THE FUTURE ENGINE ROOM

In 1984, Wartsila Diesel carried out an extensive study of the future propulsion engine. The study concluded that a medium-speed engine with a high degree of reliability would have the capacity to outdo the crosshead engine as the prime mover in virtually every kind of ship. The study covered machinery concepts for typical ships, cooling water systems, fuel systems, lubricating oil systems, alarm and monitoring systems and maintenance systems. This article presents some examples of the study results.
