Lubrication oil system and Starting air system

Lubrication oil system: The successful operation of any engine or machine and its trouble free life depends on effective lubrication which involves the formation and maintenance of a lubrication oil film between the moving parts. LO system providing lubricating films, remove heat from oil cooled postons, neutralize acidic products of combustion, cleans hot moving parts of carbonaceous doposits, resist oxidation and wash away wear detritus.

Starting air system: Diesel engines are started by supplying compressed air into the cylinders in the appropriate sequence for the required direction.

Marine Boiler

There are two distinct types of marine boilers for use on board ship, the fire-tube boiler and water-tube boiler. The water-tube boiler is employed for high pressure, high temperature, high capacity steam applications. Fire-tube boilers are used for auxiliary purposes to provide smaller quntities of low pressure steam on diesel engine powered ships.
