Hi, when I was in navy when the lights went out and emergency power was needed a lot of those procedures would have been by passed to get things back online ASAP. hahaha . Many thanks .

@Genius_at_Work 11 ай бұрын

Well most of them are not all that necessary for such a small Engine, and are more intended to just teach the Procedures. Especially checking the Levels, as these should be already known. Anyway, when starting "my" Main Engine (MAN 6L 58/64) at Work, it's pretty much this Checklist Here for a regular Start, taking about 40 Minutes. An Emergency Start ,e.g. when dragging Anchor, takes 10-15 Minutes, but puts a lot of Stress to the Engine, as it is brought to Speed ASAP without minding Exhaust Gas Temperatures. Diesel Generators start automatically; at best I have to push a Button on the Main Switchboard, but mostly not even that is necessary.

I always wake up at 3:30 a.m. to get the engine up and running so we can go out fishing early in the morning before the crew we work with arrives. I love these engines. Thanks .

Geht aber bergab, so +/- seitdem ich 2019 mit dem Schiffsmechaniker fertig geworden bin. Kurz danach hat die Schulleitung gewechselt, und seitdem kommt mir alles etwas unorganisiert vor. Z.B. steht beim Tankergrundkurs nur "Auf Anfrage", was ja erstmal nicht verwerflich ist. Auf meine Anfrage kam aber erst knapp zwei Jahre später eine Antwort, bis dahin hatte ich den schon längst beim MTC in Hamburg gemacht. Ähnlich lief's mit dem Advanced Firefighting, da kommt auch noch hinzu dass ich den für's Patent gebraucht hab und Monate/Jahre später somit erst recht nix bringt. Mittlerweile steht selbst für Basic Safety Refresher nur noch "Auf Anfrage". Die Schiffsmechaniker-Blöcke laufen noch normal, aber dass die anderen Kurse so ein Chaos sind ist kein gutes Zeichen. Was ich so von meinen Azubis zu hören bekomme muss der Schiffsmechaniker-Unterricht aber noch so gut wie eh und je sein. Dass ich ihnen trotzdem sag, dass Elendsfleth mittlerweile die bessere Wahl wäre (wenn sie denn eine hätten, mein Arbeitgeber schickt die ausschließlich nach Travemünde) liegt aber eher daran dass der Priwall ohne Bermuda und dank diesem Waterfront-Mist einfach kein Priwall mehr ist. Elendsfleth hat immerhin noch die Leuchte, und Rostock-Marienehe ist sowieso Mist.

@@Genius_at_Work ich war 2018, war glaube ich das letzte Jahr des Bermudas, nochmal mit meinem besten Freund da( wir haben uns in der Ausbildung bei Bugsier kennengelernt und kommen aus der selben Stadt). Und irgendwann im laufe der Zeit hatten wir auch mitbekommen, dass Gabelmann das nicht mehr macht. Dass das jetzt so unorganisiert ist, ist wirklich nicht schön, vor allem weil der „neue“ Brandcontainer ja an sich eine geile Sache ist (habe nur in dem alten Container gelernt 2011-2014). Aber wenn man da so ewig auf eine Antwort warten muss, ist das schlichtweg Mist, weil man ja einfach auf diese Lehrgänge angewiesen ist… Wir wurden halt immer nach Travemünde geschickt, weil diese Schule mit Tradition verbunden war. Und wir haben es geliebt. Andere, die mal nach Elsfleth geschickt wurden und danach wieder aufm Priwall waren, haben immer gesagt, dass es nichts besseres gibt als die Seemannsschule Travemünde…Schade, dass sich da wohl gerade ein Wandel durchzieht oder ein Kinken drin ist… Das Wegfallen des Bermudas hat eine große Lücke hinterlassen. Habe vor 2-3 Jahren diesen Klotz auf dem Priwall besucht und per „Zufall“ Melli und Andrea in der neuen Seglermesse getroffen, die waren über die ganze Sache auch nicht erfreut, wie das dort nun aussieht…Aber das ist leider die Macht des Geldes. Bleibt am Ende zu hoffen, dass der Unterricht durch Baum und Co. Weiterhin professionell bleibt und die angehenden Seeleute gutes Wissen vermittelt bekommen, womit sie an Bord gut zurecht kommen. Mittlerweile werden ja wieder SM gesucht, sogar die Laeisz Reederei schreibt ja mittlerweile aus 2014 undenkbar gewesen…Als ich ausgelernt war, wurde man wie … behandelt, daher habe ich auch irgendwann die Branche gewechselt.

I have seen another engine started but it was a U boat engine and the engineer was pretty German so I had to guess what was happening. You captioned the steps well. Marvellous to see these engines preserved and running. I got to see an Alco diesel running as a generator in Outback Australia ( Coober Pedy Power Station) and it was magnificent. So even running ( probably indicator balanced to stop any heavy hitting cylinders from causing pulsing) but it was magic to hear it running.

