ENGINE AUXILIARY

BY:GROUP FOUR
SO WHAT IS ENGINE AUXILIARY?
• Auxiliary machinery- A term applied collectively to all machinery and
apparatus forming the nonpropulsive equipment of a ship. -
Deck auxiliaries, deck equipment, deck machinery –
All machinery used for working the vessel and handling the cargo:
winches, windlass, steering gear, cranes, etc.
TYPES OF AUXILIARY MACHINERY

machines, air compressors, oil tanks, water tanks, bow thrusters,
stabilizers, fire fighting installations,
steam turbine
• As its name suggests, a steam turbine is powered by the energy in hot, gaseous
steam—and works like a cross between a wind turbine and a water turbine. Like a
wind turbine, it has spinning blades that turn when steam blows past them; like a
water turbine, the blades fit snugly inside a sealed outer container so the steam is
constrained and forced past them at speed. Steam turbines use high-pressure steam
to turn electricity generators at incredibly high speeds, so they rotate much faster
than either wind or water turbines. (A typical power plant steam turbine rotates at
1800–3600 rpm—about 100–200 times faster than the blades spin on a typical wind
turbine, which needs to use a gearbox to drive a generator quickly enough to make
electricity.) Just like in a steam engine, the steam expands and cools as it flows past a
steam turbine's blades, giving up as much as possible of the energy it originally
contained. But, unlike in a steam engine, the flow of the steam turns the blades
continually: there's no push-pull action or waiting for a piston to return to position in
the cylinder because steam is pushing the blades around all the time. A steam
turbine is also much more compact than a steam engine: spinning blades allow
steam to expand and drive a machine in a much smaller space than a piston-cylinder-
crank arrangement would need. That's one reason why steam turbines were quickly
adopted for powering ships, where space was very limited.
Diesel engine
• Diesel engine- A type of internal combustion engine  which ignites fuel by
injecting it into hot, high-pressure air in a combustion chamber. It has
neither carburettor nor ignition system. The fuel is injected in the form of a
very fine spray, by means of a nozzle, into the combustion chamber. There it
is ignited by the heat of compressed air which the chamber has been
charged with. The diesel engine operates within a fixed sequence of events,
which may be achieved either in four or two strokes. The low-speed (i.e. 70
to 120 rev/min) two-stroke diesel is used for main propulsion units, since it
can be directly coupled to the propeller and shafting. The medium speed
four-stroke engine (250 – 1200 rev/min) is used for the auxiliaries such as
alternators and also for main propulsion with a gearbox.
propulsion
• Propulsion- A propulsion system is a machine that produces thrust to
push an object forward. On airplanes, thrust is usually generated
through some application of Newton's third law of action and
reaction. A gas, or working fluid, is accelerated by the engine, and the
reaction to this acceleration produces a force on the engine.
propeller shaft
• propeller shaft- A drive shaft, driveshaft, driving shaft, tailshaft,
propeller shaft, or Cardan shaft is a mechanical component for
transmitting torque and rotation, usually used to connect other
components of a drive train that cannot be connected directly
because of distance or the need to allow for relative movement
between them
bearings
• Bearing- A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative
movement to the desired motion and reduces friction between
moving parts.-
cranes
• Cranes- A crane is a mechanical lifting device equipped with a winder,
wire ropes, and sheaves that can be used to lift and lower materials
and to move them horizontally. It uses one or more simple machines
to create mechanical advantage and thus move loads beyond the
normal capability of a human. Cranes are commonly employed in the 
transport industry for the loading and unloading of freight; in the 
construction industry for the movement of materials; and in the
manufacturing industry for the assembly of heavy equipment.
winches
• Winches- A winch is a mechanical device that is used to pull in (wind
up) or let out (wind out) or otherwise adjust the tension of a rope or
wire rope (also called "cable" or "wire cable"). In its simplest form, it
consists of a spool (or drum) attached to a hand crank.
 steering
•  steering- The wheel of a ship is the modern method of changing the
angle of the rudder to change the direction of the boat or ship. It is
also called the helm, together with the rest of the steering
 mechanism.
purifier
• Purifier- The various types of purifier are similar, in the sense that
they "clean" the medium of impurities such as sand and water,
through centripetal action. The purifier is essentially an enclosed high
speed spinning bowl where the medium is continuosly fed into the
chamber.
pump
• Pump- A Pump is a machine used to raise liquids from a low point to a
high point. A pumping system on a ship will consist of suction piping,
a pump and discharge piping. The system is arranged to provide a
positive pressure or head at some point and discharge the liquid
Filters
• Filters and Strainers on Ship – Types and Uses. ... The filter is a fine
mesh screen which is used to remove impurities from oil, water, and
air on the ship. Filters are mounted in pairs as a duplex system so that
one can be used and other is kept on standby at a time.s and Strainers

coolers
• Coolers- The sea water is used as a cooling media in large seawater
cooled heat exchangers to cool the fresh water of the closed circuit.
They are the central coolers of the system and are normally installed
in a duplex.
 oily water separator
• oily water separator- An oily water separator (marine) is a piece of
equipment specific to the shipping or marine industry. It is used to
separate oil and water mixtures into their separate components. This
page refers exclusively to oily water separators aboard marine vessels.
auxiliary steam boilers
• auxiliary steam boilers- A steam generator on a ship is an auxiliary
boiler which draws high-pressure superheated steam from the
vessel's propulsion system to generate low pressure saturated steam
steering gears
• steering gears- The steering gearbox contains the gears that transmit
the driver's steering inputs to the steering linkage that turns the
wheels, and it multiplies the driver's steering changes so that the
front wheels move more than the steering wheel.
air compressors
• air compressors- Marine air compressor is an extremely important
auxiliary machinery on ships and other ocean going vessels. It is used
for producing compressed air, which has a number of applications on
board, both in the engine and deck departments.
oil tanks
oil tanks - A fuel tank is a safe container for flammable fluids. Though
any storage tank for fuel may be so called, the term is typically applied
to part of an engine system in which the fuel is stored and propelled or
released into an engine.
Water tanks
• Water tank- are used to provide storage of water for use in many
applications, drinking water, irrigation agriculture, fire suppression, 
agricultural farming, both for plants and livestock, chemical
 manufacturing, food preparation as well as many other uses. Water
 tank parameters include the general design of the tank, and choice of
construction materials, linings
Bow thrusters
• Bow thrusters-  are a type of propeller-shaped system fitted either on
the bow (forward part) and stern part (known as stern thruster) of
the ship. They are smaller in size as compared to the ship's propeller
and help in better manoeuvrability of the vessel at lower speeds.
 Stabilizers
• Ship stabilizers (or stabilizers) are fins or rotors mounted beneath the
waterline and emerging laterally from the hull to reduce a ship's roll
due to wind or waves. Active fins are controlled by a gyroscopic
control system.
Fire fighting installations
• Fire fighting installations- A variety of different fixed fire fighting
installations exist, some of which are specifically designed for certain
types of ship. A selection of the more general installations will now
be outlined. An outbreak of fire requires a source of ignition, the
presence of combustible material and ample oxygen.
