Study Notes
Marine Power Plant (DMARPOWER)
- Course: Semester 1, 2023-2024
- Instructor: Chief Eng. Hamid Reza Soltani
- Institution: International Maritime College Oman
Lesson 11 and 12: Marine Power Plant (Deck Officer) - Diesel Engine Operating Systems (Part 3 and 4)
- Focus on the diesel engine operation and systems
- Covers diesel engine components and how they work together
- Learning objectives include understanding crankcase oil mist detector functions, and auxiliary diesel engine starting systems (using diagrams), including various starting systems
Crankcase Oil Mist Detector (Task 9)
- Function: Detects oil mist in the crankcase
- Operation: Engine lubrication oil splashes around the crankshaft, creating mist within the crankcase.
- The mist is not ignitable.
- The detector measures oil mist levels. Warnings are triggered when these levels exceed normal values.
Diesel Engine Starting System
- Explained as various methods
- Methods include:
- Manual handle or pulling wire
- Electric starter motor and battery (same as emergency generator and lifeboat engine)
- Starting air motor (same as diesel generator)
- Staring air system (same as main engine)
Auxiliary Diesel Engine Starting System (4-Stroke) (Task 10)
- Used to start medium-speed diesel engines
- The system is a starting air system, same as diesel generators onboard
- Diagrams show the system process for auxiliary diesel engine starting
- Discussion of component functions and the engine starting process is required
Main Diesel Engine Starting System (2-Stroke) (Task 11)
- Explains the cross-head 2-stroke diesel engine starting air system
- Similar to the main engines onboard the vessel
- Diagram shows the air system and its components and how they relate to engine starting
- Full system operation, function of components, and discussion of engine starting process are expected
