Naval Mechanical Engineering

Naval Mechanical Engineering: Gas Turbine Propulsion Auxiliary and Engineering Support Systems is a technical publication for professional engineers to assist in understanding various ships auxiliary systems. You will learn how they are applied to the overall propulsion plant and how the pumps and valves are used in the systems. Since the auxiliary systems vary between ship types you will learn the systems in general terms. The maintenance and upkeep of the auxiliary systems are extremely important since without them the main engines would not be able to operate. You will be presented with some of the various factors that affect gas turbine performance procedures for engine changeout and power train inspection. In conclusion you will learn a few of the maintenance operating problems and repair of pneumatic systems low-pressure air compressors (LPAC) hydraulic systems pumps valves heat exchangers and purifiers. Proper maintenance or repair work consists of problem diagnosis disassembly measurements corrections of problems and reassembly. Use of proper tools knowledge of the construction of equipment proper work site management and cleanliness are keys to successful maintenance and repair work.
