Year: 2015 Language: english Author: Ranger Hope Genre: Textbook Publisher: - Edition: - ISBN: - Format: PDF/DOCX Quality: eBook Pages count: 192 Description: This book describes the main engines, auxiliary motors and propulsion systems found on small commercial vessels of less than 80 metres (less than 500 tons). Marine engines are described by their crankshafts’ revolutions per minute (rpm) – typically as low speed engines (less than 400 rpm), medium speed engines (400 - 1000 rpm) or high speed engines (over 1000 rpm). As this fleet is principally fitted with high speed diesel inboard engines, or in the smaller craft increasingly with high speed petrol outboard engines, these are described most fully. This text is provided for research and study only on the understanding that users exercise due care and do not neglect any precaution which may be required by the ordinary practice of seamen or current licensing legislation with respect to its use.
