Module Marine Piping Systems

The document describes several marine piping systems used on ships, including ship service systems like the ballast system, bilge system, and fire main system. It also discusses mechanical and auxiliary engineering systems such as fuel oil, lubricating oil, and engine cooling systems. Finally, it provides details on domestic systems and specialized systems for different vessel types. Specifically, it outlines the components and operation of fuel oil systems used for powering low and medium speed marine diesel engines.

1. Fuel Oil Systems


 A slow-speed two-stroke diesel is usually arranged to operate continuously on heavy fuel and have
available a diesel oil supply for manoeuvring conditions.
 In the system shown in Figure 1, the oil is stored in tanks in the double bottom from which it is
pumped to a settling tank and heated.
 After passing through centrifuges the cleaned, heated oil is pumped to a daily service tank.
 From the daily service tank the oil flows through a three-way valve to a mixing tank.
 A flow meter is fitted into the system to indicate fuel consumption.
 Booster pumps are used to pump the oil through heaters and a viscosity regulator to the engine-
driven fuel pumps.
 The fuel pumps will discharge high-pressure fuel to their respective injectors.
 The viscosity regulator controls the fuel oil temperature in order to provide the correct viscosity
for combustion.
 A pressure regulating valve ensures a constant-pressure supply to the engine-driven pumps, and a
pre-warming bypass is used to heat up the fuel before starting the engine.
 A diesel oil daily service tank may be installed and is connected to the system via a three-way
valve.
 The engine can be started up and manoeuvred on diesel oil or even a blend of diesel and heavy fuel
oil.
 The mixing tank is used to collect recirculated oil and also acts as a buffer or reserve tank as it will
supply fuel when the daily service tank is empty.
 The Fuel Oil System illustrated in Fig. 1 is used for low speed two-stroke diesel engines,
meanwhile the ones illustrated in Fig. 2 - 6 are used for medium speed four-stroke diesel engines.
 Note that the figure 1 is a Process Flow Diagram (PFD) only, meanwhile the figures 2 - 6 are
already in the form of Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs).
 Fuel oil systems are equipped with various safety devices such as low-level alarms (LAL), Fig. 3,
and remotely operated tank outlet valves which can be closed in the event of a fire, e.g. FO 31-34
in Fig. 2.
