engine Lubricating Oil System

a) Check the level of oil in the main engine sump and top up if necessary.

b) Supply steam to the main engine sump heating coil.

c) Ensure all pressure gauge and instrumentation valves are open.

d) Set up valves as shown in the tables below:

Closed Cylinder Oil Flowmeter By-pass Valve OL213

c) Ensure the daily use tank outlet filters are clean.

d) Check the consumption on a daily basis. Ensure that the consumption does not drop below the
manufacturer's recommendations. False economy will result in excessive piston ring and liner
wear and sticking rings, resulting in possible scavenge fires.

e) Check the condition of the liner and piston rings, especially during the run in period. Any signs of
dryness means the consumption should be increased.

f) Ensure that all the cylinder injection points are receiving equal quantities of lubrication.

Stern Tube Lubricating Oil System


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


2.8.2 Stern Tube Lubricating Oil System

The stern tube is lubricated by its own L.O. system and is divided into three sections:-
Outer aft seals
Stern tube and inner aft seals
Forward seals

At the outer aft end of the stern tube there are four lip seals fitted. Sea water is prevented from ingress to the
stern tube bearing and L.O. in the system flowing out of the shaft by the outboard pair. These seals are ‘dry’,
with no oil circulation between them. However, an oil flow system is provided between the outboard and
inboard pair. Should the outboard pair leak, then oil will tend to flow out down the shaft rather than sea water
coming in to the stern tube bearing.

The stern tube bearing has its own L.O. circulation system in order to keep the bearing both lubricated and
cooled. Part of this system is led to the space between the two aft end inboard lip seals, which prevent oil from
leaving the bearing down the shaft.

The two forward end lip seals take oil from the main circulating system, provided by the stern tube L.O. pump,
which passes between the two seals, and returns through a separate sight glass back to the sump.

All these systems can drain to a L.O. sump tank during refit. This tank can give suction to the L.O. purifier or
L.O. transfer pump for purification direct or transfer to the M.E. L.O. settling tank. The purifier discharges
back to the sump tank. The L.O. tank can be topped up from the M.E. L.O. storage tank, using the L.O.
transfer pump. The L.O. tank is equipped with a low level alarm. The stern tube is monitored by a high
temperature alarm.

The aft seals are provided with an oil flow from a high and low header tank, the tank used depending on the
vessel’s draft. Both of these tanks are filled using the aft seal pump, which takes suction from the aft seal
supplement tank. The system is naturally circulating and by using the two way cocks in this system, either tank
can be used depending on the vessel’s draft. A control panel is fitted to operate pneumatic solenoid valves
which allow the oil to flow into and out of the aft seals. Both the header tanks are fitted with high and low
level alarms to assist in monitoring the oil level.

The main stern tube system operates by one of the two stern tube L.O. pumps taking suction from the L.O.
sump tank, discharging through an air cooler into the bottom of the shaft bearing. The oil then flows out of the
top of the bearing and by changing a two way cock depending on the vessel’s draft, allows the oil to return to
the sump tank. This return oil passes through a flow alarm tank, which sounds should the flow stop. The
pumps have auto change over capabilities. The change over alarm will sound when the vessel’s draft is around
the 17 metre level.

2.8.3 L.O. Purifying System

Main L.O. Purifiers:-


Maker: Westfalia
No.of sets: 2
Model: OSA 20-02-066 Design 20
Capacity: 16100 l/h

Generator Engine L.O. Purifier:-


Maker: Westfalia
No. of sets: 1
Model: OSC 5-02-066 Design 4
Capacity: 2700 l/h

There are three centrifugal self-cleaning lubricating oil purifiers fitted. Two of which can be used on the main
and auxiliary engines and the other auxiliary services, the third smaller unit is specifically for the generator
engine services.

The main purifiers can be run simultaneously on different services. They can be used for batch purification, or
for continuous purification. A purifier will normally be in use on the main engine sump while the main engine
is running. The lubricating oil purifiers are supplied by L.O. feed pumps and a steam powered heater, and
there is a cross connection, which allows either feed pump to supply any purifier. The purifiers and heaters are
located in the purifier room, while the feed pumps are located on the engine room floor on the starboard side.
Instrument air is supplied to the purifiers to control the supply of oil to the bowl and the automatic discharge
facility. Domestic fresh water is supplied for sealing and flushing purposes.

(Note ! If the purifiers have to be crossed over, care must be taken to avoid contamination of the different
grades.)

The main purifiers take suction via the L.O. feed pumps and discharge to the following systems:
Main engine system settling tank
Main engine lubricating oil sump tank
Auxiliary engine sumps
Auxiliary engine settling tank
Sterntube drain tank
L.O. Drain Tank
Stuffing Box L.O. Drain Tank

Then generator purifier takes suction via its own L.O. feed pump and discharges to:-
Generator engine system settling tank
Generator engine sumps

Preparation for the Operation of the Purifying System

a) Transfer oil to the respective settling tank using the transfer pump or prepare to circulate the
selected tank.

b) Check and record the level of oil in all lubricating oil tanks.

2.8.4 Lubricating Oil Filling and Transfer System

Introduction

Lubricating oil is stored in the following main storage tanks, located in the engine room.

Tank Volume 100% (m3)


M.E. L.O. Sump Tank 45.0
No.1 and No.2 Cylinder Oil Storage Tanks XXX
No.1 and No.2 System Oil Storage Tanks 30.0 each
System Oil Settling Tank 45.0

In addition there are auxiliary L.O. tanks for the storage of oil for the auxiliary engines and cargo pump
turbines.

All outlet valves from all lubricating oil tanks are remote quick closing valves with a collapsible bridge, which
can be pneumatically operated from the fire control station. After being tripped from the fire control station
the valves must be reset locally. Each tank is also fitted with a self closing test cock to test for the presence of
water and to drain any water present. Tundishes under the self closing test cock drain any test liquid to the
waste oil tank.

Lubricating oil is run down from these tanks to the main engine, generator diesel engines and other machinery
services. The settling tanks are used to allow the contents of the sump of a generator diesel engine or the main
engine to be transferred prior to being centrifuged back to the sump or recirculated back to the settling tank.
Heating coils are fitted to the main and auxiliary engine lubricating oil settling tanks. All storage and settling
tanks are filled from connections on both sides of the upper deck, one for each grade of oil.

Oil can be loaded from connections on both sides of the deck, in front of the accommodation block. A
different line is provided for each grade.

The lubricating oil transfer pump is used to transfer lubricating oil from one part of the ship to another. Its
duties include batch transfer of lubricating oil from the main and auxiliary engine sumps to the lubricating oil
settling tanks prior to batch purification.

The pump can take suction from:


Main engine sump
Stern tube lubricating oil drain tank
Generator engine sumps
Generator engine lubricating oil settling tank
Generator engine lubricating oil storage tank
Main engine lubricating oil settling tank
Main engine lubricating oil storage tank
Cargo pump turbines

2.9 Bilge System

2.9.1 Engine Room Bilge System and Bilge Separator

Bilge, Fire and G.S. Pumps


Maker: Teikoku
No.of sets: 2
Model: 250-2VSR-Bm-NV-F
Capacity: 282/350 m3/h at 3/12 kg/cm2

Two vertical self priming Bilge, Fire & G.S. pumps are provided with bilge suctions for emergency use. Both
pumps are equipped with a vacuum pump driven by the main pump via a friction coupling. When pressure is
detected at the discharge of the pump, the vacuum pump drive is disconnected.

The pumps take suction from the following bilge main connections:
Port forward bilge well
Stbd forward bilge well
Bilge well aft
Bilge hat centre
Aft Cofferdam
Stern Tube Cooling Water Tank

No.1 pump has a direct suction from the port bilge well. Both pumps also take suction from the sea and both
pumps discharge through a common overboard valve.

CAUTION !
The overboard discharge is not to be used for discharging bilges unless under emergency conditions.

Both pumps discharge to the fire & foam system.

Bilge Transfer Pump


Maker: Taiko Kikai
No.of sets: 1
Model: HNP-401
Capacity: 5.0m3/h at 3.3 kg/cm2

A bilge water transfer pump is supplied which can discharge to the sludge discharge line and the bilge primary
tank. If necessary, the bilge holding tank can be pumped either to the cargo slop tank or ashore when in port.

This pump can take suction from:


The bilge main system
Bilge holding tank

Main Cooling Sea Water Pump

The No.2 main cooling water pump can also pump out the bilge via the emergency bilge suction valve, which
is connected directly to the pump suction.

Draft Issue 1 2.9 Bilge System Page 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Bilge Holding Tank

The Primary Bilge Tank collects drains from:


Cascade tank
Purifier sludge tank
E.R. oily bilge drains
E.R. scuppers
Boiler scuppers
Economiser drains

This tank overflows to the bilge holding tank. The bilge holding tank collects drains directly from the main
engine air cooler clean drains.

Discharge from oily water separator when oil content is above 15ppm is to the sewage tank.

Oily Water Separator


Maker: XXXX
Type: XXXX

Bilge water is drawn into the separator under low pressure conditions created by the discharge pump.

An oil content monitor samples the bilge water as it passes through the separator. Should the oil content rise,
then the overboard discharge solenoid valve will automatically close and the solenoid open to the discharge
line into the bilge holding tank.

If the outlet from the separator contains an excessive oil content, the unit stops automatically and a further
solenoid valve opens, directing the oil to the bilge separated oil tank.

CAUTION !
The O.W.S is designed to separate oil from water, not water from oil. i.e. if the discharge from the
O.W.S. contains excessive amounts of oil it will render the equipment useless and result in unnecessary
maintenance.

Preparation for the Operation of Pumping Bilges to the Primary Bilge Tank

a) Check strainers and strum boxes are clean.

b) Open one of the following suction valves.

Description Valve
Port forward bilge well BG009
Stbd forward bilge well BG007
Bilge hat BG005
Echo Sounder/Cofferdam Aft BG004
Aft well BG002

c) Open the bilge transfer pump suction valve from the bilge main BG341.

d) Open the bilge transfer pump discharge to the primary bilge tank BG338.

e) Start the bilge transfer pump.

2.9.1 Bilge System Page 2 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


f) Before the bilge well in use loses suction, open the valve on another well and close the one in
use.

Bilge pumping should be monitored constantly, as running dry will damage the pump.

g) When all wells are dry, stop the pump and close all valves.

Preparation for the Operation of Discharging the Bilge Tank through the O.W.S.

a) Open the following valves:

Description Valve
Inlet Valve to O.W.S. from Bilge Holding Tank BG320
Discharge valve from O.W.S. pump BG329
Overboard Discharge BG330

b) Supply power to the O.W.S.

c) Check the oil content monitor by passing fresh water through the sensor.

d) Check the reading and shut off the fresh water supply.
.
The clean exit water will be discharged overboard. Oil contamination of 15 ppm or over will automatically
recirculate back to the holding tank, through a solenoid valve, until the water is clean enough to discharge
overboard. Any oil collected at the top of the O.W.S. will be discharged to the separated bilge oil tank.

When taking suction from the bilge tank, the O.W.S. discharge pump will stop automatically when a
predetermined level is reached.

e) After completion, stop the pump and close all valves.

Any oil/water remaining can be discharged by the bilge transfer pump to the sludge discharge line by opening
valve BG340. It can be pumped to the waste oil tank, ashore or to the cargo slop tank, by means of a portable
hose.

WARNING !
Before any bilges are pumped directly overboard, it must be ensured that no local or international anti-
pollution regulations will be contravened except where safety of the ship or personnel is involved.

In Port or Coastal Waters

Any bilges which require pumping, when in port, should only be pumped to the bilge holding tank using the
engine room bilge transfer pump. The contents of the bilge holding tank can then be processed when the
vessel is in open water.

At Sea

The engine room bilges and the contents of the bilge holding tank should only be pumped overboard through
the oily water separator system. Any oil will then be separated out and discharged to the oily bilge tank and
the clean water will be discharged overboard if it is clean enough. If it is contaminated with oil, it will be
diverted automatically back to the bilge holding tank.

2.10.1 Starting Air System

Main Air Compressors


Maker: Sperre Industri A/S
No of sets: 2
Model: HV2/285
Capacity: 345 m3/h at a pressure of 30kg/cm2

The starting air system is supplied by two main starting air compressors, which supply the two main air
reservoirs. The compressed air is used to start the main engine and the three auxiliary generator engines.

The air reservoirs are supplied through an oil/water separator situated on the discharge from the compressors.
Each compressor has an automatic drain on the high pressure discharge, which opens when the compressor
stops and closes shortly after the compressor runs up to speed. This allows the compressor to start and stop off
load. The compressors are started and stopped by pressure switches situated on the inlet line to the main
reservoirs.

Starting air is supplied from the reservoirs to the main engine and to the generator engines through a separate
line from the reservoirs. The main reservoirs can supply the auxiliary engine starting air reservoir.

In dead ship conditions the main compressors can supply the auxiliary air reservoir alone, to start the generator
engines.

The main compressors are cooled by the low temperature cooling water system.

Switches at the local starter panel enable the compressors to be manually started and stopped. When in remote
operation, they can be automatically operated from the control room.

The control air and general service air systems can be supplied from the starting air system through reducing
valves. These valves are interconnected to allow either reducer to supply the control or general service
systems.

Preparation of the Starting air System

a) Ensure that all pressure gauge and instrumentation valves are open.

b) Check the oil level in the compressors.

c) Check the sump for water.

d) Only one reservoir should be in use at a time. this will maintain a reserve should a pressure loss
occur in the system.

e) Set up valves as shown in the table below:

f) Ensure that the cooling water is supplied from the low temperature cooling water system.
g) Set one air compressor to auto. The compressor will start and stop as required, controlled by
pressure switches mounted on the inlet line to the reservoirs.

h) Drain any liquid from the reservoirs and oil water reservoir.

i) Check the operation of the automatic drain traps.

j) Set the other main air compressor to stand-by.

Under normal operating conditions only one reservoir would be in use.

In emergency conditions, the main compressors can supply only the auxiliary air reservoir, which is then used
to start the generators. This is achieved by closing all the air inlet valves on the main receivers and the main
outlet valve to the generator engines AS101, then opening valve AS003.

2.11 Steering Gear

2.11.1 Steering Gear

Maker: Samsung-Hatlapa
Type: R4ST 800

The steering gear consists of four hydraulic rams driven by two electrically driven pumps. The pumps are of
the variable displacement axial piston type and are contained in their own individual oil tanks.

The steering gear is capable of operating as two totally isolated steering systems. Each pump unit is capable of
putting the rudder through the working angle in the specified time. The second pump unit can be connected at
any time by starting the motor.

The steering gear is provided with an automatic isolation system. Both hydraulic systems are interconnected by
means of electrically operated isolating valves that, in normal operation, allow both systems together to
produce the torque necessary for moving the rudder. In the event of failure that causes a loss of hydraulic fluid
from one of the systems, the float switches in the expansion tank are actuated. This gives a signal to the
isolation system, which automatically divides the steering gear into two individual systems. The defective
system is isolated, whilst the intact system remains fully operational, so that steering capability is maintained
at a reduced speed of two thirds maximum with 50% of the rudder torque.

The steering gear is remotely controlled by the auto pilot control or by hand steering from the wheelhouse.
Emergency control is carried out by the operation of the push buttons on the solenoid valves on the auto pilot
units. All orders from the bridge to the steering compartment are transmitted electrically. Steering gear
feedback transmitters supply the actual position signal for the systems. The rudder angle is limited to 35° port
or starboard.

The variable flow pumps are operated by a control lever, which activates the tilting lever of the pump cylinder,
which causes oil to be discharged to the hydraulic cylinders. When the tiller reaches the set angle, the tilting
lever is restored to the neutral position, which causes the pump to cease discharging. No.1 pump unit is
supplied with electric power from the emergency switchboard and No.2 pump unit from the main switchboard.

Under normal circumstances, all four cylinders will be in use, with one pump unit running and the second
pump unit ready to start automatically. When manoeuvring or steaming in confined waters, it is compulsory
that both pump units are running, to get the IMO recommended 28 seconds from 35° one side to 35° the other
side (with one pump in 56 seconds).

Procedure to Put the Steering Gear into Operation.

The system valves are assumed set for normal operation.

a) Check the level and condition of the oil in the tanks and refill with the correct grade as required.

b) Check that the pin in the control lever is correctly fitted.

c) Ensure the rudder is in the mid position.

d) Start the selected electro-hydraulic pump unit.

e) Carry out pre-departure tests.

f) Check for any abnormal noises. Check for any leakages and rectify if necessary.

2.11 Steering Gear Page 1 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


g) Check the operating pressures.
Automatic Isolation System

This steering gear is so arranged that in the event of a loss of hydraulic fluid from one system, the loss can be
detected and the defective system automatically isolated within 45 seconds. This allows the other actuating
system to remain fully operational with 50% torque available.

Construction

This system consists of the following equipment:


Two Isolating valves
Two Level switches with LOW & LOW-LOW level positions
An oil tank divided into two chambers for level switches and system test valves
Electric control panel for automatic isolation system
Alarm panel for automatic isolation system

Operation

If failure of one of the systems occurs, the ship's speed should be reduced, as only 50% of the torque for the
steering gear operation is available.

