The training series Design of Marine Auxiliary Systems covers the main aspects of marine auxiliary systems on board of vessels or offshore platforms. During four modules you will obtain an overview of the main auxiliary systems, their main components and the fundamental working principles. Module 1, providing an overview of all relevant aspects of auxiliary system design, has been completely renewed in close cooperation with Simwave. Their interactive machinery room simulation tools will be used for exercises and illustration of the theory.
Each module can be followed separately, but combined they provide you with a complete overview of and the in-depth knowledge required to design all marine auxiliary systems.
Aim
Module 1 is intended to give an overview of all relevant aspects of auxiliary system design: functions, systems, components, layout of systems, pump/compressor and system characteristics and their interaction. The module includes both lectures and practical exercises.
Subjects
Topics include:
- Introduction into systems engineering: Functions, systems, components
- Required knowledge of physics in the second and third module: first law of thermodynamics, ideal gas model, incompressible fluids, fluid mechanics, heat transfer. Architecture of (distribution) systems: redundancy considerations and methods, different types of supply systems
- Systems, considerations and layout
– Propulsion support systems
– Cooling
– Lubrication
– Fuel cleaning and supply (light and residual fuels)
– Starting air
– Survival systems
– Hazard prevention (bilge systems, ballast system, ballast water treatment, inert gas)
– Hazard detection
– Hazard suppression (fire fighting, NBC, escape systems)
– Hotel systems
– Freshwater production and distribution
– Grey water and sewage collection and treatment
– General support
– Fuel loading, transport and storage
– Heating systems (thermal oil and steam)
– Chilled water - System components
– Pump types and characteristics: pump pressure rise for flow type and displacement pumps
– Compressor and fan types and characteristics
– Heat exchanger types and characteristics
– Valves including remote control, flanges - System characteristics
– System impedance
– System impedance versus pump characteristic; determination operational point
– Series and parallel operation of pumps and system branches
Participants are made aware of the cost implications of design choices, allowing them to make cost effective system designs. Thanks to its international setting, the course offers companies in the maritime cluster an excellent opportunity to gain knowledge and to network with colleagues, clients and/or suppliers. This will enable them to enhance their position as a partner in the shipbuilding process.
