Practical Marine Engineering for Marine Engineers and Students: A clear, practical guide for license exam preparation.
This edition presents essential concepts for on-board machinery, focusing on how to control and regulate steam, pumps, and refrigeration systems. It explains how pressure reducing valves, various governors, and related components function in real shipboard service, with an emphasis on safe operation and practical application.
What you’ll experience
- Plain explanations of pressure regulators, pump governors, and how to maintain steady, safe steam and hydraulic pressures.
- Step-by-step descriptions of refrigeration machines, including ethyl chloride and sulfur dioxide systems, and the role of compressors, condensers, and brine cooling.
- Illustrative details tied to common shipboard equipment, plus notes on maintenance, fault diagnosis, and routine checks.
- Reference materials that support exam prep for marine engineer licensure without assuming advanced prior study.
Ideal for readers of nautical engineering manuals, this book helps you build a solid, applicable understanding of auxiliary machinery, pumps, valves, and refrigeration in marine settings.