Failure Sequence with One Pump Running

If loss of oil occurs with No.1 pump running and No.2 pump stopped, the following sequence will take place:
a) If the oil level in No.1 oil tank goes down to the LOW position audible and visual alarms are
given on the navigating bridge and in the machinery space.
b) The solenoid valve Y2 is activated and the hydraulic system associated with No.2 pump is
isolated.
c) If the oil level goes down to the LOW-LOW position, No.1 solenoid valve Y2 is de-activated and
No.1 pump is automatically stopped. System No.2 solenoid valve is activated and No.2 pump is
automatically started. The hydraulic system associated with No.1 pump is isolated. Steering is
now being carried out by No.2 pump and its two related cylinders (No.3 & No.4).
d) If the oil loss occurs in No.2 tank, steering is continued to be carried out by No.1 pump and its two
related cylinders (No.1 & No.2) with 50% torque.

If No.2 pump is running and No.1 pump is stopped, No.1 and No.2 pumps and No.1 and No.2 isolating valves

Failure sequence with both pumps running.

If oil the level in No.1 or No.2 oil tank goes down to the LOW-LOW level, the associated isolating valve will
operate and the respective pump will be automatically stopped.

System testing

The float chamber can be isolated and drained to test the system operation. This should be carried out as part
of the pre-departure checks.

2.12.1 Diesel Generators


Maker: Wartsila
Type: 9L20C

No.of cylinders: 9
Bore: 200 mm
Stroke: 280 mm
Rating: 1896HP/1395kW at 900 rpm

Introduction

Three identical diesel generators, operating in the medium speed range, supply electrical power for the ship.

The engines are nine cylinder, turbocharged, intercooled, four stroke, in line, direct injected engines and are
normally powered by fuel oil. They can also be supplied with diesel oil, which is used for flushing through,
prior to shutting down for maintenance. The direction of rotation is clockwise (seen at the flywheel).

One diesel generator is used during normal sea going conditions. Two generators are required for:
Manoeuvring
Tank cleaning operations
Cargo discharge

Starting Air System

The engine is started by means of an air driven starter motor operating at 9 bar. When the start valve is opened
by the remote controlled solenoid, air is supplied to the air start motor. The air supply activates a piston,
causing the pinion to engage with the gear rim on the flywheel. When the pinion is fully engaged, pilot air
opens the on-off valve, which supplies air to the air start motor, causing the engine to turn.

When the revolutions exceed 115 rpm where, if conditions are normal, firing has taken place, the start valve is
closed by a relay in the electronic speed measuring system and the pinion piston and on-off valve are vented. A
return spring disengages the pinion from the flywheel and the air motor stops.

During starting a pneumatic cylinder operates a stop arm to limit the fuel-regulating shaft.

The engine can also be started locally by using the test push button on the start solenoid valve to operate the air
start sequence.

The minimum pressure required to start the engine is 7.5 bar.

The system is made up of quality components and usually requires no maintenance other than draining
condensated water from the air container drain valve.

Turbo-charger System

The engine is fitted with an exhaust gas driven turbocharger. The turbocharger draws air from the engine room
via a suction filter and passes it through a charge air cooler, before supplying the individual cylinders.

2.12 Electrical Power Generators Page 1 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Cooling Water System

All cooling water requirements for the generator engines are provided by water from the central low
temperature fresh water cooling system.The air cooler and lubricating oil cooler are supplied in series from the
system after the fresh water cooling pumps.

The engine is cooled by a closed circuit cooling water system divided into a high temperature circuit (H.T.)
and a low temperature circuit (L.T.). An engine driven pump circulates the H.T. circuit which cools the
cylinders, cylinder heads and turbocharger. A second engine driven pump circulates the L.T. system which
consists of a charge air cooler and a lube oil cooler. The L.T. system has a temperature control valve which
maintains the temperature independant of the load level.

The jacket H.T. cooling water pump discharges through the engine jacket and cylinder head cooling water
spaces and then to a thermostatically operated valve. If the temperature of the cooling water leaving the engine
is below the normal operating temperature, the thermostat will direct the cooling water back to the pump
suction. When the cooling water outlet temperature reaches operating temperature, the thermostat will begin to
direct the water to the central fresh water cooling system and the pump will partly take its suction from the
central fresh water cooling system, thus maintaining a constant temperature.

When an engine is on stand-by or prepared for operation, its jacket cooling water is heated by a
thermostatically controlled pre-heater to approximately 60-80ºC. An electrically driven circulating water
pump is used in conjunction with the electric heater. The pump discharges into the jacket cooling water pump
discharge line through a non return valve and the through the engine cooling water spaces, then back to the
pre-heater pump suction via the normal cooling water return line. Non return valves fitted to the system mean
that the engine driven pump will take over from the preheating pump automatically, without the need to open
or close valves when the engine starts. The preheating pump will similarly take over from the engine driven
pump when the engine stops.

Fuel System

The engine fuel supply rail is supplied by diesel oil or fuel oil from the engine driven fuel oil feed pump. The
high-pressure fuel injection pumps take suction from the fuel supply rail. The injection pumps deliver the fuel
oil under high pressure through the injection pipes to the injection valves. Cams on the camshaft operate the
injection pumps.
With the engine stopped, fuel will circulate along the fuel supply rail and back to the vent/return pipe. The
engine supply rail will thus be kept hot and ready for use when it is being operated on fuel oil.

The discharge of the fuel feed pump passes through a duplex fuel oil filter. Both filters are normally in use,
only shutting one off for maintenance. The generator fuel system is also fitted with a common automatic filter
which has an alarm for high differential pressure.

Excess fuel not needed by the injection pumps is passed through the overflow pipe and delivered into the
manifold, which returns it to the system. This principle ensures that:
There is always an adequately large amount of pressurised fuel available.
The heated fuel can be circulated for warming up the piping system and the injection pumps prior
to engine starting.
The necessary fuel oil temperature can be better maintained.

Lubricating Oil System

The engine running gear is force lubricated by the engine driven gear type pump. The pistons are also supplied
by oil as a cooling medium. A pre-lubrication pump is also fitted to supply oil to the bearings and other
running gear before the engine starts. This reduces wear on the engine in the period between the engine
starting and the engine driven pump building up lubricating oil pressure. The pre-lubrication pump will be
running continuously while the engine is stopped. The pump is stopped when the engine reaches 300 rpm and
is started again when the engine slows down to 300rpm by the speed measuring system.

The engine driven pump and the electrically driven pre lubrication pump both take suction from the engine
sump and discharge through a cooler and filters to the engine oil supply rail. A control valve on the pump
discharge relieves any excess pressure back to the sump. The temperature is controlled by a three way
temperature control valve, which regulates how much of the oil passes through the cooler. The turbo-charger is
supplied from the main L.O. circuit via a pipe.

The cooler is a tube stack made of copper nickel, within a jacket made of cast iron. The oil flows outside the
tubes while the cooling water flows inside the tubes. The tube stack is fixed at one end while the other is
movable in a longitudinal direction to allow for expansion.

The main L.O. filter is supplemented by a by-pass centrifugal filter mounted at the engine base frame. During
operation part of the lubrication oil supplied from the engine driven L.O. pump enters the centrifugal filter and
returns to the oil sump in the base frame. The filter is driven by the oil supply. The filter relies on centrifugal
force and can remove high-density sub micron particles.

Procedure to Prepare a Diesel Generator for Starting.

a) Set up the fuel oil service system as described in section 2.6.2.

b) Check that both L.T. and H.T. cooling water systems are in correct running order (correct

grade of oil.

d) Prime the fuel oil system.

e) Ensure the generator engine pre-lubricating oil pump is set to automatic operation and check that
the lubricating oil pressure has built up to approximately 0.5 bar. The engine should be
prelubricated at least 2 minutes prior to start.

f) Check the pressure before and after the L.O. filters.

g) Check that the starting air pressure exceeds 7.5 bar.

h) Check that the starting air is drained of condensate.

i) Turn the engine at least 2 complete revolutions using the turning gear with the cylinder indicator
cocks open or purge the cylinders by inducing a start procedure with the stop lever in the stop

2.12.2 Emergency Diesel Generator

Introduction

Engine
Maker: Ssangyong-Cummins 6 Cylinder
Model: KTA-19-G3
Output: 620HP at a continuous speed of 1800rpm

Generator
Maker: Leroy Somer
Model: LSA 471L
Output: 500kVA/400kW

The emergency diesel generator is a self-contained diesel engine located on the starboard side of A deck.

The generator set will start automatically on power failure of the main diesel generators and couple to the
emergency switchboard automatically to maintain supplies to essential services. The generator set will also be
used to get the ship under power from 'dead ship' condition. It will enable power to be supplied to essential
services selectively without the need for external services such as starting air, fuel oil supply and cooling
water.

The engine is an in line 6 cylinder turbocharged engine with a self contained cooling water system. The
cooling water is radiator cooled and circulated by an engine driven pump. A thermostat maintains a water
outlet temperature of 82oC to 93oC. Air is drawn across the radiator by an engine driven fan.

The cooling water is circulated by an engine driven pump, which also supplies cooling water to the lubricating
oil cooler. An electric heater is fitted to keep the cooling water at 40oC to 50oC when the engine is on
automatic stand-by.

The engine running gear is force lubricated. The engine driven gear pump draws oil from the integral sump
and pumps it through the cooler and then through a filter before supplying to the lubricating oil rail.

The engine is normally started by means of an electric starter motor. Power to the motor being supplied by
batteries, which are on constant charge while the ship is in service. A hydraulic starter is also fitted, hydraulic
power being manually generated by a hand pump. An accumulator is charged by a hand pump, which drives a
hydraulic motor on the flywheel when the stored energy is released. This system can be utilised when starting
the engine from the dead ship condition. The engine can be manually started locally using either the electric or
hydraulic starter motor, but when switched to automatic operation, only the electric starter motor is utilised.

The engine should be started once a week and run up to full load monthly. Whenever the engine has been
started, the diesel oil tank must be checked and refilled if the level has dropped to or below the '24 hour
operation' level.

2.13.1 Distribution and Loading

Generating Plant

The electric power generating plant consists of the following:

Diesel Generators

No. of sets: 3
Rating: 450 volt, 3ph, 60 Hz, 1300 kW

Emergency Diesel Generator

No. of sets: 1
Rating: 450 volt, 3ph, 60 Hz, 400 kW

Introduction

Only one diesel generator is normally used during normal sea going conditions. Two generators are required
when:
Manoeuvring
Cargo loading
Cargo discharging
Tank cleaning

The emergency generator has sufficient capacity to supply the auxiliaries required to start a main diesel
generator in the event of total power failure. All three main generators can operate in parallel, but not with the
emergency generator.

Power Distribution System

General Description

The main switchboard consists of:


Three generator panels
A synchronising panel
Bus tie panel
Two group starter panels
Two 440V feeder panels
A 220V feeder panel

2.13 Electrical Power Distribution Page 1 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


The emergency switchboard consists of:
The emergency generator panel
A shore power instrument panel
An emergency group starter panel
A 440V feeder panel
A 220V feeder panel

The main switchboard feeds the emergency switchboard, which is situated in the emergency switchboard
room. The main switchboard 220 volt section is fed from the 440 volt switchboard via two transformers.

The emergency generator will start automatically in the event of a blackout and feed the emergency
switchboard.

A power management system controls the starting, stopping, connection and load sharing of the generators. If
a failure occurs and one of the generators sheds non-essential loads, another generator(s) will auto start and
reconfigure the power distribution.

Group starter and distribution boards are provided in suitable positions to supply the various power, heating,
lighting, communication and navigation equipment throughout the vessel.

The large motors and group starter panels are supplied from the 440 volt switchboard directly. Power for other
smaller power consuming devices are supplied from the 440 volt switchboard through group starter or
distribution panels.

Each distribution circuit is protected against overcurrent and short circuit current, by a moulded case circuit
breaker fitted on the switchboard or panel board, with inverse time overcurrent trip and instantaneous trip.
Each steering gear motor is fed from an independent circuit, one steering gear motor being connected to the
main switchboard and the other being connected to the emergency switchboard. A general service 24 volt
battery charging switchboard supplies the engine and wheel house consoles, along with other essential low
voltage services.

Each supply system is provided with a device for continuously monitoring the insulation level to earth, giving
an audible and visual indication of an abnormal low insulation level.

A shore connection is provided to supply power to the main 440V switchboard.

Switchboards

The switchboards are of dead front box frame construction without a bottom plate and have hinged front
panels that can be opened without disturbing the meters, pilot lamps, etc. mounted on them. Bus bars, cubicle
rows and tiers are segregated so that a fault in one cubicle cannot spread to another. A synchronising panel is
supplied on the switchboard. The generator circuit breakers are of the air circuit breaker type.

Draft Issue 1 2.13.1 Distribution and Loading Page 2


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Feeder Circuit Breakers

The feeder circuits supplied from the 440V feeder panel of the switchboard are protected by a moulded case
circuit breaker with inverse time thermal over current trip, instantaneous magnetic trip and short circuit current
interruption features.

The AC 220V feeder circuit is protected by a moulded case circuit breaker with inverse time, thermal over
current trip, instantaneous magnetic trip and short circuit current interruption features.

The moulded case circuit breakers for the main & emergency switchboards are of the plug-in type, so that the
breakers may be removed from the panel front without de-energising the main bus bar. However, the moulded
case circuit breakers for group starter panels and distribution panels are of the fixed type.

Automatic Synchronising Control

An automatically controlled synchronising apparatus, which consists of the automatic speed matcher and the
automatic synchroniser, is provided for the ship's service generator sets. The automatic speed matcher
equalises the generator frequency with busbar frequency.

The automatic synchroniser energises the air circuit breaker to connect two circuits in parallel at the moment
when the phases coincide.

Automatic Power and Frequency Control

An automatically controlled power and frequency control system is provided for each ship's service generator.

The power management system controls the effective output of the generators operated in parallel.

The power management system also controls the following:

The number of running generators in accordance with the ship's power demand.
The blocking of large motors until the number of running generators is sufficient to supply the motor
start current and ship’s demand. In this case, the first standby generator is started and synchronised
automatically.

Motors

The 440 volt motors, in general, are of the squirrel cage induction type with a standard frame designed for AC
440V three phase 60 Hz. The exceptions are the motors for domestic service and small capacity motors of 0.4
kW or less.

Where continuous rated motors are used, the overload setting ensures the motor trips at 100% of the full load
current. The motors in the engine room are of the totally enclosed fan cooled type.

Stand-by motors will start when no voltage is detected on the in service motor or when the process pressure is
low.

2.13.1 Distribution and Loading Page 3 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


440 Volt Starters

The starters are generally constructed in group control panels and power distribution panels. The drawings for
the starter circuit are enclosed in a vinyl envelope and kept in a pocket inside each starter panel.

Large motor starters are arranged in group starter panels on the main switch board, with duplicated equipment
starters split between each of the main switchboard group starter panels. The control voltage of the starters is
AC 110V. Interlocked door isolators are provided for all starters. For group starters, this switch is of the
moulded case circuit breaker which functions as both disconnecting means and overcurrent protection of the
motor circuit.

Sequential Re-start

See section 2.13.5

Essential service motors, which were in service before the blackout, are started automatically on recovery of
the main bus voltage. These motors are classified into groups (consistent with voltage dip and over current) to
the generator and will start according to the predetermined restarting sequence. Motors that were selected for
duty before the blackout are automatically returned to duty after the blackout. Similarly, motors selected for
standby are automatically returned to standby.

Preference Trip

See section 2.13.5

Non-essential loads are interrupted automatically, in case of over current of any one of the main diesel
generators, to prevent the ship's power failure.

Procedure for the Manual Operation of Generators - PMS in Local Control Mode

1. Instruments and Control Devices

The generator panels are equipped with an ammeter and voltmeter to measure the output of the generator. The
air circuit breaker, reverse power relay and over current relay are provided for generator protection.

The synchronising panel is equipped with a double frequency-meter, double voltmeter VAr meters and
wattmeters for comparing the output of the generator to the busbar. A synchroscope and synchronising lamps
are provided for parallel operation.

2. Engine Starting and Stopping

The engine can be remotely started by a switch on the synchronising panel as follows.

a) Switch the MAN/AUTO switch to MANUAL.

b) Start the generator using the synchronising panel START switch. Observe the running lamp and
voltmeter.

c) To stop the engine, operate the engine STOP switch.

Draft Issue 1 2.13.1 Distribution and Loading Page 4


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


3. Single Generator Running procedure - on to dead bus:

a) Start the engine as before. When voltage is established, the running lamp will be illuminated.

b) At the rated speed the voltage will rise to 440 volts, as indicated by the voltmeter.

c) Adjust the frequency to 60 Hz by means of the governor RAISE/LOWER switch. The rated
values are indicated by red marks on the corresponding meters.

d) Operate the ACB CLOSE switch.

4. Stopping of Generator

In order to stop the generator in operation, first reduce its load it by stopping the auxiliary machinery and then
turn the ACB switch to OPEN.

Avoid opening the ACB when the generator is on load, as it will cause an instantaneous rise in the engine
speed and possible overspeed trip.

