THE FUTURE ENGINE ROOM--A NEW DEGREE OF FREEDOM
In 1984, Wartsila Diesel performed an extensive study of the future propulsion engine. The study concluded that a medium speed diesel of high reliability would be capable of outperforming the crosshead engine as a prime mover in virtually every type of ship. The space saved could be utilized in various ways, allowing smaller hull dimensions, larger living quarters, a lower deckhouse, increased cargo space, or improved access for maintenance. The study covered machinery concepts for typical ships; cooling water systems; fuel systems; lubricating oil systems; alarm and monitoring systems; and maintenance systems. Salient points from the study in each of these areas are highlighted.
