DIESEL ENGINES FOR PROPULSION AND ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION IN NAVY VESSELS

The application of diesel engines for propulsion and auxiliary power systems in naval vessels involves a number of factors that are not encountered in, or critical to, commercial applications. Typical of these factors are the stringent limits on airborne and structureborne noise and the requirements pertaining to shock resistance. In addition, the load profile in many naval applications is unique, and demands particular consideration in engine selection. For naval applications, it is therefore necessary for the engine manufacturer to be able to offer completely engineered systems to meet the specific requirements of the vessels. By means of data from actual installations, the methods and procedures employed in providing propulsion and auxiliary power systems for naval vessels are illustrated.
