This outlines the key systems, machinery and equipment found in a ship?s engine room, from their function to operation and maintenance. It is an introduction for marine engineering HNC, HND and foundation degree students and cadets, and a useful guide for deck officers and cadets.
Introduction to Ship Engine Room Systems outlines the key systems, machinery and equipment found in a ship?s engine room. It explores the basics of their function with overall practical guidance for engine room operation and maintenance, recognising emerging environmental challenges. It covers the following topics:
- The role and function of the steering and propulsion systems
- Power generation
- The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems
- The water management system
- Engine room fires and emergency response systems
- Engine room watch procedures and checklists
The book serves as an accessible introductory text for engineering students at HNC, HND, and foundation degree level, marine engineering cadets, and non-engineering marine professionals such as deck officers and cadets who want a general guide to how the engine room functions.
