NEW MARINE DIESEL ENGINE SYSTEM CUTS FUEL CONSUMPTION-PARTS 1 AND 2

This paper provides much detailed information about the Hitachi B & W twin-bank engine concept. The paper initially describes the twin-bank slow-speed Diesel engine concept comprising two B & W K45GT type engines and outlines its development prospects. Distinctive features of the design are presented. A comparison of the new installation with the principal particulars of some conventional engine types is listed. Reliability and maintenance aspects are discussed. Operational aspects of the low-pressure waste-heat turbogenerator plant and John Hastie single-loop steering gear are described in great detail.
