6. The modern engine room is a conglomeration of gears, generators, compressors, separators, boilers and every kind of mechanical contrivance imaginable, all linked together by a network of pipelines, regulators and valves to form a complex power house. ENGINE ROOM – Arrangement

7. ENGINE ROOM – A complex house (Source: www.nl.123RF.com)

8. A modern engine room is many decks high and most of the decks are in the form of galleries in order to permit the location of diesel alternators, air compressors and receivers, fuel oil and lubricating oil treatment units, valves, pumps, tanks, etc. ENGINE ROOM – Arrangement

9. CROSS-SECTION of the Liberty Ship ENGINE ROOM(Source: www.navy.memorieshop.com)

10. The main machinery is usually located at the floor plate level so that there is a wide clear opening over it. This arrangement enables removal of large machinery without the need of tearing up decks, piping or other equipment. An overhead gantry crane is used to lift the heavy components of machinery such as engine blocks, cylinder liners, pistons, connecting rods, crankshafts or turbine casing and rotors during repairs or inspections.

12. CLEAR SPECE & GALLERY over the main engine(Source: www.masterfile.comstock-photographyimage)

13. ENGINE ROOM – Arrangement • The decks in the engine room are usually made of special non-skid plates and steel gratings. • The advantages of gratings: • permit observation of activity below • are easily removed

15. What does the engine room of a modern ship look like? • Where is most auxiliary machinery located? • Why must the space over the main machinery be left clear? • What is the engine room gantry crane used for? • What are engine room decks made of? • What are the advantages of the floor gratings? QUESTIONS

16. The engine room remote control station is usually located on a raised platform and is air-conditioned as well as sound-insulated. • The control room is the place from where the engineers can remotely control: • the main engine • other vital machinery such as generators, main compressors, steering gear unit pump, main pumps, etc. ENGINE ROOM – Control Room

17. ENGINE ROOM CONTROL CENTRE(Source: www.oceanlab.abdn.ac.uk)

18. Operating data such as pressures, temperatures, tank levels, speed, rev/min, etc. are automatically displayed and recorded if necessary. The station is equipped with a control stand (control desk), besides including the main switchboard, divided in conscpicious sections containing the main remote controls, display and alarm instruments. ENGINE ROOM – Control Room

19. CONTROL ROOM on the Mariner of the Seas(Source: www.ship-technology.com/mariner)

20. A communication system connects the control station to the wheelhouse, engineers’ living quarters as well as to other parts of the ship. ENGINE ROOM – Control Room

21. Most of newly-built ships today are provided with fully-automated unattended machinery space (UMS). • Automated control • is more acurate and vigilant than manual control • improves supervision efficiency and spots incipient faults more readily than human eyes • allows the ER staff more time to deal with maintenance problems • cuts down maintenance costs • prevents long delays due to engine failure • reduces consumption of fuel • reduces crew requirements = reduces operational costs... Benefits of shipboard automation

22. What benefits does automatic control provide to the engine room staff? • What benefits does automatic control provide to the shipowner? • What items can be controlled from the ER station? • What does the control stand (control desk) consist of? • What is the engine room communication system linked to? • What is data logging?