5. Parallel Running procedure:

a) Start the second generator by following the same procedure as for starting the first generator.

b) After confirmation of the voltage of the second generator, align the frequency with that of the
running generator.

c) Once the voltage and frequency of both generators are identical, change over the synchroscope to
the incoming generator and check the synchronous state by means of the synchroscope. The
pointer needle will revolve in accordance with the difference in frequency.

d) Check the direction of rotation. If it is revolving in the FAST direction, turn the governor switch
of the second generator to the LOWER direction. If it is revolving in the SLOW direction, then
turn the governor switch to the RAISE direction.

e) Adjust the speed until the synchroscope pointer moves to the 12 o’clock position, showing the
state of synchronisation.

f) It is ideal to close the air circuit breaker when the pointer of the synchroscope turns in the FAST
direction and is closing on the black mark at the centre (5 minutes to noon!). SLOW side turning
may cause operation of the reverse power relay. If the frequency difference between the two
generators in parallel operation exceeds 3Hz, the synchroscope will not revolve. With this in
mind, operate the governor RAISE/LOWER switch to decrease this difference. Observe the
bus/incoming generator frequency meter for reference.

g) Operate the ACB CLOSE switch.

2.13.1 Distribution and Loading Page 5 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


6. Load Sharing

a) Having achieved parallel operation, load sharing is accomplished by increasing the input from the
incoming engine. This is increased by means of the governor switch. This speeds up the incoming
generator, causing the first generator to lose load and gain speed, thus causing the frequency to
rise. To prevent this, the governor switch of the first generator must be turned in the LOWER
direction. This action also causes the load to be transferred to the incoming generator. Ensure the
frequency remains constant during this operation.

b) Equalise the load of both generators.

7. Synchronising Lamps

If the synchroscope fails, only the synchronising lamps can detect the synchronising condition.

When the order of illumination of the synchronising lamps is clockwise, the frequency of the generator is
higher then that of the bus. Turn the generator governor motor switch in the decelerating LOWER direction.

When the order in which the lamps brighten is counter clockwise, the frequency of the generator is lower then
that of the bus. Turn the governor motor switch in the accelerating RAISE direction. When the top lamp has
gone off and the two bottom lamps are the same intensity, synchronisation (phase matching) has been
accomplished. Slightly in advance of this position, close the ACB for the incoming generator in order to attain
synchronism just when the main contacts of the ACB close.

8. Generator Space Heaters

A space heater is provided in each generator to prevent condensation forming on the windings. The space
heater switch is located on the individual generator panel and should always be in the ON position. The heater
is interlocked with the ACB, which switches the heater off when closed and switches it on when opened.

Automatic Operation of Main Switchboard and Generators

The Automatic starting, connection, synchronising and loading of the main generators is controlled by the
power management system (PMS) This system is described in depth in section 3.1.

Maker: Lyngso Marine


Type: PMS 2100

The PMS is controlled and monitored from various positions around the ship. The bridge and engine control
room have a basic alarm panel and a graphic operator station(s). The position of these can be seen from
illustration 3.1.1a.

There are 11 alarm panels throughout the accommodation in key personnel cabins. The general office
and the main switchboard room have graphic operator stations only.

The PMS is an integral part of the UCS 2100 Universal Alarm and Control system fitted to the ship. The
system is made up of basic control modules which are standard function blocks controlling individual items of
equipment. eg: one generator, one heavy consumer. They are allocated a machinery group and a controlling
PLC.

The three function blocks for the generators have the following I.D.s:

NAME I.D. MACHINERY GROUP PLC NO,

Diesel Generator 1 DG1 6 1


Diesel Generator 2 DG2 7 2
Diesel Generator 3 DG3 8 3

When the main switchboard is set to automatic, the PMS controls the operation of all the control, monitoring
and alarm functions of the three generators.

To fulfil the requirements for UMS operation, the system controls the following features:
Automatic black out start of stand-by generator(s)
Automatic synchronising
Automatic frequency control
Automatic load sharing
Sequential restart of essential consumers
Automatic generator start and connection in response to heavy consumer request
Automatic generator start/shutdown in response to high/low load conditions

Preselection of the master and stand by generator priority is carried out at the graphic operator stations (GOS)

PMS Operation modes

The PMS system has several operating modes selected at the graphic operator stations:
Local control
Manual control of generators
Black out start
PMS semi-automatic
PMS automatic

In local control there is no PMS operation. Manual control allows the manual start/stop and connection of
generators from the graphic operator stations. The PMS semi-automatic mode is for operator supervised
operation whilst the automatic mode is for full UMS operation.

Local Control

When the local control is selected for a generator set, the PMS has no control of the generating set. The
auxiliary engine is operated locally and the main breaker is operated from the M.S.B. The diesel generator
local control is selected by means of the LOCAL/REMOTE blocking switch on the auxiliary engine.

Manual Control of Auxiliary Engine

When the auxiliary engine is in remote control but the main switchboard control is set to manual for a
generator set, the diesel starter can only start and stop the auxiliary engine. No synchronising or any other
functions are available. The main breaker is manually operated from the M.S.B. The diesel generator manual
operation is selected by means of the MANUAL/AUTO selector switch on the main switchboard.

Procedure for PMS Automatic Operation of Generators and Main Switchboard

1. Generator Starting

It is assumed the ship is in normal voyage/in port conditions ie: one generator on load, PMS in semi-automatic
mode and start requested by an operator at a General Operator Station (G.O.S.).

PMS will initiate the following sequence:

a) Engine starts.

b) Voltage build-up detected.

c) Automatic synchronisation.
s
d) ACB closes.

e) Automatic load sharing on.

The following procedures take place when the PMS system is in automatic mode.

2. Automatic Parallel Running Activated by Heavy Load

If the generator in use registers a high load of 1170 kW (90% of the rated power), for 30 seconds, the first
standby generator will go through the following sequence:

a) Engine starts.

b) Voltage build-up detected.

c) Automatic synchronisation.

d) ACB closes.

e) Automatic load sharing on.

If the first standby generator fails to start or the ACB fails to close, the second standby generator will start and
follow the above sequence.

3. Automatic Parallel Run Activated by Heavy Consumer Request

If a start request is received from a heavy consumer (eg: fire/ballast pump), the first standby generator will go
through the following sequence:

a) PMS signals start preparation at the heavy consumer (flashing yellow lamp), engine starts.

b) Voltage build up detected.

c) Automatic synchronisation.

e) ACB closes.

f) Automatic load sharing on.

g) PMS starts heavy consumer.

4. Automatic Parallel Run Cancellation by Light Load

If the total load on the main switchboard is less than 1200kW for five minutes when running on two
generators, or less than 2400 kW for five minutes when running on three generators, the following sequence
takes place:

a) The generator to be released will shed load to the other generator(s).

b) The opening of the ACB of the generator to be released.

c) The engine stops on the generator released.

5. Automatic Bus Connection due to Main Switchboard Trip Condition

If, due to a trip condition, the bus voltage has become zero by the opening of the ACB of the generator in use,
the first stand by generator will go through the following sequence:

a) Engine starts.

b) Voltage build up detected.

c) ACB closes.

If the first stand by generator fails to start or the ACB fails to close, the second stand by generator will start
and follow the above sequence.

6. Automatic Change Over by Bus Abnormality

Bus abnormalities:

Low voltage: 422.4V for 5 seconds High voltage: 466.4V for 5 seconds
Low frequency: 57Hz for 5 seconds High frequency: 63Hz for 5 seconds

If a bus abnormality is detected when a single generator is running, the first standby generator will go through
the following sequence:

a) Engine starts, alarm raised.

b) Voltage build up detected.

c) ACB opens on the abnormal generator.

d) Black-out.

e) ACB closes on the first stand by generator.

If the first stand by generator fails to start or the ACB fails to close, the second stand by generator will start
and follow the above sequence.

7. Automatic Parallel Running by ACB Tripping

If two generators are running in parallel and the ACB of one generator trips, providing the load on the
connected generator exceeds 1170 kW (90% of the rated power), the second standby generator will go through
the following sequence:

a) Engine starts.

b) Voltage build up detected.

c) Automatic synchronisation.

d) ACB closes.

e) Automatic load sharing on.

The above sequence is also carried out when activated by a fire alarm.

8. Automatic Parallel Running due to Overcurrent

If the current on a running generator exceeds 2000 Amps for a period exceeding three seconds, the next
standby generator will go through the following sequence:

a) Engine starts.

b) Voltage build-up detected.

c) Automatic synchronisation.

d) ACB closes.

e) Automatic load sharing on.

9. Automatic Change Over by Pre-shutdown Alarm on Running Generator

If a Lube oil inlet low pressure or an H.T. water high temperature pre-shutdown alarm occurs on the running
generator, the first stand by generator will go through the following sequence:

a) Engine starts.

b) Voltage build-up detected.

c) Automatic synchronisation.

d) ACB closes.

e) Complete load transfer to incoming generator.

f) ACB opens on abnormal generator.

g) Abnormal generator stopped.

Generator Protection Equipment

The generator is protected from the abnormal conditions described below by means of the reverse power trip,
short circuit trip, under voltage trip and overcurrent trips.

1. Abnormality Due to Under Voltage

If the voltage of a generator decreases to less than 50% of the rated value, the under voltage tripping device
contained in the air circuit breaker will operate to trip the breaker. If a short-circuit fault occurs, the generator
voltage will lower and may cause the under voltage tripping device (U.V.T.) to operate. With this in mind, a
time delay device (of about 0.5 seconds) has been fitted to the undervoltage device to prevent the ACB from
tripping immediately, allowing the defective system circuit breaker to operate first.

2. Abnormality Due to Over Current (preference tripping)

If the current on a running generator exceeds 2502 Amps for a period of 10 seconds, the overcurrent relay
will initiate the release of the preferential tripping, thereby providing protection against the overcurrent
which would otherwise trip the ACB.

3. Abnormality Due to Over Current (long time delay trip)

If the current on a running generator exceeds 2752 Amps for a period of 40 seconds, the over current relay will
operate to trip the ACB.

4. Abnormality Due to Overcurrent (short time delay) or Short Circuit

If the generator current exceeds 300% of the maximum rated current (6250 Amps), the ACB will be tripped
almost instantaneously (about 400msec) by the short time delay trip fitted to the ACB. If the current exceeds
1000% of maximum rated current (20850 Amps) the ACB will trip instantaneously (zero time delay).

5. Abnormality Due to Reverse Power

If there are abnormalities in the output of an engine during parallel operation, it may cause the generator to
function as a motor, due to the power it receives from the other generator(s) through the common busbar. The
effective reverse power will then flow through the connected circuit. If this reverse power reaches a level of
130kW, the reverse power relay is triggered and will trip the ACB after a time delay of 5 seconds.

6.Emergency Generator Abnormality Due to Overcurrent

If the current on the running generator exceeds 110% of the maximum rated current (706 Amps) for 40
seconds the overcurrent relay will operate to trip the generator ACB.

7. Emergency Generator Abnormality Due to Overcurrent (short time delay) or Short Circuit

If the generator current exceeds 300% of maximum rated current (1926A) the ACB will be tripped almost
instantaneously (about 400msec) by the short time delay trip fitted to the ACB. If the current exceeds 1000%
of maximum rated current (6420 Amps) the ACB will trip instantaneously (zero time delay).

The emergency generator ACB is also fitted with an undervoltage device identical in operation to the main
generators.

2.13.2 Shore Power

A shore connection box is provided in the emergency generator room to accept power cables during refit. The
shore connection box connects, via a breaker, to the main switchboard 440V section. The maximum current is
800 amps. The emergency switchboard can then be supplied as normal through the emergency switchboard tie
breaker.

A phase sequence monitoring system is fitted. The sequence should be checked before connecting shore power
to the main switchboard. If the phase sequence is correct the NORMAL indicator lamp will illuminate. If the
sequence is found to be incorrect the ABNORMAL lamp will illuminate. In this case the shore supply must be
isolated and two supply phases changed over. The supply should then be reinstated and the phase sequence
checked again.

A kWh meter, a pilot lamp, indicating shore power is available and circuit breaker position indicator lamps are
provided on the emergency switchboard to monitor the supply.

The shore power breaker is rated for 440V AC, 3ph, 60Hz, 800A.

Interlocking is provided to prevent the shore supply being paralleled with any other supply.

Procedure for the Operation of Shore Power Reception.

a) The emergency generator should be run up and connected to the emergency switchboard. This
will provide essential services and emergency lighting during the changeover.

b) Open ACB2 at the emergency switchboard (the main switchboard interconnector). The main and
emergency switchboards are now seperate.

c) When it is intended to receive power from the shore, confirm the POWER AVAILABLE light is
on.

d) Isolate all non-essential services, including sequential re-start.

e) Check the shore supply voltage.

f) Check the phase sequence.

g) Check the frequency of the shore power.

h) Open all generator ACBs.

i) Close the breaker for shore power at the emergency switchboard


j) Close the emergency switchboard tie breaker at the main switchboard. This breaker is interlocked
and cannot be closed if the main switchboard is live. Conversely, if the shore power is supplying
the feeder panel no generator ACB can be closed.

k) Open the emergency generator ACB. Close the bus tie-breaker on the emergency switchboard.

l) Proceed to supply essential services such as fire detection, lighting etc.


m) If no maintenance is scheduled for the emergency generator, it may be shut down and left on auto
standby.

2.13.3 Main Alternators

Maker: Hyundai Heavy Industries


Type : HFJ5 634-84E-0W
Output capacity 1300kW at 450V

General Description

Three main diesel generators are provided. Each alternator is rated at 1300kW at 450 volts AC, 3ph, 60Hz.
They are of the totally enclosed, self excited, brushless type. The load voltage is kept constant by controlling
the excitation current to the exciter. Output power from the stator is fed into a current/voltage compound
transformer and the output of this is fed through the exciter stator windings. The magnetic field in the exciter
stator induces AC in the excited rotor, which is rectified by the rotating three phase bridge connected rectifier
set and passed to the DC main rotor windings. Initial voltage build-up is by residual magnetism in the rotor.
Constant voltage control is achieved by the automatic voltage regulator, which shunts a variable current
through the exciter windings, via a thyristor, to keep the AC stator output voltage constant.

Passing air over an integral fresh water cooler, using a closed circuit air supply, cools the generator. The
cooling spaces are fitted with internal baffles to prevent water reaching the stator windings in the event of
cooler leakage. Space heaters are fitted, which are energised when the generator circuit breakers are open,
which protects against internal condensation during shut down periods. The breakers are normally operated by
the automatic power management system, but can be operated manually at the main switchboard front. An
embedded sensor monitors the stator temperature in each phase, A water leakage detector and temperature
sensor are also fitted in each air cooler. The two main bearings have temperature sensors.

The electric power system is designed with discrimination on the distribution system, so that the generator
breaker is the last to open if any abnormalities occur.

One diesel generator provides electrical power under normal conditions at sea, with the remaining two on
standby. The priority order of the standby generator is selected using the PMS system described in detail in
sections 3 and 2.13.

The starting of large motors is blocked until there is sufficient power available. Another diesel generator will
be started on request to meet the shortfall.

Two generators will be required to operate in parallel when:

2.13.4 Emergency Alternator

Maker: Leroy Somer


Type LSA471L
Output capacity 500kVA 400kW at 450V

General Description

A self-contained emergency diesel generator, rated at 400kW, is fitted in the emergency switchboard room for
use in an emergency or in refit. The generator is the self excited, brushless type and can be set for manual or
automatic operation. Auto will be normally selected, with the manual setting being used for testing the
generator.

The emergency switchboard is normally supplied from the main switchboard. When auto is selected, the
emergency generator is started automatically by detecting no-voltage on the emergency switchboard bus bar.
The emergency generator air circuit breaker will connect automatically to the emergency switchboard after
confirming the continuation of no-voltage.

The emergency generator is designed to restore power to the emergency switchboard within 45 seconds. The
bus tie breaker on the emergency switchboard, which feeds from the main switchboard, is opened
automatically when no-voltage is detected on the main switchboard.

The generator is fitted with space heaters to prevent condensation when the generator is stationary or idling.
The heater is interlocked with the air circuit breaker.

The generator is capable of starting the plant from dead ship condition.

Voltage (equalising) 28V
Current: 40A
Rating: Continuous
Equalising charge time: 8 hours

The 24V charge and discharge board is provided with a charger to allow the equalising and floating charge of
the batteries in order to supply power to the emergency systems, communication equipment, alarms, etc.

The battery charger 440V supply is from the emergency switchboard 440V feeder section.

The board contains the following equipment:


24V System DC voltmeter, ammeter and Insulation meter
Earth lamps and test switch
Isolation switch
Mimic panel
Alarm function test facility

The charger is fitted with a battery voltage monitoring facility which will raise an alarm if the battery voltage
falls below a preset level or the battery current rises above a preset level. The unit is also fitted with charger
failure, mains failure and earth fault alarms.

The charger has remote group alarms for ‘abnormal battery charging’ and ‘24V DC low insulation’. These
alarm at the main switchboard.

The board should be regularly inspected for earths on the outgoing circuits by operation of the the earth lamps.

When an earth is present on an outgoing circuit, one of the lamps will glow brighter than the other. Careful
isolation of the outgoing circuits (mindful of essential consumers), will locate the faulty circuit, the lamps
returning to their normal equal brilliance once the faulty circuit is isolated.

Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Operating Procedure

The battery charger is a fully automatic charging device which serves for the automatic charging of the 24V
storage battery.

The charger has a facility on the mimic panel to adjust the charging voltage, This, however, should not be
altered once the charger has been commissioned.

