W-Xpert Low speed Simulator
W-Xpert: Low Speed Electronically Controlled

Engine Room Simulator
The Low Speed Engine Room Simulator WIN G&D 6W-X62 has been
based on modern, electronically controlled solutions, being presently
used in medium-sized engine rooms (one two-stroke type main engine
with fixed pitch propeller).
W-Xpert has been developed to comply with:

 STCW Code: Section A-1/12 and Section B-1/12.
 ISM Code: Section 6 and Section 8.
The main educational tasks which can be accomplished using W-Xpert:
 Learning typical ship's engine room operating routines.
 Learning to operate a ship's engine room. The user can carry out
any operational task starting from different set-ups, both pre-
prepared and saved by a user.
 Learning how to take corrective action when faults occur.
Different faults can be simulated and mixed during the simulator
run-time or loaded from disk.
The simulator introduces 3D model of the Engine Room, based on the
real equipment. In order to create the impression of working in the real
environment, it provides 3D sound which can be listened on 2, 4 or more
speakers.
The simulated control room enables remote control of engine room

equipment and control panels model the most important elements.
W-Xpert is modelled on a Wartsila X62/72 type engine.
Mimic diagrams allow zooming in to any part of the engine room.
The electric power plant consists of three diesel generators and one
emergency diesel generator. Shore supply is also simulated.
W-Xpert models the following systems:

 Fuel System
 Cooling & Fire System
 Lubricating System
 Compressed Air System
 Power Plant
 Emergency Generator
 Steam System
 Sanitary Water System
 Bilge System
 Steering Gear
 Sewage Treatment Plant
 Refrigerating System
 Air Conditioning System
 Bilge System
 Fresh Water Generator
 Incinerator System
 Water Mist System
 CO2 System
W-Xpert’s 3D model
includes very realistic,
animated virtual controls
such as switches, gauges
and lamps.
The Zoom technique

allows fast navigation in
the 3D environment and
easy access to details.
Here is a list of W-Xpert main features:

 W-Xpert is a highly realistic simulator for ship’s engine room
training which can also be used as a low cost introductory
simulator.
 The mathematical model simulates a typical ship’s engine room
with one 2-stroke, low speed engines, reduction gear and
controllable pitch propeller.
 All vital auxiliary systems have been implemented.
 The user interface includes virtual controls and alarms and creates
very realistic environment.
 The 3D virtual reality with active valves, tank level indicators and
selected digital gauges enable comfortable engine room operation
and monitoring.
 Multichannel digitized sound provides a very realistic ships’ engine
room feel. Sound effects include: engine sound correlated with
engine speed, diesel generator starting and running, open
indicator valve sound, alarm and machine telegraph buzzers.
 Emergency procedure training including fire simulations.
Virtual Engine Room
Virtual Engine Room (VER) are PC-based full mission engine room
simulators developed to comply with STCW and ISM Code. This means
that all the important systems in a ship’s engine room have been
modelled and implemented. Both simulators have type approval for
STCW training.
VER has all the consoles, lamps, switches, levers, pushbuttons and
analogue gauges and digitised sounds required. The mimic diagrams are
similar to those found in 'big' full missions simulators, divided into
smaller sections. The multichannel digitised sound is fully comparable
with the best simulators’ available today.
VER has many features which are not currently available in full mission
simulators including built in checklists that can be used by students
when learning by themselves. This compact simulator has also another
unique feature - Computer Aided Assessment (CAA) for student
competency evaluation.
