Auxiliary Machinery

Marine auxiliary engines are specifically designed to withstand the demanding conditions they will encounter when installed and used on ships. These engines play a crucial role in ensuring continuous power supply to various systems on board, which is essential for smooth ship operations. To maximize the efficiency and performance of these machinery systems, it is imperative to have a thorough understanding of the correct operating procedures. Moreover, in case of any unavoidable interruptions, it is equally important to be well-versed in the correct sequence of restarting the machinery and following the troubleshooting procedures. The responsibility falls on the ship's engineer in-charge to acquaint themselves with the operating manual of the auxiliary engine, including the recommended operating parameters and the scheduled maintenance tasks. By familiarizing themselves with these essential details, the engineer can ensure the smooth and uninterrupted operation of the auxiliary engine, thereby supporting the overall functioning of the ship.This book covers a wide range of topics that are crucial to the understanding of these systems. It focuses on areas like refrigeration and air conditioning systems, fuel and lubricating oil systems, steam and electrical power generation systems, and more.
