ENGINE ROOM VENTILATION AIRFLOW CALCULATION
Base on the following data:
a Main Engine :6000 kw x 2 sets
b Main Generator : 790 kw x 2 sets
c Bulk Air Compressor elect motor : 132 kw x 2 sets
d Bulk Air Compressor air consumption : 27 m3/min x 2 sets

where P
dp
is the service standard power of the main propulsion diesel engine(s) at
maximum continuous power output,in kilowatts;
m
