Marine Engineering

This is the officially distributed MSC training course... The unit consists of five major sections - the compressor section, condenser section, evaporator section, control box section, and the electronic partflow section. The compressor section includes compressor, discharge valve, suction valve, high pressure switch, pressure regulator valve, stepper suction modulation valve fitted on the new units which replaces the suction modulation valve and the suction solenoid valve for the older ones, quench valve and supply air sensors.

The units are fitted with two supply air sensors - one sensor is needed for recording data while the other one is for controlling cargo temperature. Then there are power cabling and unit identification plate, receiver tank, king valve, filter dryer, condenser section including air cool condenser coil, condenser fan grill, fan and motor. The condenser fan causes the air to be drawn from the bottom of the condenser coil and to be discharged through the condenser fan grill.

The evaporator section includes access panels, heaters, fresh air vents; the purpose of fresh air vents is to provide ventilation for commodities that require fresh air circulation. The vent must be closed when transporting frozen cargoes. To adjust the percentage of air flow, loosen the nut and rotate the disk to the desired percentage of air flow...

An excellent training course from one of the leading classification societies. The training set consists of the booklet accompanied by the two videos. The booklet opens with the introduction to the FQT service provided by DNV. Subject service was introduced with the intention to provide required support to the maritime shipping community. The volume will give readers the information about the line sampler and sampling kit.

The document will also cover the sampling procedure including basic safety considerations, preparation of fuel samples, taking and maintaining samples as required by the MARPOL Annex VI, dispatch of the samples and other aspects. The next chapter of the booklet provides general guidance on bunkering and FSC, standing for the fuel system check samples, their distribution, sampling procedure plus reporting and testing requirements. There are two chapters giving readers necessary guidelines and recommendations for the disputes and for tank and investigation samples.

The troubleshooting and assistance issues have been dealt with in a separate chapter. The closing chapter of the book is dealing with the information relating to the interpreting of test parameters such as water and density, viscosity and air, flash point and catalytic fines. Compatibility testing and acid number, and many other important points.

The poor maintenance and incorrect operating of the shipboard machinery may result in a disaster. Such disasters can be really catastrophic, presenting immediate danger to the health of the people onboard, cause harm to the environment, etc. However, most of the accidents can be avoided. The present video training lesson is intended to acquaint the trainees with the shipboard machinery alarms and protection devices.

Every person engaged in the operation and maintenance of any machinery piece on board ship shall have a sound understanding of these devices as they play a critically important role in providing safe and effective operation. Of course, the main reference shall be made by the engineers to the user manuals and other documents accompanying the machinery items.

However, there is a need for some general introductory information that would allow future marine engineers to have an idea of how important these devices are; the experienced engineers, in turn, may use this video to refresh their technical knowledge. Needless to say that it is a duty of every single person in the engine room to pay close attention to the protective devices and alarms installed on the machinery.

We recommend that you have a close look into this mini-collection of training videos. The set consists of twelve video lessons each covering one aspect of marine engineering. Together they will provide you with the information about engine type designation and engine safety, start and stop routines of diesel engines, engine safety and governing systems, fuel oil system and jacket cooling water system, main and rocker arm lubricating oil systems, control air system, exhaust system and engine air starting system.

The main objective of this training set is to make the operational personnel duly acquainted with the important aspects of operating and maintenance of the machinery they deal with when performing their routing assignments. The material is presented in a form of animations with the text and images and this makes the learning process go much smoother and facilitates easier understanding of the subject by the trainees.

That is why these videos can be used on board for training crew members as well as ashore and even for self-training. All explanations are very clear and the supplementary materials are informative making it easy to follow even to the novices in the world of marine engineering.

One more instructional video from B&W specialists - the present film is devoted to the process of adjustment of the mechanical VIT-system. The VIT, standing for the variable injection timing, is a function of the diesel engine associated with the load-dependent adjustment of pressure developed in the combustion chamber and allowing to get to the maximum pressure during the part load helping to decrease the consumption of the fuel oil and also to reach to the efficient combustion.

The content of this training video will be of practical use to the personnel engaged in the operation and maintenance of the marine diesel engines with the VIT, and facing necessity to perform the associated adjustment. The explanation provided is very clear and will be understandable even to the people without too extensive experience with subject marine engines, who would like to use this video as a reference and supplementary training material. As it is the case with any other training videos from B&W, this one is remarkably informative and interesting, and will be appreciated by any engineer and student.

This is the instructional video produced and officially released for distribution by the B&W, one of the world leaders in production of the marine diesel engines. This film is devoted to the main bearings installed on the engines of S-K-L 60-80MC series.

It will demonstrate how to perform the inspection of the main bearings in the most effective and correct manner. The content of this video will be greatly appreciated by all crew members involved in the periodic maintenance and repair of these marine diesel engines as it provides invaluable visual instructions that will perfectly supplement the information obtained from the books and instruction/maintenance manuals for the engines.

The more information you have, the better will be the inspection you perform. An absolutely recommended one for the marine engineers working on the vessels with B&W engines installed.

An excellent training video, also produced by B&W pro's - this one has been devoted to the overhaul of the marine diesel engine pistons. As the title implies, it is intended to provide the marine engineers, and particularly crew members and other specialists involved in the overhaul of the pistons, with the required supplementary visual aid that will help them in performing subject task and can be used in addition to the info contained in the relevant technical manuals coming with the engines.

All of the operations have been covered and commented in a professional manner. Please also check all other B&W instructional videos we may offer - overhaul of exhaust valve, overhaul of the fuel valves, and overhauling the stuffing box - since they are all equally useful both for familiarization purposes and for practical use.

This is one more instructional video offered by the B&W company professionals and providing the crew members with the necessary visual aid to conducting the periodical overhauling of the fuel valves. This video film should be used as a very valuable visual supplement to the information contained in the operation and maintenance manuals, some of them are presented in this section of our website for familiarization.

Obviously, watching something being done will be of great use for the person engaged in the subject overhaul. In addition, believe you may wish to have a look into the other training packs we have, for instance Note that there are some other instructional videos available at our website, such as the ones devoted to the overhaul of piston and overhaul of the exhaust valve, overhauling the stuffing box - have them all saved and use whenever necessary.
