SYSTEM PURPOSE
• The Compressed Air system is designed to generate and supply compressed
air for ship systems by:
 Compressed Starting Air System;
 Control & Service Air System
SIMULADOR DE MÁQUINAS MARÍTIMAS
INSTITUTO DE ENGENHARIAS E CIÊNCIAS DO MAR

• To ensure the functionality of the components in the compressed air

UNIVERSIDADE TÉCNICA DO ATLÂNTICO

system, the compressed air has to be dry and clean from solid particles and
oil.
COMPRESSED STARTING AIR SYSTEM
• The Starting Air System produces and supplies compressed air for starting
MEs and DEs.
• All engines are started by means of compressed air with a nominal pressure
of 3 MPa (30 bar).
• The start is performed by direct injection of air into the cylinders through
the starting air valves in the cylinder heads.
• The master starting valve is built on the engine and can be operated both
manually and electrically.

SYSTEM PURPOSE
• In automatic operating mode, when the pressure in the main receivers drops
<26 bar (default) the LEAD compressor automatically starts.
• If the pressure continues to reduce <24 bar (default) then the FOLLOW
compressor starts.

SIMULADOR DE MÁQUINAS MARÍTIMAS

INSTITUTO DE ENGENHARIAS E CIÊNCIAS DO MAR

• When the pressure reaches 28 bar the FOLLOW compressor stops. The
UNIVERSIDADE TÉCNICA DO ATLÂNTICO

LEAD compressor stops when the pressure reaches 30 bar.

• The compressors can be also operated manually from the LOP.

CONTROL & SERVICE AIR SYSTEM

• The Control & Service Air System produces and supplies com pressed air
for pneumatic mechanisms (e.g. valves, pumps) and safety and control
devices.
• In automatic operating mode, when the pressure in the Air receiver drops
<7.5 bar the compressor automatically starts.
• The compressor can be also operated manually from the LOP.