Floating charge

While the storage battery is fully charged, it is normally subjected to a floating charge. In this condition, the
charger supplies the 24V system with power. During periods of high demand and failure of the power source
the battery will take over. A constant voltage is applied to the battery, and the charging current will vary
according to charged state of the battery thus always maintaining the battery in the fully charged state. In this
arrangement, a constant voltage is normally applied to the battery by the automatic voltage regulator (AVR)
regardless of load variation, power variation, ambient temperature change, etc. The charge and discharge
performed after the recovery from a power interruption is subjected to automatic control by the drooping
device, which holds the battery charging current below a fixed current, thus preventing it from becoming
excessively large.

If the battery has been subjected to a period of duty due to power failure, on restoration of the power supply,
the battery charger is automatically transferred to equalising charge and rapidly charges the battery. As soon as
the battery becomes fully charged, it reverts to floating charge.

Maintenance

The system is designed for continuous operation and is practically maintenance free. However the unit should
be kept clean and dry and a visual inspection of connection integrity, cable condition etc, made once a year. At
this time the charging voltage should be checked using a high quality digital voltmeter.

The battery should be kept clean and dry. The battery poles and connections must be kept covered with acid
free vaseline. The cell voltages should be checked and logged once a month and the connection terminals
checked for tightness once a year.

2.13.8 Cathodic Protection System

Maker : Korea Cathelco Ltd.


Type: Impressed Current
Power Supply: AC 440V, 60Hz, 3ph

The vessel is provided with an impressed current cathodic protection system. This method of corrosion
protection automatically controls electrochemical corrosion of the ship’s hull structure below the water line.
Cathodic protection can be compared to a simple battery cell, consisting of two plates in an electrolyte. One of
the battery plates in the electrolyte will waste away through the action of the flow of electrical current if the
two battery electrodes are connected electrically. The metal to be protected, in this case, the ship’s hull, acts as
the battery anode, the sea water being the electrolyte. If an external flow of current is impressed to reverse the
normal flow in the battery, then the anode now acts as a cathode and ceases to waste away. In essence, this is
how an impressed current cathodic protection system functions. When a vessel is fitted with I.C.C.P.
(Impressed Current Cathodic Protection) the hull steel is maintained at an electrical potential more negative
that the surrounding seawater.

For this reason, terminals normally comply with the ISGOTT Recommendation 20.6, Earthing, Bonding and
Cathodic Protection, which states, referring to IMO recommendations for the safe transport, handling and
storage of dangerous substances in port areas, that ship shore bonding cables should be discouraged. High
currents that can occur in earthing cables and metallic connections are avoided. These are due to potential
differences between ship and terminal structure particularly due to the residual potential difference that can
exist for up to 24 hours after the shipboard I.C.C.P. has been switched off. These terminals usually utilise
insulating flanges on hose connections to electrically isolate the ship and terminal structure.

During preparations for berthing at terminals where such insulation is not employed, or where earth
connections are mandatory by local regulation, or when bunker barges come alongside, the I.C.C.P. should be
switched off at least 24 hours in advance.

Fresh water operation

When the vessel enters a river estuary the fresh or brackish water may limit the spread of current from the
anodes, due to the higher resistance of the water. Normally this would cause the voltage output to increase to
compensate for this. This would be accompanied by very low current levels and the reference electrode
potentials may indicate under protection. However, in this system, the output is taken care of by the computer
and the system will automatically return the hull to the optimum protective level when the vessel returns to sea
water.

Operation

Protection is achieved by passing low voltage DC current between the hull metal and anodes, insulated from
the hull, but in contact with the seawater. The electrical potential of the hull is maintained more negative than
the anodes, i.e. cathodic. In this condition corrosion is minimised. Careful control is necessary over the flow of
impressed current, which will vary with the ship’s speed, salinity and temperature of the seawater and the
condition of the hull paint work. If the potential of the hull is made too negative with respect to the anode,
then damage to the paint film can occur electrolytically or through the evolution of hydrogen gas between hull
steel and paint. The system on this vessel controls the impressed electrical current automatically to ensure
optimum protection. Current is fed through 6 titanium electrodes situated forward and aft of the ship. The
titanium prevents the anodes themselves from corroding and the anode surfaces are streamlined into the hull.
Fixed zinc reference electrodes forward and aft are used to compare the potential of the hull with that normally
found between unprotected steel and zinc electrodes. Sufficient current is impressed via the anodes to reduce
this to a level of between 150 and 250 mV.

Draft Issue 1 2.13.8 Cathodic Protection System Page 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Electrical Installation

Two sub-systems consisting of a Controller Power Unit, reference electrodes and anodes are installed, one
forward and one aft. They are data connected to a central remote monitoring unit mounted in the ECR. System
status readings are available at the monitoring unit and these should be inspected and logged each day.

These control units are also equipped with an alarm to give warning of any system abnormalities.

Aft System

The aft system has a power supply and control unit fitted in the engine room which feeds four 225A anodes,
two port and two starboard. The control unit receives reference levels from two reference cells, one port and
one starboard.

The aft unit is supplied from engine room 440V distribution board 4PD.

Forward System

The forward system has a power supply and control unit fitted in the bosun’s store which feeds two 75A
anodes, one port and one starboard. The control unit receives reference levels from two reference cells, one
port and one starboard.

The forward unit is supplied from No.10 L.G.S.P. focsle 440V distribution board.

Propeller and Rudder Stock Earthing

To avoid electrolytic corrosion of shaft bearings and rudder stock, brushes are fitted and bonded to the ship's
structure. In the case of the shaft, a slip ring is clamped to the shaft and is earthed to the hull via brushes. A
second set of brushes, insulated from earth, monitors the shaft mV potential and this signal is fed to a millivolt
meter. To ensure efficient bonding, the slip ring should be cleaned on a regular basis.
The rudder stock is earthed via a 70mm2 flexible earth cable between the deck head and rudder stock to
minimise any electrolytic potential across bearings and bushes.

Routine checks

a) Record the total current on a daily basis.

b) Check the reference electrode voltage on a daily basis.

c) Check and clean the propellor shaft slip ring and brushes every month.

d) Inspect the rudder stock earth strap every month.

e) Inspect and clean control unit cooling fans and grills every three months.

Sacrificial Anodes

Sacrificial zinc anodes are provided within water ballast tanks including the fore peak tank. Aluminium anodes
are fitted to the rudder and sea chests

The two domestic F.W. tanks are normally filled from the F.W. generator, but can also be filled from shore
through a deck filling connection. Normally one domestic tank is in use, with the second being filled or ready
for use.

From the F.W. generator, the water delivery to the tanks passes through an ion type sterilising unit, in which
the water is dosed with minute levels of silver ions. As the water passes between two electrodes through which
a small current is passed, the ions are released and sterilise the water. Sterilisation by this method ensures that
the water is maintained in a good condition, even when stored in the tanks for a period of time. The silver
electrodes should be inspected and changed when all the silver coating has depleted. The dosing of the water
is automatic and is set depending on the flow of the water.

There are two domestic F.W. pumps which take suction from the domestic tanks. It is also possible to use the
distilled water by removing the blank and opening the valve in the connecting line between the two sets of
tanks.

CAUTION !
If distilled water tanks are to be used to supply the domestic system ensure no chemicals are present
from the feed system, and do not use as drinking water.

The domestic F.W. system is pressurised at all times through a hydrophore tank. This tank is filled by the
domestic F.W. pumps and pressurised by air supply to 6.0kg/cm2. As the water is used, the tank pressure drops
allowing one of the pumps to start automatically and refill the tank. As the pressure increases, the pump will
auto stop. One pump is normally in use, with the second pump shut down.

From the hydrophore tank the water flows into three systems:
Drinking water system
Domestic hot water system
E.R. services

Drinking Water System

This system covers the water supply to drinking fountains and accommodation.

As water produced in the F.W. generator is distilled, this is not satisfactory for drinking. From the hydrophore
tank, the water flows through a rehardening filter, in which the water flows over a special filter to allow its pH
value to increase (between 7 - 10). This system uses the pressure of the hydrophore tank for supply.

Domestic Hot Water System

This system supplies the hot water to the accommodation for domestic purposes.

Water is circulated continuously by one of two hot water circulating pumps. One being in use and the second
shut down ready for use. The water is passed through a calorifier, which can be either steam or electrically
heated to raise the water to the correct temperature. Top up to the system is from the hydrophore tank.

2.14.2 Domestic Refrigeration Systems

Introduction

Cooling for the meat, fish, vegetable and dairy rooms are provided by a direct expansion R-22 system.

The plant is situated on the second deck level in the engine room. The plant and is automatic and consists of
two compressors, two condensers and an evaporator coil in each of the four cold rooms.

Air in the cold rooms is circulated through the evaporator coils by electrically driven fans.

The meat room and fish room evaporators are equipped with a timer controlled electric defrosting element.
The frequency of defrosting is chosen by means of a timed defrosting relay built into the starter panel.

Under normal conditions one compressor/condenser unit is in operation, with the other on standby but on
manual start up, with all valves shut until required.

During pull-down operation two condensing units may be used with full opening of refrigerant line valves to
ensure rapid achievment of the desired temperature.

The compressor draws R- 22 vapour from the cold room cooling coils and pumps it under pressure to the Low
Temperature Fresh Water cooled condenser where the vapour is condensed.

The liquid refrigerant is returned through a dryer unit and filtered to the cold room evaporators.

A heat exchanger is fitted between the evaporator and compressor to remove some heat out of the vapour
returning to the compressor, thereby assisting the efficiency of the overall system.

The compressors are protected by high pressure, low pressure, low lubricating oil pressure and cooling water
failure cut-out switches. Each unit is also fitted with a crankcase heater.

A thermostat in each room enables a temperature regulating device to operate the solenoid valves
independently, so as to reduce the number of starts and running time of the compressor.

The air coolers accept the refrigerant as it expands into a super cooled vapour, under the control of the
expansion valves. This vapour is then returned to the compressor through the non return valves.

When all the solenoid valves at the air coolers are closed by the room thermostats, the low pressure switches
will stop the compressors.

A back pressure controlled constant pressure valve is included in the vegetable and dairy rooms to prevent
these rooms dropping too far below the normal set point, which would damage the provisions, should the inlet
solenoid valve fail to close properly.

Any leaks of refrigerant gas from the system will result in the system becoming undercharged. The symptoms
of the system undercharge will be low suction and discharge pressures with the system eventually becoming
ineffective. Bubbles will appear in the sight glass.

A side effect of low refrigerant gas charge is apparent low lubricating oil level in the sump. A low charge level
will result in excess oil being entrapped in the circulating refrigerant, thus the level in the sump will drop.
When the system is charged to full capacity, the excess oil will be separated out and returned to the sump.

Draft Issue 1 2.14.2 Domestic Refrigeration System Page 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


During operation, the level as shown in the condenser level gauge will drop. If the system does become
undercharged the whole system should be checked for leakage.

When required, additional refrigerant can be added through the charging line, after first venting the connection
between the refrigerant bottle and the charging connection.

The added refrigerant is dried before entering the system. Any trace of moisture in the refrigerant system will
lead to problems with the thermostatic expansion valve icing up and subsequent blockage.

Operating Procedures

To Start the Refrigeration Plant

a) All stop valves, except the compressor suction valve, in the refrigerant line should be opened and
fully back seated to prevent the pressure in the valve reaching the valve gland.

b) The crankcase heater on the compressor to be used should be switched on a least 3 hours prior to
starting the compressor.

c) Check that the oil level is correct.

d) Check the quantity of refrigerant charge.

e) Start the cooling water pump for condenser cooling and supply cooling water to the condenser.
Feed cooling sea water to the condenser side cover jacket and vent air.

f) Purge air completely from the cooling water cycle by opening air purger on top of the condenser
or air purging valve on the pipe line. Check the compressor smoothness by manually turning over.

g) Check the V belt tension.

h) Start the compressor. Confirm correct direction.

i) Adjust the suction stop valve gradually until fully open, when the compressor starts making a
knocking noise, close the valve immediately. When the noise stops open the valve again, repeat
this operation until the noises completely disappear.

2.14.2 Domestic Refrigeration System Page 2 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Whilst running:

a) Check the inlet and outlet pressure gauges.

b) Check the oil level and oil pressure. Check the crankcase for foaming.

c) Check for leakages.

To Put the Cooler Rooms System into Operation

a) Open the refrigerant supply to one cooler room.

b) Open the refrigerant returns from the cooler room. Repeat for each of the cooler rooms.

Defrosting

The air coolers in the meat and fish rooms are fitted with electrical defrostingequipment i.e. the evaporator and
drip trays are provided with electric heating elements. The frequency of defrosting is chosen by means of a
defrosting relay built into the starter panel. The defrosting sequence is as follows:

a) The compressor stops and all the solenoid valves in the system close.

b) The fans in the meat and fish rooms stop working but the fans in the vegetable and dairy rooms
continue the circulation of the warm air over the coolers, in this way keeping the cooling surfaces
free from ice.

c) The electric heating elements in the meat and fish rooms switch on.

d) As long as the coolers are covered with ice, the melting takes nearly all of the heat supplied and
the temperature of the cooler and the refrigerant is constantly kept near zero. When the ice has
melted, the refrigerant temperature rises in the meat and fish rooms. When the temperature
reaches the set point (approx. +10°C) of the defrosting thermostat, the heating elements are
switched off.

e) The compressor starts.

f) When the coil surface temperature has gone below the freezing point, the fans in the meat and
fish room start.

The system is now back on the refrigerating cycle again. If the defrosting is not completed at the expiration of
the defrosting period, the defrosting will be restarted by the timer and a new cycle will commence.

System Running Checks at Regular Intervals

a) Check the lubricating oil levels in the crankcase.

b) Check the lubricating oil pressure.

c) Check the moisture indicators.

d) Check the suction and discharge pressure and temperature and any unusual variations should be
investigated.

e) Check all the room temperatures and evaporation coils for any sign of frosting.

a) Close the liquid supply line valve for the evaporator for 5 minutes before stopping the plant.

b) When the compressor stops on low pressure, press STOP on control panel.

c) When stopped close the suction and discharge stop valves. Close the oil return valve.

Stopping the Plant for a Long Period

a) Close the main stop valve after the condenser. Evacuate the evaporators.

b) Allow the temperature rise in ethe vaporators, repeat after evacuation.

c) When the suction pressure is slightly over atmospheric, stop the compressor, close the compressor
suction and discharge stop valves and the oil return stop valve.

d) Stop the condenser cooling water and drain.

e) Switch off the main and control circuit electrical supplies.

f) Examine the system for leaks.

2.14.3 Accomodation Air Conditioning Plant

Introduction

The air is supplied to the accommodation by two air handling units located in the air handling unit room
situated on the upper deck. The units consists of an electrically driven fan drawing air through the following
sections:
Filter
Mixing chamber for fresh and recirculated air
Heating coil
Evaporator coils
Humidifier nozzles
Water separator

The air is forced into the distribution trunking which supplies the accommodation. Air may be drawn into the
system either from outside or from the accommodation via recirculation trunking.

With heating or cooling coils in use, the unit is designed to operate on 71% fresh air supply. The ratio of
circulation air may be varied manually using the damper in the inlet trunking.

The inlet filters are of the washable mat type and heating is provided by coils supplied by steam from the
6kg/cm2 system.

Cooling is provided by a direct expansion R22 system. The plant is automatic and consists of two
compressor/condenser units supplying the evaporators contained in the accommodation air handling units.

2.14.3 Accomodation Air Conditioning Plant Page 1 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Each condensing unit has 100% of the total capacity requirement and under normal conditions, one
compressor will be in use. Each supplying their own evaporator.

Cooling of the air is achieved by direct expansion coils. The coils are fed with refrigerant from the air
conditioning compressor as a superheated gas, which is passed through the condenser where it is condensed to
a liquid.

The liquid R22 is then fed, via filter drier units, to the cooling coils where it expands under the control of the
expansion valves, before being returned to the compressor as a gas.

The compressor is fitted with an internal oil pressure activated unloading mechanism which affords automatic
starting and variable capacity control.

The compressor is protected by high and low pressure cut-out switches, a low lubricating oil pressure trip, a
cooling water pressure trip and a high pressure and oil supply pressure differential trip. A crankcase heater
and cooler are also fitted.

Any leakage of refrigerant gas from the system will result in the system becoming undercharged.

The symptoms of system undercharge will be low suction and discharge pressure and the system eventually
becoming ineffective.

A side effect of low refrigerant gas charge is apparent low oil level in the sump. A low charge level will result
in excess oil being entrapped in the circulating refrigerant gas, causing the level in the sump to drop.

When the system is charged to full capacity, this excess oil will be separated out and returned to the sump.

During operation, the level as shown in the condenser level gauge will drop.

If the system does become undercharged, the whole system pipework should be checked for leakage.

When required, additional gas can be added through the charging line, after first venting the connection
between the gas bottle and the charging connection. The added refrigerant is dried before entering the system.
Any trace of moisture in the refrigerant will lead to problems with the thermostatic expansion valve icing up
and subsequent blockage.

Cooling water for the condenser is supplied from the low temperature fresh water cooling system.

Operation of the Air Conditioning System

The air conditioning system is designed to run with one compressor at a time meeting the full air conditioning
load of the accommodation. Capacity control is automatic, but for borderline temperatures capacity can be
controlled manually. The other condensing unit is on standby or available for maintenance.

