Designing propulsion systems for ships is a complex matter.
Make yourself familiar with some of the basic design principles of propulsion systems.
MAN has compiled a paper which gives an introduction to the most elementary terms used in ship propulsion design.
MAN has compiled a paper which gives an introduction to the most elementary terms used in ship propulsion design.
Read about ship types, ship’s dimensions and hull forms and learn more about parameters such as hull resistance, propeller conditions and the diesel engine’s load diagram.
This paper will explain the most elementary terms used regarding ship types, dimensions and hull forms, and clarify some of the parameters pertaining to hull resistance, propeller conditions, and main engine capabilities.
The interdependencies between these illustrate the complexity of optimising the hull as well as the interaction with the propulsion plant.
Based on the explanations given, the reader will be able to work through the engine selection spiral introduced in this paper.
This will facilitate selection of the right main engine(s) for the right hull in order to support the ambition of creating a sustainable future.
