Marine Low Speed Diesel Engines: Volume 2: Part 17

Marine Engineering Practice Series

This publication discusses the design and operation of crosshead type marine diesel engines.

It covers basic design of the two-stroke cycle crosshead engine, engine construction, monitoring and control, engine selection and installation, engine operation and electronically controlled engines. The text is supported by detailed line drawings that illustrate the mechanics of various engine designs.

It is a useful study guide for those studying for certificates of competency and a source of reference for practicing marine engineers.

It considers the general principles of marine low speed diesel engines and provides examples of engine parts from the three different engine designs.

There is a chapter on engine construction which describes the design and purpose of key engine components, together with their maintenance requirements and common malfunctions. General guidance is provided on engine selection, installation, operation, maintenance and emission control.
