  • In this video, we're going to take a look at how ship engines are tested. We'll see how the engines are inspected and tested, and we'll learn about the different types of tests that are performed on ship engines.
    If you're interested in ship engines or ship construction, then this video is for you! We'll learn about the different types of ship engines, the testing that is performed on them, and how this testing helps to ensure that the engines are safe and effective.

    There are many inaccuracies with this video. I have Sea trialed approximately 50 ships over a career thats approximately 30 years.

Many ships have conventional boiler and Steam Turbine propulsion plant.

    Actually most nuclear powered ships are submarines; unless you classify submarines as boats. Size isn't the issue with nuclear reactors on ships, the reactors are smaller than the huge diesel engines but there is the steam turbine to consider as well.
    The real reason nuclear has not caught on except with subs, carriers and some ice breakers is that meeting safety requirements and nuclear training for shipboard personnel isn't cheap and paranoia about nuclear power limited their appeal.

    I know of exactly ONE nuclear fueled civilian cargo vessel, that spent much of its career tied up to the dock because other countries wouldn't allow it in. Since WW2 most new cargo vessels have been diesel as well as most passenger vessels, the exception being the US since we don't make any big diesels (12,000+ HP) so we continued with steam turbines that combined high fuel consumption with larger engine crews when compared to the diesels. The result is that there isn't much large shipbuilding in the US and our commercial fleet is very small. The US and the Russians have used a number of nuclear powered military vessels, both surface and submarines, and there have been a handful in other countries. The Russians have several nuclear icebreakers, we don't. We have one operable heavy duty icebreaker that is over 40 years old and a medium duty one that is near twenty, oh, we do have one that is lakebound in the great lakes.

      I was gonna say I don't recall any nuclear powered cargo ships bedsides the NS Savannah. I believe it's a far more advanced propulsion system than bunker fuel/diesel or natural gas. The benefits of being able to go for years without refueling coupled with less pollution seems to be common sense, but unfortunately, I fear "green" activists would never allow such ships to exist. More of a politics issue than a technology problem.

    You need to add some details on how the test bed look like. For e.g. when the engine is being tested @ OEM facility, do they put the engine on any ship or just run them in factory and measure the torque produced?
    During sea trial, is it installed on actual main ship or some test-ship ? What if the sea trial fail, is the engine sent back to OEM for correction ?

    Okay, this is a cool video and all, but there are many inaccuracies, and many where the video doesn't match the words being spoken (the video you showed of a "14 cylinder engine", was an 8 cylinder one), and you said that LNG engines burn HFO, which is not true either, they burn LNG, hence the name. And container ships generally don't use them, they use diesel/HFO engines instead (switching from one fuel to another depending on which area they are in). And basically everything about stability was inaccurate at best. I know that you try to make a video that is sub 10 minutes, that tries cover as many subjects at once. So i get it, you're gonna cut some corners in order to make a smooth video. But the result is so many corners cut that the video is basically misinformation.
    (just to clarify, i still appreciate that you made the video, but as a Marine Engineer myself the inaccuracies hurt a lot)

    The jump from steam for normal ship is steam piston- steam turbine- diesel engine!
    The steam side had a development in I self when the coal was replaced by oil burners . Ther was also coal dust fired boilers ,a mechanical way to blow solid fuel in the firebox .
    The atomic option for non military ship is VERY exotic, virtually non existent! over my head I think there was one experimental atomic merchant ship.and it was not even very useful , was soon scrapped. In ice breakers (Russian mostly ) there are some nuclear ships. and us has a nuclear Class of aircraft carriers.
    And the nuclear submarines ( us / ru).
    the liquid oxygen/ fossil fuel combination using linear wankel engines Has proven to be so silent, that they u boats perform so stealthy ,
    That they can be compared with nuclear u boats. One example is the swedish gotland class sub.
    The "low" building cost compared with nuclear is a good argument also.
    the only real good reason for having nuclear u boats is
    For sailing around with atomic warheads on long secred missions, or shadowing the advertisers strategic U boats; and try to sink them before they launch in a war scenario. (attack subs).