To Start the Ventilation System

a) Check that the air filters are clean.

b) Set the air dampers to the outside position.

c) Start the supply fans.

To Start the Air Conditioning Compressor

a) All stop valves, except the compressor suction, in the refrigerant line should be opened and fully
back seated to prevent the pressure in the valve reaching the valve gland.

b) The crankcase heater on the compressor to be used should be switched on a least 3 hours prior to
starting the compressor.

c) Check that the oil level is correct.

d) Check the quantity of refrigerant charge.

e) Start the cooling water pump for the condenser cooling and supply cooling water to the condenser.
Feed the cooling sea water to the condenser side cover jacket and vent the air.

f) Purge air completely from the cooling water cycle by opening the air purger on top of the
condenser or the air purging valve on the pipe line. Check the vcompressor smoothness by
manually turning it over.

g) Check the V belt tension.

h) Start the compressor. Confirm the correct direction.

i) Adjust the suction stop valve gradually until it is fully open, when the compressor starts making a
knocking noise close the valve immediately. When the noise stops open the valve again., Repeat
this operation until the noises completely disappear.

Whilst running:

a) Check inlet and outlet pressure gauges.

b) Check the oil level and oil pressure. Check the crankcase for foaming.

c) Check for leakages.

Compressor Running Checks

a) The lubricating oil pressure should be checked at least daily.

2.14.3 Accomodation Air Conditioning Plant Page 3 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


b) The oil level in the crankcase should be checked daily.

c) The suction and discharge pressure should be checked regularly.

d) The temperature of oil, suction and discharge should be checked regularly. A regular check on
motor bearing temperature should also be kept.

e) A check should be kept on any undue leakage at the shaft seal.

To Stop the Compressor for Short Periods

a) Close the condenser liquid outlet valve and the outlet from the filter.

b) Allow the compressor to pump out the system so that the low level pressure cut-out operates.

c) Isolate the compressor motor.

d) Close the compressor suction valve.

e) Close the compressor discharge valve.

f) Close the inlet and outlet valves on the cooling water to the condenser.

g) Close the inlet valves on the cooling water to the oil cooler.

h) Switch on the crankcase heater.

To Shut Down the Compressor for a Prolonged Period

If the cooling system is to be shut down for a prolonged period, it is advisable to pump down the system and
isolate the refrigerant gas charge in the condenser.

Leaving the system with full refrigerant pressure in the lines increases the tendency to lose charge through the
shaft seal.

a) Shut the liquid outlet valve on the condenser and the outlet from the filter.

b) Run the compressor until the low pressure cut-out operates.

c) After a period of time the suction pressure may rise, in which case the compressor should be
allowed to pump down again, until the suction pressure remains low.

d) Shut the compressor suction and discharge valves.

e) Close the inlet and outlet valves on the cooling water to the condenser.

f) Close the inlet and outlet valves on the cooling water to the oil cooler.

g) The compressor discharge valve should be marked closed and the compressor motor isolated, in
order to prevent possible damage.

2.14.4 Miscellaneous A.C. Units

The ECR, main switchboard room and engine room workshop are equipped with ‘packaged’ type air
conditioning units. These are ‘stand alone’ units and are used to supplement the ship’s air conditioning plant or
provide heating or cooling in the event of failure of the ship’s main plant. They are also equipped with heaters
which may be used if the ship is operating in cooler climates.

Make: Century
Cooling System: R22 direct expansion
Voltage: 440V 3ph
Capacity: 30,000 Kcal/hr
Supply air volume: 88 m3/hr
Compressor: 7.5kW

The cooling system is regulated automatically by the thermostat sensing the intake air temperature. Automatic
regulation is effected by an R22 high/low pressure switch.

The compressor is of the hermetically sealed type, where the compressor and motor are encased in a single
casing.

The condenser is a cupro-nickel tubed type. The pressurised refrigerant is led into the steel body and transfers
its heat into the water passing through the cooling tubes.

The evaporator is of the slitted fin type consisting of aluminium fins attached to copper tubes. As the surface
temperature is lower than the dew point temperature of air, part of the moisture in the air is condensed,
lowering the absolute humidity and thereby achieving dehumidification.

The air conditioner is also equipped with a circulating fan, filter and strainer.

Operation

The unit can be used as a heater or a cooler by operation of the COOL/HEAT changeover switch mounted on
the front panel. The compressor does not operate until the start switch has been moved through the operating
sequence: COOL - FAN - P.A. START. The heating sequence will not start until the operating switch has been
moved through the operating sequence: HEAT - FAN - P.A. START.

There is a pressure gauge also mounted on the equipment front and should, in service, give the following
readings:
Discharge pressure: 12.5 to 18 Kg/cm3 G
Suction pressure: 4.2 to 5.9 Kg/cm3 G

The unit is equipped with protection devices against high and low refrigerant pressure and high compressor
current. A fusible plug is located at the condenser to protect against abnormal pressure rise. The plug is set to
operate at approximately 72ºC.

Maintenance of the unit under normal operation should be limited to a monthly check for refrigerant loss and
cleaning of the air filter. Every three months the condenser zinc anode condition should be checked. A more
intensive inspection should be carried out every year which should include a check of the fan belt tension and
condition.

More detailed information is available in the manufacturer’s handbook for this equipment.

Vacuum System Operation

The vacuum toilet system uses a vacuum to transport sewage from toilet bowls and hospital sanitary fittings to
a central collecting point. The toilet bowls are connected directly to the vacuum pipe via a discharge valve at
the rear of the bowl. When flushing, the electronically controlled discharge valve opens briefly to empty the
bowl and extract surrounding air into the system.

The vacuum is created by a liquid ring screw pump. The pump creates the vacuum in the piping system,
macerates the sewage as it passes through and discharges the sludge to either the sewage treatment plant or a
sewage holding tank.

CAUTION !
Running the pump dry will damage the unit.

Another synchronised valve lets in enough water to clean the bowl and restore a pool of water after the
discharge valve has closed.

A vacuum gauge and pressure switches are fitted to the incoming mains. The pressure switches start and stop
the pump to maintain the necessary vacuum in the piping system. Check valves in the ejectors close as soon as
the pumps stop running.

The collecting tank is under atmospheric pressure with the vacuum maintained only in the piping system.

Sewage Discharge Pump Operation

The resulting macerated sewage is ether discharged to the sewage holding tank or directly to the sewage
treatment unit. If passed to the holding tank, then the sewage discharge pump is used to transfer the tank
contents either to the sewage treatment unit or to the international sewage shore connection. This pump can
also discharge the sewage directly to overboard in an emergency.

The holding tank has a high level alarm to the ECR, and the pump can be limit switch controlled to start and
stop.

Draft Issue 1 2.14.5 Sewage Treatment Page 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Sewage Treatment Plant

Instead of to the holding tank, the vacuumarator unit can transfer the sewage directly to the sewage treatment
plant.

This unit consists of three main compartments:


Aeration Tank
Clarification Tank
Chlorination Tank

Aeration Compartment

The sewage is discharged into this compartment from the holding tank or the vacuumarator unit. The incoming
effluent material mixes with the activated sludge present in this compartment. The CO2 gas is vented to
atmosphere, while water and bacteria pass into the clarification compartment after approximately 24 hours. An
air compressor supplies the activation air to the compartment, which gives the aerobic organisms the oxygen
required and assists to mix the incoming sewage with that already present.

Clarification Compartment

The mixed fluid passes into this compartment and settles out. The pure water passes into the chlorination
section, while any remaining sludge returns to the aeration compartment for further processing.

Chlorination Compartment

Pure water from the clarification section is mixed with chlorination tablets and sterilised.

As the level in this compartment rises, limit switches start and stop the unit discharge pump, which transfers
the water overboard.

CAUTION !
Discharge overboard should not take place within 12 nautical miles of the coast.

Incinerator

Maker : Teamtec-Golar.
Type : OG 400C

The incinerator can burn solid garbage waste and engine room waste oil. Diesel oil can be burned to assist the
total combustion when required. The Unit is capable of burning 65 litres of waste oil per hour and 400 litres of
compacted solid waste per charge. The combustion chamber is fitted with a loading door, to admit garbage,
and a slag door to allow removal of ash and slag when incineration is completed. Flue gas from the incinerator
is vented via the exhaust ducting/funnel to the atmosphere. The flue gas fan, mounted in the ducting above the
incinerator, provides a negative pressure in the combustion chamber.

Control of the incinerator, the diesel oil pump, waste oil circulating pump and flue gas fan are from the local
control panel.

Provision is provided for local indications of flue gas and combustion chamber temperatures, together with a
flue gas high temperature alarm.

The unit is provided with its own D.O. service tank, which can be filled from the G.E. D.O. transfer pump.
The incinerator's own F.O. pump takes suction from this tank to the burner unit. The sludge burner is fitted
with atomizing steam from the 6 bar system or, if not available, air from the general service air system.

Summary of Regulations

2.15 Inert Gas System

2.15.1 System Description

General

Maker : Kvaerner Ships Equipment


Type : Moss Flue Gas System
Capacity : 21000 Nm3/h each Blower

The Inert Gas System consists of a main inert gas plant, using boiler flue gas and an independent topping up
inert gas plant generator, to provide a gas explosion protection system for the cargo oil tanks and slop tanks.
This is achieved by maintaining a slight over pressure in the tanks at all times.

Whilst discharging the cargo, liquid pumped out of the tanks is replaced by inert gas. At all times, the pressure
of the inert gas in the tanks is maintained slightly above atmospheric pressure.

The inert gas used on this vessel is produced by a conventional flue gas plant, which cools and cleans gas from
the boiler uptake and an independent generator system, which burns fuel oil at a very low excess air setting.
The resulting exhaust gas is cooled and cleaned before being fed into the cargo tanks.

The main inert gas plant consists of a scrubber and demister, two inert gas fans, a pressure vacuum breaker
and a deck water seal unit.

The main system is designed to maintain a positive tank pressure above 250mm H2O, with a tank O2 content
of 5% maximum, when 3 cargo pumps are operating at the designed discharge rate.

The system is used during:


Cargo oil loading and unloading
Hydrocarbon gas purging
Tank cleaning

Main Inert Gas System

The flue gas from the boiler uptake is led into the plant, then cooled and cleaned. The gas is then distributed
by the fans to the cargo oil and slop tanks via a deck water seal and distribution piping. The system is used to
purge the ullage spaces in the cargo oil tanks of hydrocarbon gases and replace them with inert gas, keeping
the oxygen content below 5% by volume.

When the boilers are operating efficiently, the composition of the Inert Gas by volume should be:
Carbon dioxide (CO2) 13%
Oxygen (O2) Approx 5% by volume
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) <01%
Nitrogen (N2) 81.99%

However, during low boiler load operation, the oxygen content of the boiler exhaust gas will tend to rise, due
to the higher excess air required for good combustion.

Draft Issue 1 2.15 Inert Gas System Page 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


WARNING !
When running with the boiler on a low load, the flue gas blower may draw air down the boiler funnel
uptake.

The system consists of the following components:

Scrubber

No. of sets : 1
Maker : Kvaerner Ships Equipment
Type : Triplex

The Scrubber is of the tower type and consists of inlet water seal tanks, tower elements and spray nozzles.

The gas passes into the scrubber via a central tube venturi located concentric in the scrubber tower. This
facilitates the removal of the soot particles and provides initial cooling. At the lower end of the venturi
scrubber the gases are deflected through a wet filter, providing further cooling and cleaning. The gas then
passes into the open spray tower, which is the final cooling process. The water mist is highly efficient in
removing sulphur. The spray also assists in maintaining the wet filter in a clean condition by a continuous
flushing action.

The clean cool gas passes through a mesh demister in the top of the scrubber tower, which effectively prevents
water droplets from being carried over with the outlet gas flow. An independent cooling sea water supply
pump supplies the scrubber. Emergency cooling water can be provided from No.2 Bilge, Fire and G.S. pump.
The water leaving the scrubber is discharged overboard.

Inert Gas Fans

No. of sets : 2
Maker : Flebu Ticon
Type : Centrifugal Single Stage

Two electric driven inert gas fans are supplied. Each one is capable of supplying the full rated inert gas
capacity. They draw the gas from the boiler uptake, through the scrubber, and deliver to the deck distributing
pipe system with sufficient over-pressure to form a high velocity gas jet at the inlet to the cargo tanks. The
blower casing is provided with water spray nozzles and drains.

Deck Water Seal

No. of sets : 1
Maker : Kvaerner Ship Equipment
Type : Displacement
Sealing Height : 2500 mm WG

The deck water seal is the displacement type. The water inside the seal is displaced into a reservoir during
operation, and immediately falls back and closes the seal in case of the loss of positive gas pressure, preventing
any back-flow of cargo gases.

The deck water seal is gas leakage proof due to an internal double seal pipe forming two gas barriers. A small
tube with a gooseneck on the water seal top indicates a possible leakage in one of the barriers. The water seal
has a built in retractable heating coil for use in cold weather conditions. It has inspection glasses for water
level control and is fitted with a low-level alarm. The mesh demister in the upper part of the seal effectively
prevents carry over of water droplets under all flow conditions.

2.15.1 Inert Gas System Description Page 2 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Any back pressure from the cargo tank area will induce an over pressure in the reservoir chamber above the
water level and force water into the centre tube. The water level in the centre tube will rise and thus prevent
gas from leaking past the seal.

When the plant is operating and inert gas is admitted to the deck distribution system, the pressure from the
blowers will empty the centre tube into the reservoir, letting the gas flow freely through the top part of the
reservoir chamber. The gas is forced through the demister where any water droplets are separated from the gas
and led back to the water reservoir.

Two sea water supply pumps (one as standby) supply water to the deck water seal. The water is discharged
overboard.

Pressure/Vacuum Breakers

Port IG Deck Main


Maker : Kvaerner Ship Equipment
No. of sets : 1
Type : Dual pipe - liquid filled
Opening Pressure : 2100 mm WG
Vacuum : 700 mm HG

Starboard IG Deck Main


Maker : Kvaerner Ship Equipment
No. of sets : 1
Type : Dual pipe - liquid filled
Opening Pressure : 2000 mm WG
Vacuum : 700 mm HG

A pressure/vacuum breaker is fitted to each of the inert gas mains on deck. They are filled with a mixture of
anti-freeze and water. They will open at a pre-set pressure or vacuum, thus protecting the tanks against excess
pressure or vacuum.

Boiler Uptake Valves

One valve is mounted close to each boiler uptake duct and one valve mounted down stream of the sealing air
connection. Soot cleaning nozzles are provided on the boiler side of each uptake valve. Double acting
cylinders, controlled by solenoid valves, pneumatically operate the valves.

Sealing Air Valves

To prevent boiler flue gas leaking past the boiler uptake valves, when the plant is shut down, a sealing air
supply line is fitted. This runs from the discharge side of the boiler forced draught fans, to the pipe line
between the boiler up take valves and the down stream main valve. When the boiler uptake valves are open the
sealing valves are closed and vice versa.

Flow Control Valves

Butterfly control valves operated by pneumatic actuators, will maintain the flow through the system. To
protect the blower motor, the valves are held in the closed position during the blower start-up period.

Blow Off Valve

One butterfly valve is provided for gas venting. It is pneumatically operated and used to control the inert gas
main pressure.

Draft Issue 1 2.15.1 Inert Gas System Description Page 3


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


When the plant is started with the blower running and the main deck line control valve closed, the blow off
valve will open, relieving the gas from the blower outlet to atmosphere, thus preventing overheating of the
running blower.

I.G. Main Control Valve

One main control valve, driven by a pneumatic double acting actuator, is provided on the main line. During
start up and shut down the valve is held in the closed position. An air reservoir ensures closing if instrument air
pressure is lost.

Oxygen Analyser

A fixed analyser is installed, which samples the inert gas after it has passed through the blowers.

Inert Gas Topping Up Generator

Maker : Kvaerner Ship Equipment


Type : Topping Up
Capacity : 500 Nm3/h
Fuel oil consumption : Approx. 40 kg/h

The unit comprises an oil burner and combustion chamber, scrubber, blower and fuel oil pump unit. This unit
operates automatically and can be set to start and stop at given pressures set on the control panel.

Fuel oil is burned in the combustion chamber. The exhaust gas is then led through the cooling tower where the
gas is cleaned and cooled. The inert gas is then delivered to the inert gas main through a flow control valve.

2.15.2 Operation

Operation of Main System

The flue gas system main control panel is situated in the E.C.R. The panel contains the programmable
controller which takes care of the start/stop/alarm functions and running mode. On the front of the panel the
system is represented in the form of a mimic diagram, with appropriate indications and push buttons.

A sub panel in the cargo control room contains push buttons used for starting and stopping the supply of gas to
the deck main line. The system is represented in the form of a mimic diagram with indicators and LEDs. The
panel also contains a three pen recorder/indicator. A sub panel on the bridge contains indication for inert gas
pressure, oxygen content and alarm indicators.

located on the upper deck between the accommodation block and the funnel housing block.

There is a lifting space extending from the top of the engine room down to floor plate level port forward of the
main engine. Another space is provided port side aft of the main engine for generator equipment.

There are lifting beams and equipment strategically located above the main engine (the engine room crane),
generators and propeller shaft to facilitate the removal and fitting of equipment parts. The beams and rails run
to areas where other lifting equipment can ‘take over’ to allow passage to the workshops or removal from the
vessel.

