  • 22. Author Introduction ZEESHAN AHMED , Marine Engineer . After doing FSc(pre-engineering) from PAF(fazaia) intermediate college Lahore cantt. I joined Pakistan Marine Academy and choose Marine engineering branch. Two years of training at academy (practical + theoretical) we learned a lot of thing like CNC (computerize numeric code), trained on various models (like control valve, solenoid valve, flow meter, refrigeration system, CPP propeller, Main engine model (TWO stroke), Boiler model (water tube) ……………………………….. in GEK (general engineering knowledge) lab, Mechanical and physics lab, Engineering workshop. ETC . After two years, we joined PNSC workshop for the training of ONE year Industrial training. That was also the golden time where we learnt a lot of things at different shops as well as onboard (repairing and watch keeping). I learn many thing on tanker E.g. MT Johar (learn how to dismantle turbine rotor from casing and what are the precautionary measurement while working on turbine, learn how to change the diaphragm(stationary blade) Plate type heat exchanger gasket change, shell and tube Cooler Anode replacement and (Cont.)
  • 23. Introduction (cont.) cleaning of SALT WATER tubes etc.) , MT Swat (major thing which I learn in Swat is how to dismantle head of main unit and copper gasket replacement with a minor facing defect which is found during overhauling which is filled and faced by Belzona) , MT Lahore(About the DEAD MAN ALARM, Alpha lubricator for Cylinder Main Engine Unit, Pump operation and watch keeping), MT Quetta(Auto load sharing of Generator Set, MT Karachi (Dry washing of the main engine turbocharger with granules, water washing of IG Fan of Inert Gas system, sludge removal of from purifier(centrifuge) etc., . One thing I want to added is that the trend in ship building is more toward based on electronic and electrical application. So a marine engineer must strong in automation, instrumentation and control system. PLC (programmable and logic control) and SCADA (supervisory central access and data acquisition) are the upcoming technology that are using on modern ship. The latest engine of MAN B&W is based on Camless technology. Chain is removed ; fuel pump and exhaust valve actuation is control by hydraulic servo(lub) oil which is driven by Axial piston pump mounted on the Fly wheel. Regards, Z.A.

Crankcase explosion relief valve

In the name of Allah who is the most beneficient and merciful

As a practical safe guard against crankcase explosion relief valves or doors are fitted. These valves serve to relieve excessive crankcase pressures and stop flames being emitted from the crankcase. The cause of crankcase explosion is a “hot spot” resulting due to hot running bearing or any other overheated machinery part. In normal condition air in crankcase contains oil droplets and if these oil droplets will come into contact of a hot spot it will be vaporized and will form explosive oil mist. Regulation demands that for engines of over 300 mm bore, one crankcase relief valves is fitted to each crankcase and chain drive casing. Figure shows a crank case relief valve is fitted to diesel engine crank case. It consists of a light spring loaded non return disc valve of simple construction. The valve disc is of aluminum alloy which reduces its mass and the inertia to be overcome when opening or closing valve rapidly. The large “diameter” light spring holds the valve closed against its seat. The valve landing must make a gas and oil tight seal when closed and a nonstick oil and heat resisting rubber ring is fitted to the disc face. A deflector is fitted on the outside of the engine to safeguard personnel from the out flowing gases, an inside the engine, other valve opening, and oil wetted gauze acts as a flame trap to stop any flames leaving the crank case after operation the valve will close automatically under the action of the spring. When wet with oil the gauze dissipated heat at greater rate and become more effective as a flame trap.

The valve spring is designed to allow the valve open under an internal pressure of approximately 5 KW/M2 and will close automatically when pressure has been relieved.

Crank case doors should be robust(determined) to prevent damages or rupture(break or burst suddenly) before relief valves operate to relieve pressure valves will required little maintenance but should be tested periodically by hand, the spring should be inspected and the guaze cleaned.
