Primary NOx Reducing Measures

These are measures aimed at reducing the amount of NOx formed during combustion by optimizing engine parameters with respect to emission. Some of the methods are listed below –
A. Water addition:-
  1. Direct water injection:- Greater heat capacity is utilized to reduce high peak temperatures as the water evaporates immediately upon injection. Rapid evaporation of injected water also helps to create a homogeneous fuel-air mixture.
  2. Emulsified fuel or fuel-water emulsion:- It is favored by some manufacturer claiming a clear reduction in NOx emission at low cost with no significant design changes.
B. Altered fuel injection:-
  1. Delayed fuel injection:- Retarded fuel injection timing retards the combustion process. Nitrogen oxide formation occurs later and with lower concentration.
  2. Common rail control:- It has proven to be a very effective way in combating NOx reduction techniques.
  3. NOx optimized fuel spray pattern:- Different fuel nozzle types and model injection also has an influence.
C. Combustion air treatment:-
  1. Exhaust gas circulation:- This is one method of adding dilutants to intake air, reducing the burned gas temperature for any given mass of fuel and oxygen. But it is more practical for engines burning cleaner fuel such as low sulphur and low ash fuel.
  2. Humidifying the scavenge air:- Injection of very fine water after the turbocharger using special nozzles. The fine water droplets evaporate fast and further heat is introduced in the air cooler and humidifies the combustion air. The drawback is too much humidity can be harmful to the cylinder condition.
  3. Reducing the amount of scavenge air, and hence reducing the amount of excess oxygen available for conversion to nitrogen oxide.
  4. Water-cooled rest gas:- In an electronically controlled exhaust valve timing, it is quite easy to leave some of the exhaust gas in the cylinder. This obviously has a negative impact on engine performance, however, this can be dramatically reduced by cooling the rest gas with a water spray, in which case the rest gas accounts for some of the NOx reduction and the water spray for the rest.

Difference Between A, B & C-Class Divisions?

IMO Symbol A Class Division  IMO Symbol B Class Division  SOLAS has tables for structural fire protection requirement of bulkheads and decks. The requirements depend on the spaces in question and are different for passenger ships and cargo ships. The Administration has required a test of a prototype bulkhead or deck in accordance with the Fire Test Procedures Code to ensure that it meets the above requirements for integrity and temperature rise. Types of Divisions: "A" Class "B" Class "C" Class "A" Class: "A" class divisions are those divisions formed by bulkheads and decks which comply with the following criteria: They are constructed of steel or equivalent material They are suitably stiffened They are constructed as to be capable of preventing the passage of smoke and flame to the end of the one-hour standard fire test. they are insulated with approved non-combustible materials such that the average tempera

Load Line & Why it is Important

Merchant ships have a marking on their hull know as the Plimsoll line or the Plimsoll mark, which indicates the limit until which ships can be loaded with enough cargo, internationally, the Plimsoll line on a ship is officially referred to as the international load line. Every type of ship has a different level of floating and the Plimsoll line on a ship generally varies from one vessel to another.  All vessels of 24 meters and more are required to have this Load line marking at the centre position of the length of summer load water line. There are two types of Load line markings:- Standard Load Line marking – This is applicable to all types of vessels. Timber Load Line Markings – This is applicable to vessels carrying timber cargo. These marks shall be punched on the surface of the hull making it visible even if the ship side paint fades out. The marks shall again be painted with white or yellow colour on a dark background/black on a light background.  The comp

Pump Shaft Alignment Procedure

Types of shaft alignment methods: Visual Line-Up Straightedge/Feeler Gauge Rim and Face Cross Dial Reverse Dial Laser Visual Line-Up The visual line-up method is the most common method of alignment. Used in initial installations, visual line-up allows technicians to analyze the working conditions and feasibility of installation. Straightedge/Feeler Gauge Straightedges are used to determine the offset between coupling halves. Corrections are made under all four of the machines feet. Feeler gauges or taper gauges measure the gap between coupling halves at the bottom and top of the coupling. Rim and Face This method is similar in principle to using a straightedge and feeler gauge, but more accurate since dial indicators are used. The rim reading measures the offset between the coupling halves. The face reading measures the angular difference between the faces of the coupling. Changes are calculated with the same formula as the straightedge/feeler gauge met