There is also a lifting beam/rail running from the engine store to the hot work room and on to the main engine
workshop. (See illustration 2.16.3a)

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


3.1 IMS System

3.1.1. System Overview

Maker: Lyngso Marine

Main System Components

The machinery monitoring, alarm and control system can be divided into four groups:

DPS 2100 Main engine remote control and safety system


DMS 2100 Bridge manoeuvring system
UCS 2100 Universal alarm, monitoring and control system
PMS 2100 Power management system

The DPS and DMS 2100 systems are described in detail in section 2.1.2, the main engine manoeuvring
control.

The UCS and PMS systems are grouped by the manufacturer under the system title: ‘UMS/UCS2100
Universal alarm, monitoring and control system’ The UMS system is basically the alarm system and the UCS
system is the control and monitoring system.

The systems are all interconnected using an RS485 data bus, any alarms on a system group will sound
common alarms according to the mode selected (UMS etc) at the designated control position.

UMS 2100 System Overview

The system is formed by a number of standard hardware units as shown in Illustration 3.1.1a.
Outstations with Local Operator Panels
Basic Alarm Panels
Accommodation Alarm Panels
Extended Alarm Display
Alarm / Log printer

The Outstation is equipped with a Gamma computer which handles the functions of the alarm detection, and
additionally one of the Outstations controls the Alarm Panels (Basic Alarm Panels and Accommodation Alarm
Panels). The Outstation is supplied with Local Operator Panels, which provide the operator with alarm
information directly on the front of the Outstation.

The Basic Alarm Panel is normally installed on the bridge and in the engine control room. The Basic Alarm
Panel provides the operator with all necessary facilities for use of the alarm system including alarm
acknowledgement, duty engineer selection, control of printer etc.

The Accommodation Alarm Panel is normally installed in the cabins of the duty engineers/officers and in the
public rooms. The Accommodation Alarm Panel is used for alarm signaling and duty call of crew members
etc. in the accommodation areas.

The Extended Alarm Display is used together with the Basic Alarm Panel to extend the amount of
information to be displayed simultaneously. (In the Universal Control System UCS 2100, the function of the
Extended Alarm Display is an integrated part of the Graphics Operator Station GOS).

3.1 IMS System Page 1 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


The Alarm/Log Printers are used for printing the different logs and reports.

This system contains Alarm Panels which allow remote alarm annunciation at the bridge, at the engineers’
cabins and in the public rooms. A printer which logs all the alarms and events is connected to the system.

When the system is selected for ‘unmanned machinery space’ an alarm will sound an audible alarm in the
cabin of the engineer who has been selected on duty, as well as in the public rooms enabling the duty engineer
to move freely between any of these locations and still be sure to receive the alarm. To acknowledge the
alarm, the duty engineer must go to the Engine Control Room. The system contains extended alarm displays
which present more information, giving the operator an improved overview.

UCS 2100 Control System

This system offers an overview of alarm, control and monitoring information. The information is presented in
graphic form at the Graphic Operator Stations (GOS) See 3.1.1a for system layout and location of GOS.

The UCS 2100 Control System provides the operator with an enhanced overview and operator facilities. It has
facilities for displaying logged data and can be used to generate reports based upon this data. Reports, trend,
and screen pictures can be printed on request. The system controls automatic and sequential restart of pumps
and fans, control of temperature controllers and power management of the diesel generators.

Integrated with the UMS 2100 Alarm System, the UCS 2100 Control System will offer the standard facility to
display alarm information together with the control and monitoring information. The two systems are
allocated the same Gamma computer hardware modules reducing the overall costs and minimising the use of
I/O channels and cabling costs.

The System Configuration is as follows:


A Graphic Operator Station on the bridge, general office, main switchboard room, and ECR (x2)
A basic alarm panel on the bridge, main switchboard room and ECR
An accommodation alarm panel fitted in all the engineers’ cabins and public rooms
An alarm printer and log printer in the ECR
Two Gamma outstations in the ECR

The controlled machinery components are operated from control pictures, all with graphic presentations of the
controlled machinery components.

An interactive interface with pull-down menus and clear indications of the actual state of the machinery
component is used. Alarms related to the controlled machinery components are visualised just beside the
graphic symbol for the machinery component. The actual state of the alarm is clearly indicated (normal/cut-
out/alarm).

The Graphic Operator Stations log all commands to and condition changes from the machinery. It also logs the
change of set-points to the temperature controllers. The events are stored in a cyclic event log containing all
events that have occurred during the last 24 hours. The event log is readable on the screen of the Graphic
Operator Stations and can be printed on request.

The Graphic Operator Stations logs all of the supervised analog values. The values are stored continuously for
a period covering the previous eight hours. All changes are detected and stored. Additionally, the values are
also stored as one minute mean values for a period covering the last month.

Generator and Power Management System

This is comprised of the power management system and diesel starter control system. The diesel starter control
system controls the following functions:
Manual stop/start of the generators
Engine safety/shutdown system
Selection/control of standby generator
Blackout recovery
Prelubrication of engines
H.F.O./D.O. changeover
The power management system controls the following functions:
Semi/fully automatic mode control
Synchronising
Frequency control
Start of standby generator at low frequency or low voltage
Heavy consumer control

PMS Operation Modes

The ship’s electrical power plant can be operated in several different modes:
Local control
Manual control of auxiliary engine
Diesel Starter with Black Out Start
PMS Semi-Automatic Mode
PMS Automatic Mode.

Local Control

In local control there is no PMS operation at all. When the auxiliary engine local control is selected for a
generator set the engine is operated locally and the main breaker is operated from the MSB. The diesel
generator local control is selected by means of the local/remote blocking switch on the auxiliary engine control
panel at the engine.

Manual Control

In manual control, manual start/stop of the auxiliary engine from the Graphic Operator Stations is available but
closing of the main breaker is limited to an automatic black out start situation. When the auxiliary engine is in
remote control and main breaker manual control is selected for a generator set, the diesel starter can start and
stop the auxiliary engine in question, but only start/stop; no synchronising or any other functions are carried
out. The main breaker is manually operated from the MSB. The diesel generator manual operation is selected
by means of the manual/auto selector switch for each generator on the main switchboard.

3.1.1. System Overview Page 3 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Semi-Automatic Mode

The PMS modes, which always include the Diesel Start and Black Out Start functions, can be used for either
operator supervised ‘Semi-Automatic’ remote control or for unmanned full ‘Automatic’ control of the ship’s
electrical power plant. The PMS is changed between the two PMS modes from the Graphic Operator Stations.

In the Semi-Automatic Mode, the PMS acts as a remote control station, where the automatic controls are
those of blackout start, frequency control, load sharing, start/synchronising control and disconnection of a
generator when the operator enters a start or stop order from the Graphic Operator Stations. A generator
cannot be connected or disconnected by the PMS automatically.

If the operator wishes to stop an online PMS controlled diesel generator, this can be done from the Graphic
Operator Stations. Stopping means unloading, switching off-line and stopping the diesel generator.

Heavy Consumers will be allowed to start if enough available power is present, otherwise they will be blocked
from starting.

PMS Automatic Mode

In Automatic Mode the PMS will perform all the functions from the Semi-Automatic Mode plus load
dependent start/stop, start of standby diesel generator at shutdown, pre-warning alarm of an online diesel
generator, and control of heavy consumers etc.

In Automatic Mode, the PMS can connect and disconnect the generators automatically to and from the MSB.
This may be initiated by load-dependent start/stop, or from a shutdown prewarning. The load-dependent heavy
consumer start facility may involve standby diesel generator start, and acceptance or rejection of heavy
consumer start request.

Frequency control and load-sharing between all online PMS controlled diesel generators are also part of the
Automatic Mode. A diesel generator can be removed from the automatic start/stop sequence by switching it to
local or manual control mode.

A diesel generator can be stopped without changing its mode, by changing the priority, so that the online
diesel generator is given a lower priority. The PMS will then automatically start a diesel generator with higher
priority and stop the one with the lower priority. In the same way, start of a stopped PMS controlled diesel
generator can be done by changing its priority to a higher priority.

If the PMS control mode is changed from local, manual, or Semi-automatic to Automatic Mode, the PMS will
automatically update the plant, so the diesel generator(s) with the highest priority are online to the main
switchboard.

Start of the preselected standby diesel generator and connection of the main breaker after black out is handled
by the PMS, independent of the actual mode.

3.1.2. Operator Stations

The Graphic Operator Station is basically a personal computer approved for marine use. The various displays
feature a wide range of machinery components made up of standard function blocks. The blocks are a
combination of graphical symbols and corresponding control programs and include a process interface and a
man/machine interface.

Operation is by using the tracker ball device to control the position of a cursor and pointing at a symbol. The
activation push button (left) will then activate a pop up menu of available commands. The right button will
acknowledge and open ‘display channel’ dialogue.

They also have facilities for the display of logged data as trend curves and can be used to generate reports.
These reports, trend curves, and screen pictures can be printed on request.

Besides operation and graphics indication of the UCS 2100 Control System, the Graphic Operator Stations
have the facility to display information such as lists for alarms, cut-outs, analogue values, and alarm limits.

Alarm System

Alarms relative to the controlled machinery are displayed on the corresponding pictures with an indication of
the alarm state and the cut-out state A steady red square indicates an acknowledged alarm, a flashing red
square indicates an unacknowledged alarm and a light blue square indicates a cut-out. By pointing and clicking
on the square the actual process state can be read. When an alarm occurs the label for the relevant system
flashes on the overview display

In the alarm list the overview of all the present machinery alarms, cut outs and system failures can be seen.

Operation from the Graphic Operator Stations

To operate a machinery component the operator activates the symbol of that specific component by pointing
and clicking. The desired command is chosen from the pop up menu. from the diagrams on illustration 3.1.2a
the operation of starting a fuel pump (fuel pump No.1) can be seen.

a) From the overview menu the operator selects FUEL OIL SUPPLY by pointing and clicking.
b) From the fuel oil supply display the operator can assess the current status of pump No.1.The
symbol is green for running, magenta for stopped, red for blocked or ‘I’ for interlocked. The
alarm status square is also situated here.
c) By clicking on the symbol the pump I.D. and command options are displayed.
d) By clicking on MASTER START the pump is started. (For safety, only one GOS can operate on
one symbol).
e) The pop up menu disappears and the symbol on the display changes to RUNNING.

Alarm Handling from Graphic Operator Stations

Acknowledgment of alarms is carried out at the alarm watch station and must be preceded by silencing the
alarm horn by pressing the STOP HORN function key on the keyboard. The oldest unacknowledged alarm is
always on display in the header. Acknowledgment is by pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE function key. Alarms
from the alarm list can be acknowledged by pointing and clicking using the tracker ball.

Acknowledgment of alarms can also be made from within the corresponding control picture where the alarm
indication is displayed by pointing to the flashing red symbol and clicking.

Reports and Data Collection Logging

Daily, monthly and yearly reports are available as standard, based on compressed data from the log. To
generate a daily report the data is compressed further to provide values for each hour. Detailed reports show
the 60 values for each hour plus the total values for a day. Reports can be printed out on request or at specified
times. Other reports may be user configured. ddta may also be exported in DIF file format for analysis using
other PC applications.

Analogue and binary parameters may be logged on the GOS hard drive for later analysis. All condition
changes of parameters and values, defined to be logged, covering the previous 24 hours are stored for 30 days.

Event Log

Main Events such as running feedback signals from motors and engines can be automatically logged on the
alarm and event log printer, to give the operator a complete machinery log. All events, such as commands and
feedback changes, may also be logged on the Graphic Operator Stations hard-disk. The log is accessible on the
Graphic Operator Stations and may be printed on a printer, either on request as a report or continuously.

The commands are only included in the log on the specific Graphic Operator Stations from which the
command is actually activated.

Printers and Screen Dumps

Two printers can be connected to each Graphic Operator Station:

One Graphics Printer in colour or black and white for:


A hard copy of the total screen including all windows, the active window of the screen or trend curves.

One Text Printer in black and white for:


Daily, Monthly and yearly reports, trend values in tabulated form, status print-outs for a picture/system,
system documentation or the event log.

The Alarms and Main Events are printed on the text printer directly connected to a Gamma computer, which is
related to the UMS 2100 alarm handling function of the system.

The Thermonitor (relative measuring system)

The thermonitor function is a relative measurement system for supervision of, for example, the exhaust gas
temperatures of the main engine cylinders with individual alarms for high temperature, high mean value and an
alarm for big deviation from the mean value. The display presentation includes an overview diagram for all of
the cylinders, and two graph-diagrams each presenting up to five cylinder temperatures.

The thermonitor picture can be selected either by the key-board function key or from the Diagrams menu.

3.1.3. Screen Displays

The display of the Graphic Operator Stations is divided into two parts: a header window and a selectable
working area window which will be a control overview or an alarm list. The menu bar and header with status
information are always present. For enhanced safety, the header constantly displays the most essential
information from the alarm system, independent of the actual control assignment, such as:
Oldest unacknowledged alarm
Number of present and unacknowledged alarms
Number of present cut-outs (inhibited alarm channels)
Actual watch station, duty officer and backup officer
Date and time

Below the header, pictures with symbolic representation of the control objects enable remote control of the
controlled machinery components and group of machinery components. Control is easily carried out by using
the point-out and pop-up menus. The alarm information is clearly indicated by means of a graphic alarm
symbol placed close to the symbol for the machinery component.

Picture Hierarchy on the Graphic Operator Stations

The alarm and control pictures of the UCS 2100 Control System are placed in a picture hierarchy. The Alarm
and Control Overview picture presents labels to all of the control pictures. Any of the pictures can be selected
by pointing at the picture label and then pressing the activation push-button.

A square located to the left of the picture label flashes in case of an unacknowledged alarm on the picture.
This time saving feature gives the operator a fast and safe overview of the actual situation.

The Alarm and Control Overview picture can be selected by pressing a function key on the keyboard or by the
Area/Diagram pull-down menu on the command bar in the upper edge of the screen.

All of the alarm and control pictures are available from the picture label on the Alarm and Control Overview
picture or from the Area/Diagram pull-down menu on the command bar in the upper edge of the screen.

Alarm List

The alarm list is a display of all standing alarms both acknowledged and unacknowledged. The system can
include from 1 to 4 systems (bridge, machinery etc), each alarm system has its own alarm list. (See illustration
3.1.4a)

Up to 20 alarms can be displayed on the screen. If there are over 20 alarms the actual number is shown in the
bottom right of the display.

The colour of the alarm text is normally green with the alarm ‘state’ text in red (if priority 1 alarm) or magenta
(if priority 2) or yellow (if priority 3). A right click on the alarm brings up a small menu with two texts:
DISPLAY CHANNEL and ACKNOWLEDGE. Left clicking on ACKNOWLEDGE allows the alarm to be
acknowledged or, if not possible, the text is shown in grey (already acknowledged or horn not silenced etc).
Left clicking on DISPLAY CHANNEL opens the display for the particular system the alarm originates from.
Detailed alarm information, such as delays and limits etc, is also shown.

Trend Displays

One to five graphs for supervised parameters can be displayed in the same trend display with individual colour
and measuring scale. The individual colour is used to separate the ID number, the measuring scale, the trend
curve, and the digit value for each measurement. See Section 3.1.5

Alarm Groups

An alarm group is a list of alarms for one machinery component (independent of alarm state). Up to 100 alarm
groups are available. The list is sorted alphabetically after the I.D.

The possible states for an alarm channel are as follows:

State Appearance Description


NORM Steady Green Alarm channel in normal state
ALM Flashing Red Unacknowledged alarm: Priority 1
ALM Steady Red Acknowledged alarm: Priority 1
ALM Flashing Magenta Unacknowledged alarm: Priority 2
ALM Steady Magenta Acknowledged alarm: Priority 2
ALM Flashing Yellow Unacknowledged alarm: Priority 3
ALM Steady Yellow Acknowledged alarm: Priority 3
FAIL Flashing Red Unacknowledged alarm: Sensor fail
FAIL Steady Red Acknowledged alarm: Sensor fail outside range
NORM/CA Steady Blue Standing alarm: Suppressed/Cut out
? Steady White GOS/GAMMA Computer hardware failure

There are also lists for alarm suppressions and alarm failures.

Display Channel Diagram

This displays detailed information of an alarm channel and it is possible to adjust some parameters although
these are password level 1 protected. The configuration includes:
Type: Analogue or Binary
Alarm system: Name of alarm system to which the channel belongs to
Outstation: Name of the outstation where PLC is located
Address: Address number for PLC

The Channel parameters are also shown here and may include:
Limit: Binary has 1 limit, Analogue may have 3 for an alarm and 4 for an event
Type: Binary/low limit/high limit

Standard Function Block Diagrams

These diagrams are divided into 12 blocks (squares), each one representing one machinery component.
Information from each component is displayed as a ‘standard function block’. There are two main types of
object: digital and analogue.

Digital Objects are used to display the status of a machinery component such as a pump. The current status is
shown as a symbol and as text, usually running or stopped. From these digital objects it is possible to send
start and stop commands.

Analogue objects are used to display the current value of a measurement or an adjustable value. The value can
be shown as a number and/or a bar graph.

Function blocks can be operated in local or remote and manual or automatic modes. Changeover is carried out
directly on the machinery component.

