The Increase of Operational Safety of Ships by Improving Diagnostic Methods for Marine Diesel Engine
1 Gdynia Maritime University, Gdynia, Poland
ABSTRACT: This article shows the importance of the diagnostic improvement methods of marine engines to boost the economy and safety of operation of marine cargo ships.
The need to implement effective diagnostic methods is justified by presenting statistical data of marine diesel engines failure and the cost of their operation.
Based on the own research has been proven, for the chosen example, that indicator diagrams and analysis of indicated parameters have limited utility in the diagnosis of damages of marine engine, although this is a method commonly used in operational practice. To achieve greater diagnostic effectiveness, when, based on indicator diagrams, are calculated and then the characteristics of heat release is analyzed - net of heat release characteristics and the intensity of the heat release, it was demonstrated. This procedure is particularly effective in the diagnosis of damage of injection system components marine diesel engine.
