Electronic Governor and how it is controlling Main Engine Speed

M/E Electronic governor is an Electronic PID controller to Control the RPM of M/E precisely at the set value. It is forming part of the bridge manoeuvring system (BMS). Main parts of an electronic governor are,
Main control unit: This is the CPU based process unit which is controlling the Engine RPM. The inputs to this unit are the speed order signal from the operator, Actual RPM Signal from the Pickups and Scavenging air pressure signal from Scavenge Air receiver. The output signal from this section goes to the Servo controller.
Servo Controller: This unit receiving signal from the Control unit and giving an output voltage to the Servo Motor. This servo motor is regulating the fuel rack to maintain the set RPM by the operator. A feedback signal from a Resolver which is forming part of the actuator will be given to the servo driver to position the servo motor shaft at correct angle.
RPM Pickups: Which are sensing the real time RPM and giving to Main control unit for comparison with set value.
Pressure transducer: This pressure transducer converts the scavenge air pressure to a 4-20 mA signal and giving to Main control unit for regulating the fuel according to the combustion curve stored in the CPU

Manganese bronze is not typically used as a propeller material .Why

1. High cost: Manganese bronze is a costly alloy, making it less economical for large propellers. 2. Low strength-to-weight ratio: Compared to other propeller materials like nickel-aluminum bronze or stainless steel, manganese bronze has a lower strength-to-weight ratio. 3. Susceptible to corrosion: Manganese bronze can corrode in seawater, especially when exposed to high velocities and turbulence. 4. Poor cavitation resistance: Manganese bronze is more prone to cavitation damage than other materials. 5. Difficult to cast and machine: Manganese bronze is challenging to cast and machine, making it less desirable for complex propeller geometries. 6. Limited weldability: Manganese bronze has poor weldability, making repairs and modifications difficult. Nickel-aluminum bronze or stainless steel are commonly used for propellers due to their: - High strength and durability - Excellent corrosion resistance - Good cavitation resistance - Ease of casting and machining - Weldability

MAN B&W MC Engine VIT Pump

The pump is basically a jerk type with a plunger moving in a matched barrel, using two helical grooves machined in the plunger to control the end of injection by uncovering spill ports and causing the discharge pressure to drop rapidly, thus causing the needle valve in the injector to close. Oil is supplied to the barrel via the spill ports and a suction valve. The suction valve, situated at the top of the barrel opens when the pressure in the  barrel falls below the supply pump pressure; i.e. during downward stroke of plunger, while spill ports are covered by plunger. Replaceable erosion plugs  are fitted in the pump housing opposite the spill ports. The high pressure oil, spilling back, as the edge of the helix uncovers the s...

Main engine interlocks

Interlocks are provided so that the engine can be started or reversed only when certain conditions have been fulfilled. When there is a remote control of engines, it is essential to have interlocks. This reduces the possibility of engine damage and any hazards to the operating personnel. Turning gear Interlock . This device prevents the engine from being started if the Turning gear is engaged. Running Direction Interlock . This prevents the fuel from being supplied if the running direction of the engine does not match the Telegraph. Starting Air Distributor in end position . This prevents starting from taking place if the shifting of the Distributor has not been completed. Main Lube. oil pressure, Piston cooling pressure, Jacket water pressure, and important parameters must be above the required minimum. Auxiliary Blower Interlock . The Auxiliary Blower is provided in case of Constant pressure turbo charging. Air Spring pressure Interlock . In case of the present generation...