Function blocks are described in more detail in the manufacturer’s operation manual for this system.

Mimic Diagrams

A mimic diagram shows a machinery system as a static background with dynamic objects as symbols upon it
representing the machinery components and function blocks of bar graphs etc for measurements. These
mimics give a good overview of a system showing graphically the location of the measurement or machinery
component. clicking on the object reveals an I.D. (See illustration 3.1.3a)

Mimics can be opened by clicking on the appropriate listing from the main menu or choosing EDIT from the
menu bar and selecting OPEN BY NAME from the drop down menu. Entering the system I.D. will display the
required mimic diagram.

3.1.5 Trending

The system can display one to five graphs for parameters under analysis in the same trend display with
individual colours and measuring scales. The individual colour is used to separate the ID number, the
measuring scale, the trend curve and the value for each measurement.

Trend displays that are used often can be accessed directly from the command menu named GRAPH. Trend
curves showing values for the previous 24 hours (maximum 4 days) or part of that period, are based upon the
continuous logged data. A Trend display for a period exceeding the last 24 hours (maximum 4 days) are based
upon the compressed values.

Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Parameters, which are not pre-defined for logging, may be displayed during online data collection, initiated on
the request of the operator. There is also a zoom function available, selected by pointing out the area required
using the tracker ball.

Trend curves can be saved as a file on the PC hard disk or printed as screen dumps for subsequent printing or
analysis. The data used for the trend displays are accessible on the Graphic Operator Stations and can be
printed in tabulating form on a printer.

The SHOW GRAPH function is used for setting up a graph-diagram. The graph pictures can be particularly
helpful in identifying and analysing the operating disruptions. Additionally, it can be helpful in providing a
visual evaluation of changes of the process values, just as the graphs are an important tool in connection with
the documentation of the vessel’s operation. In the individual configuration, a number of graph windows can
be configured, each one displaying graphs of up to 5 variables of predetermined element values.

If the operator selects one or more elements, the graph diagram will automatically include these. (More than
one element can be selected by keeping the [shift] key pressed when selecting the elements). Regardless of
how it is opened, a graph window has a fixed position and size on the screen.

The fixed definition graph can be selected from the menu Graphs (by clicking on the required graph name).
The Graphs menu can contain up to 19 graph displays.

If no elements are selected when the operator activates the SHOW GRAPH function, a box will appear
showing a list of all elements in the system. From the list you can select up to five elements which are
displayed simultaneously in the graph-diagram.

Start Time and Window Period for Graphs

After opening a graph window, the operator will be asked to key in a start time and a window period. This will
occur if the graph window is not defined to start with fixed time specifications.

The system always suggests the current time as the start time unless it has been defined to start a number of
hours before. If the operator does not want to change this, the time can be accepted by using the RETURN key.
The start time is the time when the desired graph is to be started, while the window period is the length of the
time of which the axis is to be displayed in the graph field. The length can also be changed by the operator
before activation.

A start time which goes back in time up to 90 days can be determined. Of course, this requires that the relevant
data is still accessible on the hard disk. When the start time and period length, which are to be displayed, have
been keyed in the RETURN key must be activated. Hereafter, the Graphic Operator Stations will retrieve and
work up data in order to draw the desired graph on the screen. As the new values accrue to the system the
graph will be updated.

Error Messages in Connection with Graph Generation

If, within the selected time period, there has been a period in which data has not been collected, or in which
data has later been deleted, an error message appears on the screen, e.g. ‘Open error on file TEST.L13’. This
just means that the drawn graph is not complete since data cannot be found for the entire period. The message
means that data for a whole hour is missing. If data for less than a whole hour is missing it will be shown in the
graph by horizontal lines.

Changing the Presentation of a Graph Display

During monitoring, the display of the graphs can be changed in a number of different ways. The display of one
or more of the (up to five) graphs can be removed from the graph window. This is done by clicking the
element name in the upper part of the window. The name will now be displayed with a weak type and the
accompanying graph is ‘closed’.

The graph can be retrieved again by clicking the element name once more, or for any graph by clicking at a
field placed just to the right for all the graph names. Being able to de-activate one or more graph displays can,
for example, be helpful in situations where two graphs completely or partially cover one another, or in
situations where one of several graphs is desired to be examined more closely or even printed separately.

If the element name in a graph window is double-clicked, the area is filled out under the curve with full colour
or with a raster pattern. If normal display is desired again, double-click the name and the curve will appear as
a line. Even though the area is filled out, the curve can still be ‘turned off’ by clicking the name.

The display with a filled area under the curve is particularly useful when having to present analogue alarm
channels with high alarm limit, low alarm limit as well as the current value in the same curve picture. The
alarm areas can be displayed as ‘belts’ and the element’s current value as a line between these two belts.

Regardless of the selection of the graph form, the zoom and pan functions are the same.

Graph Data in Table Format

It is possible to get a complete list of all of the values which are used for the graph drawing. This is achieved
by a double-click on the ruler symbol, whereafter a window, containing the recorded values in table form, is
opened. The values are presented in table form together with date and time for their recording.

The table is displayed for each element variable on the graph window. The table is framed with a line which
has the same colour as the column on the graph window.

The Up and Down buttons located at the bottom of the window, are used to scroll up and down in the table
(i.e. backwards and forwards in time).

3.1.6 Control of Valves

There are three types of function blocks for valves shown on the mimic diagrams of the Graphic Operator
Stations:

Single Acting Valve

The single acting valve is intended for control of a simple solenoid valve. The symbol for the valve will
change form and colour on activation as no position feedback is included. The opening and closing events can
be logged in the event log.

To operate the valve the operator simply left clicks on the symbol and a pop up menu will then display the
options available. The operator left clicks on the required label, open, close or reset.

Single Acting Valve with Feedback

This type of single acting valve is fitted with position feedback.The valves are fitted with alarm timers to
indicate excess travelling time and will be blocked if the valve has not travelled within the predetermined time.
The valve control is identical to the single acting valve as above. Valves may have one or two feedback
position indicating switches or a feedback potentiometer.

Double Acting Valve with Feedback

This type of double acting valve is also fitted with position feedback.The valves are fitted with alarm timers to
indicate excess travelling time and will be blocked if the valve has not travelled within the predetermined time.
The valve control is identical to the single acting valves as above. Valves may have one or two feedback
position indicating switches or a feedback potentiometer.

Throttle Valves

These control valves are fitted to three way valves for various control functions, such as temperature control.
The valve can be controlled from a local control panel or remotely from a GOS. In manual, the operator can
open or close the valve or adjust a variable position setpoint. In automatic, the valve moves to follow
commands from the controller. The 0-100% position indication and feedback is from an analogue
potentiometer. The valve control is similar to the single and double acting valves as above, but there is a
percentage position indicating window located above the valve icon. Clicking on this window displays a pop
up window giving access to the setpoint and its adjustment if required.

Three Point Controllers

Throttle valves (sometimes known as autovalves or control valves) are normally controlled by a three point
(P.I.D.) controller. This controller uses open/close pulses to move an actuator (usually electrically driven) to
position the valve according to the difference between the setpoint and the actual measured value of the
controlled medium. Valve position feedback from a potentiometer is also provided.

The actuator can be controlled on a local control panel or remotely from a GOS in either manual or automatic.
In manual the operator can move the valve from 0 to 100% or, in automatic, adjust the setpoint or the
regulating parameters of the PID controller (gain, dead band, delay etc). Alarms are provided for the usual
faults plus a setpoint deviation alarm. All position movements and events may be logged using the event log.
To operate or adjust the valve the icon is left clicked and a man/machinery interface window is displayed
showing all the necessary graphs and values.

PID controllers are also fitted with an analogue output (4-20ma), for use on a machinery component that
requires an analogue setpoint input. Operation is identical to the three point controller described above. GOS
indication for this controller will be purely of a graph showing the output from 0 to 100%.

Graphic examples of the above icons are shown in illustration 3.1.6a.

3.1.7 Control of Machinery

There are various types of function blocks for the control of motors and pumps shown on the mimic diagrams
of the Graphic Operator Stations:
Motor/pump starter
Two speed motor/pump starter
Pump starter with count supervision
Pre-starter
Vent fan starter
Two speed vent fan starter
Reversible vent fan starter
Master/standby motor/pump starter
Two speed master/standby motor/pump starter
Standby pump control for mechanically driven master pump
Master/follower air compressor controls

Motor/Pump Starter

A basic motor starter controls the operation of a fan, pump or compressor drive motor, including facilities for
black out start delay, sequential start, local/remote, manual/auto operation and alarms. The motor can be
controlled locally at the motor starter or remotely using the GOS. Feedback is supplied to the UCS system
from the starter. Local/remote operation can be changed without affecting the running of the motor. The motor
may be blocked according to the priority of any alarms in manual or auto, all of which are configurable
through operator adjustable parameters. The starting and stopping and all alarms or changes in configurations
can be logged in the event log.

To operate the motor, the operator simply left clicks on the symbol and a pop up menu will then display the
options available. The operator left clicks on the required label: start, stop or reset.

Two Speed Motor/Pump Starter

A two speed motor starter controls the operation of a fan, pump or compressor drive motor as above. The only
difference is that the pop up window now has the facility to change the motor from low to high speed or vice
versa.

Pump Starter with Count Supervision

This type of motor starter controls the operation of a pump or similar motor as above. The only difference is
that the starts of the motor are counted and blocking may occur if a preset number of starts is exceeded within
a specified time. The operation pop up window is identical to the basic motor starter. The count and set times
are configurable through operator adjustable parameters.

Pre-starter

This type of motor starter controls the operation of a pre-lubrication pump or similar motor as above. The only
difference is that in automatic the motor is controlled by the PMS system. The motor may be run in advance of
a generator engine start and be controlled by lub oil pressure. The operation pop up window is identical to the
basic motor starter.

Draft Issue 1 3.1.4 Alarms and trips Page 8


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Vent Fan Starter

This type of motor starter controls the operation of a vent fan motor and operation is similar to the above
motors. A vent fan motor is interlocked with its associated damper and as such damper status affects (blocks)
the running of the motor. The blocking function may be active in manual or automatic dependant on the
configuration. The operation pop up window is similar to the basic motor starter with the addition of damper
status.

Two Speed Vent Fan Starter

This type of motor starter controls the operation of a two speed vent fan motor and operation is similar to the
above vent fan motor. The operation pop up window is similar to the basic vent fan motor starter with the
addition of the facility to change the motor from low to high speed or vice versa.

Reversible Vent Fan Starter

This type of motor starter controls the operation of a reversible vent fan motor and operation is similar to the
above vent fan motor. The operation pop up window is similar to the basic vent fan motor starter with the
addition of the facility to change the motor from forward to reverse direction or vice versa.

Master/Standby ,Motor/Pump Starter

This type of motor starter controls the operation of a master/standby set of motors/pumps. The usual motor
control facilities are included with the addition of automatic start of the standby set on failure of the master
motor. The operation pop up window is similar to the basic motor starter with the addition of master or standby
status within the pop up window. Alarms are included for standby operation.

Two Speed Master/Standby Motor/Pump Starter

This type of motor starter controls the operation of a two speed master/standby set of motors/pumps. The usual
motor control facilities are included with the addition of automatic start of the standby set on failure of the
master motor and the facility to supplement the running pump on pressure drop (or similar). The motor set may
also be configured to change from high to low speed (or vice versa) to maintain the controlled process. The
operation pop up window is similar to the basic motor starter with the addition of master or standby status and
master low/master high options within the pop up window. Alarms are included for standby operation.

Standby Pump Control for Mechanically Driven Master Pump

This starter controls a back up pump for an engine driven master pump, for example a lub oil pump to
supplement the engine driven lub oil pump. The principle is similar to the master/standby arrangement with the
addition that the standby motor can be configured to cut in at specific revolutions or pressures. The operation
is identical to the master/standby unit described above.

Miscellaneous Machinery Controllers

Pulse Counters

These controllers use a flow meter or log to measure liquid flow and give indication of total consumption and
consumption per hour. The pulse counter includes a ‘total sum exceeded’ function with warning and pre-
warning indications fully adjustable to suit the process. The maximum count is 30,000 units (litres or m3), on
reaching this level the counter resets to zero. The fastest count is 50Hz and the minimum pulse length is 10
millisecs. The pulse counter controller may be used for main engine fuel consumption and other liquid
measurement systems.

3.1.5 Trending Page 1 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


The warning for exceeded total limit is shown as a yellow mark adjacent to the counter value which would
normally be a green mark (when input pulses present) or a red mark (when no input pulses were being
recorded).

All counting, limit and total count values can be logged using the event log.

Differential Pulse Counters

The pulse counter may be configured as a differential pulse counter where the controller receives two pulse
inputs and uses the differential between the two for a process value. An example would be to measure the flow
difference between supply line flow and return line flow of a consumer.

Tank Measurement and Indication

Indication of tank level contents is provided with facilities for conversion and specific gravity and temperature
correction. One or more alarm channels can be specified for supervision of tank levels, content, weight, and
temperature. All process values can be logged using the event log.

Graphic examples of dislays and icons for the above machinery controllers are shown in illustration 3.1.7a.

4.1 Fire Hydrant System

General Description

See section 4.1 in Cargo Systems and Operating Manual for description of foam system and deck fire hydrant
system.

The whole Engine Room is covered by a sea water fire hydrant system which can be pressurised by the
following pumps:

Fire Line Pressurising Pump


No. of sets : 1
Capacity : 25m3/h

Bilge Fire and General Service Pump


No. of sets : 2
Capacity : 350/282m3/h

Emergency Fire Pump


No. of sets : 1
Capacity : 450m3/h

The fire main is normally pressurised from a dedicated pressurising pump. Pressure switches are supplied so
that, should the pressure in the fire main drop slightly, the pressurising pump will automatically stop/start to
maintain the pressure in the fire line.A larger pressure drop, such as a hydrant being opened, will start one of
the Bilge, Fire and GS pumps automatically.

The sea suction valves and discharge valves to the fire main, of the two GS pumps and the fire pump, are to
remain open in normal use and closed when changing over for bilge pumping duties.

Hydrant connections are situated so that at least two hoses can be directed at a fire anywhere in the engine
room.

The GS pumps are capable of high and low duty supply. They should be set up for high duty when used on the
fire main and low duty for bilge and ballast operations.

The Bilge Fire and General Service Pump and the Fire Line Pressurising Pump take suction from the main sea
water cooling line.

For operation of the Emergency Fire Pump see section 5.4

4.3 Fire Detection System

Maker: Consilium Marine.


Type: CS 3004 Salwico Fire Detection System.

The equipment consists of:


Central Panel and Repeater Panel
Ion Chamber Smoke Detectors for Dry Spaces
Ion Chamber Smoke Detectors for Wet Spaces
Ion Chamber Smoke Detectors, Intrinsically Safe
Rate of Rise Heat Detectors
UV-Type Flame Detectors
Door Holding Magnets for Fire Doors
Manual Call and General Alarm Call Points

General Description

The CS3004 Fire Detection system is a computerised, fully addressable analogue fire alarm system with
analogue detectors. The complete fire alarm system, including fire alarm panel, operating panel, control unit
and power supply, is contained in a central cabinet in the wheel house. Four detector loops are connected to the
system. Two console mounted remote repeater panels are included in the system mounted at the fire control
centre and the cargo and engine control room.

The central unit is designed to be user and service friendly. The functions have been divided into four levels to
make it easier for operators with different system knowledge to handle it. The lowest level, Level 1, should be
used by an untrained operator and the highest level, Level 4, should be used by a Service Engineer. Level 4
will provide the Service Engineer with complete information about the status of the system. Each level to be
accessed will require a different pass number to be entered. The system guides the operator through all levels
with instructions on a four-line display. Additional texts can be defined for each detector or loop unit, i.e.
information about the exact location of a unit. The operator can easily change the text.

The Salwico CS3004 comprises a wide range of detectors and sensors to suit different needs and conditions. It
includes detectors for different alarm parameters, like smoke, heat and flames. Manual call points, short circuit
isolators and timers are connected to the loop where required. A fault in the system or a false alarm is detected
immediately since the function of the detectors and other installed loop units are automatically and
continuously tested. The digital outputs of the system can be used to control doors, hatches, ventilation
systems, sprinklers etc.

Central Unit Panel

The central unit panel is divided into two parts, the Fire alarm panel and the Operating panel. The Fire alarm
panel is activated when there is a fire alarm in the system. The operator verifies and supervises the system by
using the different keys and the display on the Operating panel.

Fire Alarm Panel

The Fire alarm panel is activated when a fire alarm is detected on the system. The FIRE indicator flashes and
the section number and detector address in alarm are displayed on the numeric display.

4.4 Quick Closing and Remote Closing Valve System

Introduction

All the outlet valves from the fuel oil and lubricating oil tanks, from which oil could flow to feed a fire, are
equipped with air operated quick closing valves, which are controlled from the fire control station. They are
supplied from an air reservoir situated at the fire control station which is supplied through a non-return valve
from the compressed air system from the Engine Room at a pressure of 7kg/cm2. The reservoir is fitted with a
low pressure alarm transmitter.

The tanks are grouped into two systems with one valve operation for each system. In normal operation the
supply to each group of tanks is vented to atmosphere, but when the cock is opened air is supplied to a piston
which collapses the bridge of the valve.