That's in the Kiel-Wik Engine Museum, not far from Lübeck-Travemünde. I already covered that Engine too, although the Quality of that Video isn't the best. That Engine in Kiel was originall designed as Generator for the Bismarck-Class Battleships and then later used on the Type XI D2 and Type XXIII Submarines, the Engine in Kiel was intended for the latter but the War ended before it could be fitted to a Submarine. It then was salvaged from the Shipyard and used for Decades in a Telephone Cable Hub as Emergency Generator, meaning to say it was only started for regular Testing and thus never ran much but still was excellently maintained. That's why it still was in excellent Condition when Peter Horter (the Guy behind the Kiel-Wik Engine Museum, who you saw in the Video) saved it from scrapping and preserved it in his Museum. Said Type XXIII Submarines were very small and intended for Coastal Operations; they basically were the small "Twin" of the well-known Type XXI Elecric Boats. The Type IX D2 had these MWM Engines as smaller Marching Diesels; the regular Type IX had much larger MAN Engines and the Type IX D2 had an additional Engine Room with two of said MWM Engines. The small Engines were used for Marching at slow Spped, while the large Engines could achieve full Speed. This extended the Range of the Type IX D2 well into the Indian Ocean, and to an Extend even into the Pacific. Regardless, the Procedure for starting all these Engines is pretty much the same.

Early days of diesel. More like a steam engine with injectors. A lot to do on a large marine steam engine to get them ready too. Some even had shims you put in behind the crossheads when they were under way that had to be removed at the end of the voyage or they would jam in place. Early days! Mind you a steam turbine also has a procedure to make it ready before sailing.

Was a field service technician for marine propulsion, marine generators and land based generators. From the oil fields on the North Slope to Mega Yachts and Super Yachts, with everything imaginable in between…that operates on diesel. In watching this, it seems the pre-start checklist is about as hairy as starting jumbo jet. Great job 👍🫡

@Genius_at_Work 10 ай бұрын

Most of the Checklist isn't all that necessary for this Engine, it's more of an Excercise to teach how to operate Marine Engines. Some Students at this Seaman School work on Vessels powered by literal Tractor Engines; e.g. small Ferries or Workboats. I have to follow more or less the same Checklist for starting the much bigger Engines that I operate for a Living; I can mostly skip checking all the Tank Levels as they are constantly monitored, but there also is the Checklist for starting the Pitch Propeller Plant which this Engine obviously doesn't have. Starting "my" Engine usually takes about 30 Minutes, although it can be brought down to under 10 for an Emergency Start (e.g. when dragging Anchor) by skipping a few lengthy Steps like slow Turning or slowly increasing RPM to Service Speed, at the Cost of putting much more Stress to the Engine.

Air Starters as usual on Ships, and driving 400 V 50 Hz Generators made by Hyundai. At Sea, they are usually stopped as the Engines can burn expensive Diesel Oil only, while the Shaft Generator (driven by the MAN I6 Main Engine) is fuelled by cheap Bunker Oil.

@@Unimog1600 There's not much regularity in Tanker Shipping, almost everything is done just by individual Contracts. Regular Lines are more of a Container and RoRo Thing. Probably the most impressive Example of that is when Prices turn negative; e.g. LNG in Rotterdam October 2022, or all kinds of Oil Products in Texas a few Years ago. In both Cases, a huge Amount of Tankers rushed to the Sites, to be paid for "buying" Cargo and then be paid again when selling a few Days/Weeks later, potentially even selling it back to the same Customers who already paid for buying. Bulk Carriers operate by the same irregular Principles as Tankers, though IIRC, the Dry Bulk Market is less volatile than Tankers. Anyway, the Rail Connection between Hamburg and Wilhelmshaven isn't that good, plus all Rail Infrastructure around Hamburg is at or even beyond its Capacity Limits. Although all Port Infrastructure is on the Southern Side of the City, so Trains coming from there can avoid the worst Bottlenecks (Elbbrücken and Verbindungsbahn/Güterumgehungsbahn).

If you're wondering: The negative Prices were caused by the unusually warm October last Year, after Europe has been ordering LNG like crazy. So Tankers were underway to Europe with LNG expected to be used during October, but it wasn't used and instead put in Storage. Until the Storage was full, but Tankers still kept coming for the ongoing "Demand". Unlike Oil, liquefied Gases can't be kept on Tankers indefinietly (or at least LNG; LPG Tankers have Cargo re-liquefication Plants, as LPG is transported at merely -40°C, while LNG is at -160°C), so there was the Problem of where to go with all the Gas. And the negative Prices in Texas 2020 were caused by a Pipeline breaking down, while the Refineries couldn't reduce/stop Production quick enough, so again Storage Problems.

The hand held oiler pumps used for the push rods and rocker arms should have a longer “spout” so that the operator doesn’t need to have their fingers in harms way. One should always look for ways to limit exposure to potential injuries that are so easy to avoid, regardless of the notion of “well, this is how we have always done it”. Improving safety in the workplace is not always obvious to the worker operating the equipment, but it can be improved if one questions every potential operational step that places a workers body parts in harms way. After forty plus years working in the offshore oil industry, I have seen many a competent and self assured worker suffer terribly from very avoidable injuries.

Interesting! But what a faff! Makes you appreciate how easy it is to start most automotive engines these days!

In the movie Das Boot, engine man Johann opens those compression release valves in turn and flames shoot out. He's presumably checking the mixture by the colour of the flame, am I right?
