STARTING THE SHIP'S MAIN ENGINE

the ship's main engine is a complex machine it relies on its auxiliaries to be able to run auxiliary engines like the generators purifiers and even pumps in this video i am going to show you how the ship's engineers prepare and start the main engine for departure and sea passage [Music] before departure the engineering team is given a one-hour notice to repair the engine the checklist from the company's safety management system or the sms is provided to ensure proper engine preparation the engine departure checklist provides the necessary things to be checked before starting the engine machinery is the place to run during preparation and the crucial parameters to be monitored for an efficient engine operation [Music] to begin the preparation an additional diesel generator is to be started for additional power the generator needs to be sufficiently warmed up before giving load to it when the exhaust gas reaches to about 200 degrees celsius it's time to give load to the incoming generator so this is how we synchronize the two generators no synchronize to generators [Music] additional power check [Music] now turn the engine by starting the training gear [Music] operate the lubricators by pressing the pillow on the lubricator panel this slowly turns the engine and lubricates the cylinder and the piston rings normally this is done for about 20 to 30 minutes [Music] after 20 minutes of turning the engine stop the turning gear disengage the turning gear [Music] open main air supply from the main air reservoir [Music] open the main air starting well to supply compressed air for starting the engine [Music] so [Music] now the main engine is ready for testing before testing the main engine the duty engineering forms the judy officer on the bridge the duty officer then confirms if it's already safe to test the engine the main engine is set to standby mode auxiliary blowers are started to supply scavenging air [Music] it is also crucial to check engine parameters before starting check global pressure jacket cooling temperatures starting air pressures and fuel oil temperature when everything seems to be normal start the engine first by blowing through [Music] [Music] this turns the engine with the indicator opened blowing up any moisture or condensation accumulation inside the cylinders close the indicator comes [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] after testing the main engine on the engine control room side the engineer gives a control over the bridge this gives the bridge full control of the main engine the bridge will also test their control on the head in a stern [Music] [Music] so [Music] oh [Music] 24 [Music] 20 to 24 questions [Music] you
