Very clean, informative and (camera~)noiseless. Cheers, mate! Interesting fact about "floating" idle: English Electric had this issue with their locomotive engines, but after some research and few tests, they found out, it's actually better for cold engine to be heated in pulses, rather than trying to "blow thru" in stable revs. So, as a result, they left it as it is, which gave some of the engines a certain charm. (the following vid is a perfect demo of such effect for cold and warm idling) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3vTgpysqcZpg7M P.s. 5:23 ... -Prelubed, warmed up and ready to take the load, Sir! -Copy that, initiate sequence... :P

The EE SVT & Deltic engines hunting when cold is due to the governor operating on oil pressure and flow (and their habit of coming to life one or two cylinders at a time). The governor doesn't react quickly enough when the oil is cold and thick. It gets worse with the number of hours on the governor due to the oil passages slowly clogging. A freshly rebuilt engine and governor will stop hunting fairly soon after all of the cylinders come to life, but one with a lot of hours will hunt until it's properly warmed up.

I deal a lot with deutz engines and they all hunt up a down like that from cold until they warm up. It will just suddenly stop doing it. And if the engine has high hours and worn it will bang upon start up and clatter and bang until it warms up. Quite unique as they have individual cylinder and they can blow out the firing ring. But I also seen a scania to do this. Which was a v8 r620 it would hunt and rough idle. Could drive for a hundred miles and pull in for diesel and it would still do it.

Old Detroit Diesels should settle into a nice, smooth low idle with no more than 2-3 surges. Even in super cold temps. If they do surge the rack isn't synchronized. Good info on these engines because I would assume surging is broken / out of adjustment. Neat video.

No wonder my newby electical engineering intern was cussed out. He was on a summer job where he had to pick up material in San Francisco that would eventually wind up on a remote island for experiments. He needed ships power to test his equipment so he asked the ships engineer to turn it on. He got cussed out for 10 minutes and when it all settled down, there was a moment of silence. So my friend asked "Well, can you do it?" Cussed out again for another 10 minutes and then the engineer went off in a huff and powered it up. At the bar in town that night, he ran into him and the man hugged him by the shoulder and introduced him to the rest of the crew. They were the best of buddies for the rest of the trip.

Blyndem Denkilem Fairly Air tight. We have fire dampers beside the engine air intake and the smoke stack. In the event of an engine room fire it’s one of the deckhands duties to close all the dampers to smother the fire while we fight it. Most modern ships will have a CO2 or halon system.

If it was me I'd put a solenoid valve on the prelube line and a 45 second time delay relay on the pump contactor so all I had to do was push the prelube button for one pulse and not have to hold it down the whole time, or forget to open the valve. Also you change oil every 250 hrs? that motor runs 24-7 doesn't it? So that is a change every 10 days? wow.
@Streaky1000013 жыл бұрын
That would certainly work for a 45 second prelube, but I don't think it's really a timed thing, it happened to take 45 seconds, but if I understand what's happening correctly what he's really looking for is the oil pressure in the engine to reach a certain pressure. I would assume it take about 45 seconds but the exact time will likely vary depending on a number of factors, such as if the engine is completely cold, or still has some residual warmth from it's last run, what the tempreture on the ship is, how many hours are on the engine and prelube pump, etc etc. As for the Oil change on the Newzi, I imagine that will run all the time the ship is away from port yes, however I get the impression this is probably a medium fishing trawler, so it may only spend 3 or 4 days at sea at a time before returning to port power. So although it's 10 days runtime, it may be a bit longer in terms of calendar time.

At the time of filming, we were only shut down for a few hours each night because of our schedule. After offload around 3-4am everything is shut down and transferred to shore power. Then around 5-6am depending on where were going, were starting everything back up again. All crew slept on the boat so we left things that could be left open for like fuel lines and water intakes. electrical is still on so all alarms are active as well. For fuel there are two main valves for port/strb tanks, then a fuel manifold for returns. In operation we monitor fuel levels with a sight glass and switch sides every 4000L or so, keeping the difference around 2000L. Fuel capacity is 8500L/side. As for water there isn't much for the engines as they are keel cooled. The only main water intakes we have are for the fish pump, which remains off until were ready to prime, and the water intakes for the condensers on our refrigerated seawater system. Those go on right after leaving the harbor in clean water. edit: typo

You don't synch the power from the shore to the ships genny?
@EthanLandshark3 жыл бұрын
I dont know what that means so I am going to say no. There is a sequence of breakers to flip but for a brief second between turning the main breakers on and off the ship is on emergency power. Which is why the lights go out.

at 0.59 starter on but decompression lever on also so no pressure?
@EthanLandshark4 жыл бұрын
There isn't a decompression lever on that engine (the Newzie). At 00:59 the button my pushing is the pre lube for building up oil pressure in the engine. a few seconds after I point out the gauge I'm looking at. Once oil pressure is up its just an easy electric push start. The main apparently does have one but I've been taught to use it.

@Bored Guy You 100% know waaay more than me when it comes to engines. If the main engine is under 1000HP you don't need a license to engineer on it. My job is mostly pushing buttons, turning valves and changing oil.

Why are there two engines?
@MrCaptainNObeard3 жыл бұрын
What happens if you don't pre lube the engine? Or if you forget to shut off the pre lube valve?
@EthanLandshark3 жыл бұрын
The engine will start unlubricated, so there will be excess wear and tear on the engine. Forgetting to close the prelube valve just means that oil can flow through the oil pump. That wont hurt anything short term but long term (like doing that everyday for a month) would wear down the pump. :)

What oil temp does oil must be to go from idle to alternator power?
@EthanLandshark3 жыл бұрын
knightrider1545 120 degrees Celsius (around 250 F) Oil needs to reach around 105C (220F) to burn off deposits and accumulated water vapor.
@EthanLandshark3 жыл бұрын
knightrider1545 also, the switch I flip when the oil reaches temperature switches the engine to ‘high idle’, which holds the engine at the proper RPM to run our generator.

I'm not an engineer, but why do you open the Newzi lube line After startup?
@EthanLandshark4 жыл бұрын
At 0:47 I attempt to pre-lube but realize I hadn't opened the pre-lube valve. It then gets opened. After the engine is running I close the valve. At 2:41 while starting the main I make the joke "Remember to open the pre-lube valve" Haha. Hope this cleared things up :D
