    Im an old us Navy snipe and I watched every second of your video , with starting and stopping 2,5 hours .Thank you so much!! I'll be watching it two or numerous more. I guess I just miss being in engine and boiler rooms. I love the poem THE SNIPES LAMENT. Fair Winds and Following Seas.

    What a great video, thank you Jasper.
    Spent the first 16 years of my working life as a Marine Engineer before coming
    ashore for family reasons.
    12 years on Product and Crude carriers motor and steam, 25,000 - 270,000 T.
    Our 6 cylinder main propulsion were a little larger and slightly slower however
    time and technology marches on.
    4 years on Diving Support vessels.
    Had I remained single I am sure I would completed my career at sea.

    Another thing I like about this video as a friend pointed out is that there is no "narrative" and you hear the operations as they would sound on a routine maintenance inspection. Nice overview of how an engine room actually operates! Cudos to Jasper!

    Great video Jasper! Loved the noise, reminds me of when I was at sea in the late 70's early 80's on general cargo ships (Bank Line). I bet the funnel was hot!
    The main engine looked small compared to our old Doxfords.
    Amazed at the size and space of the engine room, and the electrical workshop! As an electrician I would love to have had a workshop like that. Would love to be back at sea again.
    I hope you have a wonderful life at sea, enjoy it and make the most of it, it will set you up for life.

    Amazing complexity! Who designed this system? Who assembled it? They are geniuses! How do you troubleshoot it? There must be a large crew to handle it, including machinists who can manufacture needed parts if necessary. The designers, assemblers and operators deserve a lot of respect and big salaries! These are the real heroes who risk their lives for the "cause".
    How can one become a chief engineer on a system like this? In my next life I want to be one.

  • @Dave-co1cv

    What is an Escape Trunk? As with all these engine room videos, I keep wondering, "Where is everyone?!!" Do these massive places just run without the need for human monitoring? How many people does it take to know how all this stuff works and how to fix things? Does Mr. Scott really handle everything by himself? Fascinating.

      We use the inert gas system for inerting the cargo tanks. This way there is no explosive mixture of air on top of the cargo inside the cargo tanks.
      Against fire in the engine room we have an CO2 system. With this system we can fill the complete engine room with CO2.

      @whorayful 8 лет назад +1

      +divisioneight Hydraulic oil and painted steel floors are very slippery, there may be some oil mist from tank breathers in the room. The slats give some grip.

    • @gerritmeester3390
      @gerritmeester3390 10 месяцев назад

      They are as a result of the "Amoco Cadiz". Her steering gear failed and the leaking oil caused the steering gear room's floor to be coated with oil. As a result the engineers couldn't reach the steering gear and the ship ran aground off the French coast with a massive oil spill as a result. Since then the steering gears of all ships have to have steel gratings around them, or in this case wooden.

The RPM gauge shown here appears to indicate RPMs in the reversed direction but i find it hard to believe that the engine can actually be reversed. I always thought the propellers were variable pitch and could produce forward thrust by changing the pitch rather than actually reversing direction.

    Ik zag dit een paar keer, maar deze keer merkte ik uit uw monitor in CR dat cilinder liner (jacket) was in rood en het lezen van "0". Waar ging dat over?
    Ook, rpm indicator op de motor de juiste wankelde alsof rpm was niet stabiel (kunnen worden gerelateerd aan rode "0" indicatie voor nummer 4 cilinder jacket?)
    Mooie machinekamer in het algemeen! Dank u veel!

    • @jaspervanstratum
      @jaspervanstratum  10 лет назад

      Well this is not a container ship so its not build for speed so a 6 cylinder is very common on ships of 180 m (Tanker/Bulk).
      The red 0 was a High Temp. Cooling water sensor that just broke. So there is no reading at that time.
      The Engine is running stable.

      This is not 100% true. On board we have 4 engineers and 3 ratings doing maintenance.
      This engine room is what they call "Unmanned", that means that it is allowed not to have someone to be in the ER all the time. This means that at night time there is no one, and that the duty engineer will receive the alarms in his cabin.
      They all work during day and are doing continuously maintenance on all the engines/pumps and other machinery.
      I dont see computers do any maintenance !!. The computers we have are there for the maintenance/planning programs.
      Maybe the Chief Engineers spends most time in the Engine Control Room yes, but he has a lot of paperwork to do. All the others are always working hard outside this Engine Control Room.
      I made the video at night time. I went down with the duty engineer who had to make his evening watch round. He does not like to be on camera though :)

      I guess it's the same thing for the cruise ship,kind of reminds me of "Titanic" the movie while all the people the in cruise were having fun,drinks and why not "sex"
      Deep below the ship an army of workers kept the engine running.Both of you are right more "computers and high tech equipment" may require less workers,but all kind of mechanical devices need manually maintenance and even newest ship of all kind are not exception.

  • @DiMiS08
    @DiMiS08 11 лет назад

    If the engine stays for prolonged time periods at critical rpm the engine will be damaged of even destroyed. This happens because of the tuning of the natural frequency of the engine with the vibrations that the engine has at this RPM.Critical speed is different among engines. All engines have critical speed even our cars, but car engines are high RPM engines, so critical RPM are already overcame when we start our engines at about 1000 RPM.

  • @jaspervanstratum
    @jaspervanstratum  11 лет назад +1

    Hi, Well these 2 stroke engines are made for long continuous running. These engines have a few fixed RPM's ( Dead slow, Slow, Half, Full and Sea ) These are fixed RPM's as you can see at the plate on the engine next to the local engine control. However you can set the engine on any RPM you like. But between 52 and 63 RPM the stress inside the engine is to high for continuously running and can result in some serious damage. Passing these RPM's when speeding up/slowing down is no problem.

I am planning to try to work on board, as of now I am working as a mechanical technician, I also work before as a hydraulic mechanic, And also a machinist by profession and have a year of experience. I need your advice guys, thanks.

    • @Ginandor
      @Ginandor 7 лет назад +1

      The Pumpman was a crew member whose main function was to oversee the operation of the cargo pumps in oil tankers, and be very familiar with the pipework and associated valve systems to allow any of the pumps to deliver cargo from tanks to shore etc. They also had other duties when the ship was between ports and this additional work was usually controlled by the Chief Mate or Chief Engineer. A good pumpman was always an asset as they could be relied upon to operate the machinery in a professional and safe manner. With your qualifications I would think you could cope with the work, but have you not considered a post as a marine engineer? More challenging, but better pay etc!

    HA! I had an idea that came to me overnight, for a ship engine .....cos im thinking about doing an engine room apprenticeship for 3 years ... i realised just how stupid my idea was after watching this ... way too many systems to streamline an engine that can do alot of things efficently in one package and it would be a nightmare to repair if something went wrong on a streamlined packaged aio system
