Eighth edition. Elsevier Ltd., 2004. 914 p. ISBN:0750658460.
This eighth edition reflects the generic and specific advances made by marine engine designers and specialists in support technologies— notably turbocharging, fuel treatment, emissions reduction and automation systems—which are driven by: ship designer demands for more compactness and lower weight; shipowner demands for higher reliability, serviceability and overall operational economy; and shipbuilder demands for lower costs and easier installation procedures. A revised historical perspective logs the nautical milestones over the first century of marine diesel technology, which closed with the.
emergence of electronically-controlled low speed designs paving the path for future so-called Intelligent Engines. Development progress with these designs and operating experience with the first to enter commercial service are reported in this new edition. Increasing interest in dual-fuel and gas-diesel engines for marine and offshore applications, since the last edition, is reflected in an expanded chapter. The specification of dual-fuel medium speed machinery for LNG carriers in 2002 marked the fall of the final bastion of steam turbine propulsion to the diesel engine. Controls on exhaust gas emissions—particularly nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides and smoke—have tightened regionally and inteationally, dictating responses from engine designers exploiting common rail fuel systems, emulsified fuel, direct water injection and.
charge air humidification. These and other solutions, including selective catalytic reduction systems, are detailed in an extended chapter. Also extended is the chapter on fuels and lube oils, and the problems of contamination, which includes information on low sulphur fuels, new cylinder and system lubricants, and cylinder oil feed system developments. A new chapter provides an introduction to marine gas turbines, now competing more strongly with diesel engines in some key commercial propulsion sectors, notably cruise ships and fast ferries.The traditional core of this book—reviews of the current programmes of the leading low, medium and high speed engine designers—has been thoroughly updated. Details of all new designs and major refinements to established models introduced since the last edition are provided.
