Training Marine Propulsion: Marine Internal Combustion Engines, (sustainable) fuels & emissions (module 2)
The training series Marine Propulsion Systems is a unique technical and international oriented training for those who wish to acquire in-depth knowledge of the design of different marine propulsion systems. The training series consists of 4 modules which can be individually attended. The whole series gives a complete overview of marine propulsion systems. During the second module ‘Marine Internal Combustion Engines, (sustainable) fuels & emissions’ the working principles and characteristics of different types of internal combustion engines, like diesel, gas and dual-fuel reciprocating engines and gas turbines will be discussed.

Objective
At the end of this module the participant will be able to select the right internal combustion engine for a vessel based on the expected operational profile and the different (dis)advantages of different marine internal combustion engines.
Topics
- Internal combustion engines: working principle, indicator diagram, performance, power density, fuel and air consumption, emissions.
- Working principal of 2-stroke vs 4-stroke engines, crosshead vs trunk piston, diesel-, gas- and dual-fuel engines, gasturbines etc.
- Turbocharging: pressure charging, operating envelope, sequential turbocharging
- Air control valves: waste gate, blow-off valve, by-pass valve.
- Thermodynamics: air cycles, otto cycle, diesel cycle, seiliger (dual) cycle, efficiencies, mean indicated pressure, etc.
- Fuels and fuel injection systems: traditional and high pressure injection pumps and injectors, gas injection systems
- Gas and dual-fuel engines: different types, ignition, injection and its influence on NOx and methane slip, knock and misfire, air excess ratio.
- What are the consequences of sustainable solutions for internal combustion engines? And what is the role of internal combustion engines in the energy transition?
- Application of fuel cells.
Target Group
This module is intended for designers and (sales) engineers who deal with the integration or the design of marine propulsion systems during concept design phase. It will also be of interest to people who come across aspects of these systems during their (daily) work and who wish to learn more about the working principle of marine propulsion systems.
Course material
For this training course we use the book Design of Propulsion and Electric Power Generation Systems as a reference. The participants can order the book ‘Design of Propulsion and Electric Power Generation Systems’ by Prof. Klein Woud and Prof. Stapersma (publication by Imarest) and a binder with the lecture slides. These items can be ordered on the registration form.

Shipbuilding for non-shipbuilders
"Training 'Shipbuilding for non-shipbuilders' in! Strength, stability, the bulb, and yes even the 'bitter end' no longer holds any secrets for me!" Maurice Luijten PhD, Liason Officer Top Sector Water & Maritime. If you are technically trained but lack knowledge in the field of designing and building ships then this course offers a good introduction. By attending the course 'Shipbuilding for Non-Shipbuilders' you will learn the outlines of the shipbuilding process and shipbuilding terms. Do you want to increase your understanding and knowledge level about shipbuilding and/or have a lot of customer contact with shipyards or shipping companies? Then you will definitely benefit from this 2-day course.
Maritime Project Management Training
The Maritime Project Management course focuses fundamentally on the professionalization of skills, methods and techniques in project management. The emphasis is on setting up, designing and controlling maritime projects (components, systems or an entire ship) in a practical, manageable way. In good cooperation with all project stakeholders.