The valves are reset by venting the air supply and operating the valve handwheel in a close direction to reset
the bridge mechanism and then opening the valve in the normal way.

The fire dampers fitted to various rooms, which can also be closed to prevent the spread of fire, are
pneumatically operated. They are supplied through a three-way cock directly from the air inlet line to the quick
closing valve air reservoir. As above, the cock is normally in a vented condition, but will allow air to flow to
all the dampers when it is opened. The main supply and exhaust fans dampers will immediately close on the
operation of this cock, but the main purifier, M.S.B and incinerator rooms have individual cocks fitted which
must be opened before these dampers will close.

The main sea water suction and overboard valves are opened and closed remotely from the hydraulic control
station.

The emergency generator diesel oil tank quick closing valve is operated by a directly connected wire from
outside the emergency generator room.

Flooding in Engine Room


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


5.1 Flooding in Engine Room

Flooding in the engine room may occur due to a defect in the hull structure, possibly due to grounding,
berthing or collision damage, or, more likely, due to a defect in the sea water pipeline system.

The following steps can prevent or alleviate flooding problems:

Maintain pipelines externally, tighten slack supports and replace broken 'U' bolts on pipe brackets to minimise
fretting in way of supports.

Operate all ship’s side valves regularly, so that they can be operated easily when required. Valves such as fire
pump suction valves, which are normally open, should be closed regularly to prevent a build up of marine
growth.

Before opening seawater filters for cleaning, make sure the shut off valves are tight by opening the vent in the
cover. In any case break the cover joint before removing all cover bolts. The same applies when opening
coolers and pipelines anywhere in the system.

Personnel should be familiar with the position of bilge suctions and the pumps that can be utilised for bilge
pumping duties. They should also be familiar with the position of main sea suction and overboard valves and
know which main suction is currently in use.

The emergency bilge suction valve should be operated on a regular basis. Double bottom sounding pipe cocks
and caps should be secured after use.

Pumps available for bilge pumping duties:

No.1 Bilge Fire and General Service Pump:


Can take suction from the bilge main and has its own direct suction in the port forward bilge well.

No.2 Bilge Fire and General Service Pump:


Takes suction from the bilge main.

E.R. Bilge Pump:


Takes suction from the bilge main and the bilge holding tank.

Oily Water Separator:


Takes suction from the bilge main and the bilge holding tank.

No.1 Main Cooling Sea Water Pump:


Takes suction from its own emergency bilge suction, which is operated by an extended spindle from floor plate
level.

The main sea suction valves, high and low suction, are locally operated hydraulic valves. They can be operated
from floor plate level or the second deck. Similarly the main overboard valve from the vacuum condenser can
be operated from the floor plate level or the second deck.

5.2 Emergency Operation of Main Engine

Emergency Control from Engine Side

See illustrations 5.2a, 2.1.2a, 2.1.2b

In the event of the breakdown of the normal pneumatic manoeuvring system, the governor or its electronics, or
if, for other reasons, direct index-control is required, the engine can be operated from the emergency console
on the engine side.

Changeover with Engine Stopped:

a) Check that valve (105), which is the ‘telegraph handle’ of the emergency control system, is in the
required position.

(Note ! Reversing to a new direction is only possible when STOP valve (102) is activated.)

b) Turn the handle ‘A’ anti-clockwise to free the regulating handwheel ‘B’.

c) Put the blocking arm in the emergency position.

d) Turn the handwheel ‘B’ to move the innermost lever of the change over mechanism ‘C’ to a
position where the impact handwheel ‘P’ is able to enter the tapered slots in both levers. Quickly,
turn the impact handwheel ‘P’ anti-clockwise. This causes disconnection of the governor and
connection of the regulating handwheel ‘B’ to the fuel pumps.

e) Change the position of valve (100) from Normal to Emergency. Air supply is now led to the
valves of the manoeuvring system for emergency running.

f) Ready for start. Start is described in section 2.1.2

Note !: Always keep the threads of the change over mechanism well lubricated.

Change over with a running engine:

a) Reduce the engine load to max. 80% of MCR.

b) Check that the position of reversing valve (105) corresponds to the present running direction.

c) Move the regulating handwheel to bring the tapered slots of the change over mechanism in
position opposite each other.

d) Put the blocking arm in emergency position.

e) Quickly, move the impact handwheel to the opposite position. This will disconnect the fuel
pumps from the governor and connect them to the regulating handle fitted on the emergency
console.

f) Move the change over valve (100) to the emergency position. This vents valve (80) and leads
control air to the valves in the emergency console.

g) If STOP valve (102) is not deactivated, the engine now receives a STOP order.

Draft Issue 1 5.2 Emergency Operation of Main Engine Page 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


h) Activate START valve (101) briefly. This air impulse deactivates STOP valve (102).

i) Set the engine speed directly with the regulating handwheel.

(Note ! When the governor is disengaged, the engine is still protected against overspeed by the electric
overspeed trip, i.e. the engine is stopped automatically if the revolutions increase to the overspeed setting.)

The overspeed shut-down can only be reset by moving the regulating handwheel to the STOP position.
Manoeuvring must therefore be carried out very carefully, especially when navigating in rough weather.

5.3. Emergency Steering

General Description
(See Illustration 2.11b)

The steering gear consists of a tiller turned by a 2 ram/4 cylinder hydraulic system that in turn is driven by two
electric motors. In accordance with IMO regulations the pumps, hydraulic power circuits and rams can operate
as two isolated systems.

The steering gear is fitted with a SAFEMATIC safety system. This system is used to isolate the hydraulic
power circuits in the event of a hydraulic oil loss from the oil expansion tank.

In accordance with IMO regulations, the hydraulic pumps used in the steering gear are supplied with power
from two independent sources. In the event of power failure from the main switchboard, one pump can be
supplied from the Emergency Switchboard.

Operation of Steering Gear on Loss of Bridge Control

a) On loss of steering gear control from the bridge, establish communication with the bridge via the
telephone system. A telephone is located in steering gear compartment.

b) Isolate the steering gear pilot valves from the bridge control signals at the hydraulic pump control
cabinet.

c) Position the steering gear by manual control of the pilot valves located at each pump unit as
directed by the bridge.

Emergency Condition Due to Serious Oil Leakage

a) In the event of a major oil leakage from the system the SAFEMATIC system will come into
operation. The faulty hydraulic system is isolated and an alarm is raised on the bridge control
panel. The second unit will now have been started automatically by the low hydraulic pressure
switch in the system.

Draft Issue 1 5.3. Emergency Steering Page 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


b) Due to the steering gear operating at reduced torque, the ship’s speed should now be reduced to
60% of normal and any rudder turns exceeding 15° to be made in emergency cases only.

c) The faulty hydraulic system should now be isolated manually by operating the local control
valves. See table 5.3a.

d). The SAFEMATIC control on the bridge should now be turned off.

e) After the defect has been remedied and the hydraulic fluid topped up, reset the local stop valves
for normal operation. The SAFEMATIC control can now be turned on again.

Operation of Steering Gear Locally

a) Contact the bridge via telephone

b) Disconnect the solenoid coils from the auto pilot control valve block

c) Operate solenoid valves manually with the push buttons port/starboard according to instructions
from the bridge.

5.4 Emergency Fire Pump Operation

(See illustration 5.4a)

The emergency fire pump is located in the emergency fire pump room, accessed from the steering gear
compartment. The pump is fed from the Emergency Generator 440V Feeder Panel via isolation breaker
EP002. Starting and stopping of the pump can take place from four locations;
Locally at the pump
From the steering gear deck at the top of the well in which the pump is located, containing an
isolation switch and ammeter load indicator
In the foam/fire control room, on the emergency stop control panel
The bridge, on the forward face of the starboard partition

The emergency fire pump draws from an independent sea water chest, in which the pump suction valve
FD501F and discharge valve FD544F, are always maintained in an open position. The pump discharges into
the aft section of the fire main.

The pump and suction valves should be operated and lubricated weekly.

The pump suction line can be proved clear by use of the steam blowing line.

Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999

6.1 U.M.S. 2100 System

Maker: Lyngso Marine


Type: UMS 2100

The system carries out the following tasks:


Acquisition of supervision data. i.e. sensor values
Detection of alarm states i.e. illegal values or states
Announcement of detected alarms
Supervision of engineer response
Logging of alarms and events

On detection of an alarm, the system will announce this to the duty engineer and the bridge, thus making it
possible to operate the ship with ‘unmanned machinery spaces’. The alarm is not only presented as an alarm in
general but also by an alarm group. Thus the engineer can determine the nature of the alarm quickly, e.g. from
either main engine, generators, fire etc.

When the system detects an alarm, it is announced visually and audibly and on various text displays. In
response to the alarm announcement, the engineer must stop the buzzer/horn and acknowledge the alarm to
confirm that he is aware of the situation. Failure to do this will result in the system announcing the alarm in all
possible locations, to ensure that the alarm is noticed.

An alarm has four states:


Normal
Normal and not acknowledged
Present but not acknowledged
Present and acknowledged

The ECR station is the centre of the system, it is from here that the alarms must be acknowledged.

(Note ! Silencing the buzzer/horn has no significance to the alarm state. The alarm must be acknowledged in
order to avoid the ALL ENGINEERS CALL)

Alarm Cut-outs

In some cases alarms may need to be disabled, e.g. if the sensor is faulty, or if work is being carried out that
may cause undesired alarms. These can be activated at the ECR Station or the Local Operating Panel after
inserting a valid password.

WARNING !

Alarm cut-outs should only be carried out by authorised personnel

Bridge and Accommodation Alarm System

The notification of an alarm to the duty engineers takes place through the accommodation Alarm Panels
(AAPs) which are located in the cabins of the duty engineers and the public rooms, and on the Basic Alarm
Panels on the bridge.

6.1 U.M.S. 2100 System Page 1 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


When an alarm occurs, the buzzer on the bridge will sound and the navigator can only silence it locally by
pressing STOP HORN on the bridge panel. This will not effect the status of the alarm anywhere else.

To select/deselect ‘unmanned machinery space’ a request is raised from the ECR panel to the bridge panel.
This may be accepted or rejected by the bridge, or withdrawn by the ECR.

Any of the AAPs located in the cabins can function as public room panels. Therefore a cabin panel not
selected on duty, can be selected to give an alert as the alarm occurs. This allows duty engineers to visit other
cabins other than their own.

Duty Engineer Watch System

When a UMS alarm sounds the duty engineer can acknowledge the alarm either in his cabin or a public room,
depending on his location.

In both cases the action is to first silence the buzzer/horn locally and then proceed to the ECR panel to silence
and acknowledge the alarm at source. Failure to acknowledge the alarm at the ECR panel within
predetermined time (typically 5 minutes) will result in an ALL ENGINEERS CALL on all panels.

A back up engineer can also be selected if necessary, in case the duty engineer does not respond to an alarm,
or if a dead man alarm is released.

UMS2100 Printer

The printer is controlled from the ECR panel and the Bridge panel. However, only the printing of reports is
possible from the Bridge. The following information can be printed:
Alarm/Event log
Data log
Alarm list
Cut-out list

Alarm/Event log

This log contains events concerning:


Alarms changing from normal to alarm and vice versa
Change of state of event channel
Channels entering and leaving cut-out states
System and configuration error messages
Entering and leaving of priviledged modes
Change of duty-engineers and ‘Unmanned Watch Station’ status
Change of system date and time

Data Log

This is a report on channels showing their current value or status.

Alarm List Report

This is a print of the content of the alarm list and it contains all the standing and acknowledged alarms in the

system at the moment the report was ordered. It runs continually but can be interrupted for reports of other
types, such as Noon Log reports each day.

Cut-out List Report

This contains all the channels which are in the automatic or manual cut-out list state.

Operator Panels

There are 3 types of panels available:


General Operator Stations (GOS) (decribed in section 3.1)
Basic Alarm Panels (BAP)
Accommodation Alarm Panels (AAP)

BAPs are fitted at the wheelhouse, main switchboard and ECR and AAPs are fitted in engineers’ cabins and
public rooms. During the periods when the engine room is manned the alarms are announced and
acknowledged from the ECR BAP or the related GOS.

When the engine room is unmanned, the AAPs enable the system to distribute the alarm announcement to the
duty engineer’s cabin, the public rooms and the bridge.

Basic Alarm Panels(BAP)

The panel consists of the following features:


A four line LCD display with backlight
A buzzer
An alarm LED
A keyboard
Alarm Group LEDs

Accommodation Alarm Panels(AAP)

The panel consists of the following features:


A two line LCD display with backlight
A buzzer
An alarm LED
A keyboard
Alarm Group LEDs

Basic description of features


LCD display: Displays the numerical data
Buzzer: Draws the engineer’s attention to any new situation in the UMS2100
Alarm LED: Used for the indication of unacknowledged alarms
Keyboard Soft keys: The functions of these keys are shown on the display

6.1 U.M.S. 2100 System Page 3 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


Function keys: Enable the operator to access a unique function or mode in the UMS 2100.
When one of the keys is pressed an LED on the key will be illuminated.
Alarm Group LEDs: These display the status of ten different alarm groups via the group alarm LEDs.

Duty LED function

This is used for the following purposes:


Indication that a duty engineer has been selected
Indication that a duty call is unacknowledged
Indication that a duty selection is in progress

Automatic duty call announcement at the alarm panels

When a duty engineer has been selected, a duty call is given when a new alarm appears. The call is announced
on the panels at the following locations:
In the duty enginee’rs cabin
The public rooms
On the bridge, if ‘Unattended Engine room’ is selected

The panels react in the following way:


The buzzer flashes
The alarm LED flashes
The duty LED flashes

The duty call is acknowledged in the following ways:


By pressing the STOP HORN in the duty engineer’s cabin
By pressing the STOP HORN on the BAP

Acknowledging the alarm at the ECR

When the duty call has been acknowledged the following occurs:
All buzzers which have been started due to the duty call are stopped
The duty LED stops flashing

All engineers call

The call is announced on all the panels at the following locations:


The public rooms
On the bridge
In all cabins
In the ECR

(Note ! When an ‘all engineers call’ is initiated the buzzers cannot be stopped locally. All of the buzzers sound
until all the alarms have been acknowledged from the ECR watch station-BAP.)

6.2 Talkback System

The talkback system fitted is a UHF radio system. There are base stations fitted at the wheelhouse and engine
and cargo control consoles. There are transmitting and receiving omnidirectional antennas fitted within the
engine room, steering gear, pump room and bosun’s store to enable access to the system using portable UHF
transceivers. The antennas are all mounted out on the open deck to enable accurate and reliable
communication. whilst identical antennas are fitted inside the rooms to receive and transmit signals to the
personnel within these rooms.

The base stations have external speakers fitted whilst the engine room has portable headset type transceivers
(headphones and microphones) to enable speech within the noisy environment.

6.3 Telephones

Automatic Telephones

The automatic telephone system is a solid state electronic telephone switching system with integrated circuit
components which ensure high quality transmission. It is fitted to provide communication throughout the
vessel. Alongside each extension is a directory of all extensions in the system. Telephones are situated in all
officer and crew cabins, including separate bedrooms, public rooms, galley, emergency generator room, fire
control station, engine room workshop, M.E. manoeuvring stations and E.R. floor. A three-digit numbering
system is used.

The exchange is supplied by the 220V system and in the event of power failure, from the 24V emergency
battery system.

Rotating lights and horns are activated in the machinery spaces when the E.R. telephones are accessed.

Interrupt Facility Operation

Individual extensions can be configured with different levels of priority. Telephones on a higher user extension
can interrupt lower priority extensions when the called party is busy. This is done as follows:

a) High priority caller hears busy tone on calling.

b) the caller makes ‘hook-flash’ (presses handset switch).

c) On confirming dial tone again, caller presses ‘5’.

d) Called party hears warning interrupt tone for 2 seconds then 3-way speech is established.
If the called party is also high priority, the caller hears the interrupt tone returned and cannot interrupt.

Paging Facility Operation

Individual extensions can be configured with the paging facility. The procedure is as follows:

a) Caller lifts handset.

b) Caller presses ‘0’.

c) After a short delay the caller hears an electronic chime which is also broadcast.

d) Caller then relays message.

6.2 Talkback System Page 1 Draft Issue 1


Document Title: Machinery Manual Revision: 1

Document Section 1: Date: September 1999


e) If the paging system is busy the caller hears the telephone busy tone.

Callback Facility Operation

Individual extensions are configured with the callback facility. The procedure is as follows:

a) Caller lifts the handset and calls the extension which is busy.

b) Caller makes ‘hook-flash’ (presses handset switch).

c) On confirming the dial tone again the caller presses ‘4’.

d) After a short delay the caller hears a ringback tone.

e) When the called party completes their call, the ringback tone sounds at the callers telephone.

f) Called party phone rings as normal.

Battery Telephone System

The common battery system is used for important/emergency conversation between stations. the system is
designed to supplement the automatic telephone system during normal situations or provide emergency
communication on failure of the automatic telephone system.

The equipment uses a 24V battery backed supply. The telephones themselves are of a robust drip proof and
vibration proof design to provide protection against damage.

Battery telephones are fitted in the following spaces:


No.1 Wheelhouse console
No.2 Cargo control console
No.3 Engine control console
No.4 Main switchboard room
No.5 Fire control station
No.6 Main engine manoeuvring station
No.7 Steering gear room
No.8 Emergency generator room
