  1. Marine Oily Handling Devices and Pollution Prevention Chapter 1 Lesson 5 COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS

  2. OIL/WATER SEPARATOR 1.5 COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS • Air at high pressure, i.e. at 25 bar or more, is required for starting main and auxiliary engines in motorships. • Air at low pressure, say at 6 bar or less is required for much remote or temperature or pressure controlled equipment, for which purpose it must be clean and oil-free.

  3. 1.5 COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS • A typical simple h.p. air system is shown in the below Figure; the arrangement of a larger system can be readily envisaged from this diagram.

  5. 1.5 COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS • It is a requirement that there shall be at least two reservoirs whose combined capacity allows the main engines to be started twelve times if they are reversible and six times if they are not, while the compressors are idle .

  6. 1.5 COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS • Safety valves must be fitted; these may be common to the compressors but if they can be isolated from the reservoirs, the latter must have fusible plugs fitted to prevent rupture in the event of fire. • Reservoirs are designed, built and tested similarly to boiler drums. • Compressors are discussed, two or more, independently driven, are usually fitted, each capable of charging one reservoir from zero to working pressures in a reasonable time.

  7. 1.5 COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS • Explosions can and do occur in starting air pipes caused by the ignition of oil or vapour gaining access from compressors or defective engine starting valves.

  8. 1.5 COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS • The need for careful maintenance, cleaning and draining is important. • Bursting discs are fitted (usually in the form of a thin copper closed-ended cylinder) to minimize and localize the effects.

  9. AIR RECEIVER NRV SDNR VALVE 1.5 COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS • Starting air for auxiliary engines may be taken directly from the main reservoirs or through an auxiliary reservoir (which can be kept at full pressure at all times). AUX.AIR RECEIVER

  10. 1.5 COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS • Low pressure air is usually taken through reducing valves or pressure regulators to a low pressure reservoir. • Alternatively, the l.p. reservoir may be charged by an oil-free compressor, rotary or reciprocating.
