I don't agree with KZfaq hiding Dislikes; 508 Likes, 30 Dislikes, 2022-09-15. Just so you know what to expect from this Video. Please note that I made this Video while still being a Cadet, so there are some Inaccuracies, and I'm straight up wrong about the "Boiler Feed Water" at 10:57. That's actually the Drinking Water Hydrophore Tank, to maintain constant Pressure on the Drinking Water supply (similar to a Water Tower). The actual Boiler Feed Tanks are one Deck below, around the 12:33 Mark. Because of that, and because of the poor Image+Sound Quality of the Video, I'm "planning" to make a new and better Engine Room Video once I completed studying and work as Marine Engineer again. Until then, the best Video of a modern Ship Engine Room is this one, but it only shows a much, much smaller and simpler Inland Ship: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pMp8eZtm06m5dJ8.html

Engineer now retired. When we went UMS I hated being the duty engineer. Almost every night I had an alarm. Usually in the purifier room. When they went through their cleaning sequence they were reluctant to seal again. They self cleaned every 4 hours and you couldn't alter that. Plus side, day work was great. Great video, well done.

@Genius_at_Work 4 жыл бұрын

Well the typical nightly Alarm on that Ship was high Bilge Levels because the Duty Oiler didn't pump them out. If that was the Case, the Oiler had to go down instead of the Duty Engineer. The Bilges had to be pumped out every couple of Hours because they also collected the Condensate from the Diesel Generator Intercoolers instead of draining it to the Condensate Tank. That's an interesting Approach.

One of the best engine room tours yet, with things clearly labeled. Seems to be a pattern on the big ships: The main engine DOESN'T make the most noise in the engine room -- it's all the other stuff.

@Genius_at_Work 4 жыл бұрын

Well the Main Engine makes sort of the most Noise. More specifically, it is the Main Engine Turbochargers. If it is stopped or running slow you almost don't need Earmuffs anymore. Sorry for the late Reply btw. I already wanted to write this a long Time ago but might have forgotten about it a little bit.

Well they are NOTHING compared to the Turbochargers in my Ecperience. While they may be loud enough that you want Hearing Protection when standing next to them, this Video here doesn't really capture the extreme Noise Level of the Turbochargers

Might have a better Version coming up at some Time. I've also got 360° Shots of most Stuff lying around and want to do a Voiceover Video. Problem is not only that editing the Video in such a Way that there is enough Time to sufficiently explain everything is tideous but also that the Shots of the Steering Gear and Bow Thruster Rooms (they are separate from the Engine Room) got damaged and I am not coming back to that Ship so there is no Chance of doing them again. Hence I can't tell if and when I will upload that Video; maybe I will wait until I complete my Engineer Course in a couple of Years or do a similar Video on a Ferry if I can get a Job in my Holidays and are allowed to film there too. Anyway, Point is that it is worth to stay tuned, I've got some more concrete Ideas for similar Videos that will come up in the next Months.

The Electricity Consumption equals a large Village (1000 Citisens by German Standards). But the Water Supply and especially Sewage Treatment would be totally inadequate. We actually had (I don't work there anymore because I'm studying to get my Engineer Certificate) to be very economical with Water at only 20 Persons as the Fresh Water Generator is a Piece of Junk.

@Genius_at_Work 3 жыл бұрын

It's a Chinese built Piece of Junk. Some of the major Facepalms include the Condensate Water from the Diesel Generator Intercoolers and from the Aircon Condensers going into the Bilge Wells instead of the Condensate Tank so you have to pump them out constantly. The Tank Overflow Pipes go all the Way to the Bottom of each Tank so once it starts overflowing it doesn't stop until the Tank is empty. You usually have 90-120 Seconds before the Overflow Tanks themselves are full and start spilling. That's particulary nasty with Waste Oil and Sludge. Not even to mention how badly everything fits and the rubbish Chinese Plumbing.

Very unlikely, as the only Occasions where that is done is after Drydocking (every 7.5 Years) and perhaps after the extremely rare Event of Cold Layup. Either Way, if I was in board during one of those, I would be way too busy actually doing my Job, leaving No Time to record anything. I might make a Video showing the Procedure with the Engine Room Simulator at the Trade School where I studied Marine Engineering though. I wanted to make that Video while studying, but couldn't find the Time to do so. Perhaps something can be arranged that I could "borrow" the Simulator for a Weekend, I'll have to see to that in the next Weeks.

@@miroslavradonjic9187 Well there are Hatlapa Compressors, Steering Gear and Winches (not in the Engine Room). The Purifiers are GEA Westfalia (can't complain about them) and the Engines are MAN, just built in Korea because it would be insane to ship them all the Way from Augsburg to China. But what I totally forgot about is the Ballast Water Treatment Plant. That Piece of Shit wasn't constantly breaking down but just kept being broken all the Time which made me forget it. Anyway, if you are talking about older Ships you can take a Look at some of my other Videos about German Cargo Ships from the 50s/60s.

Why doesn't main lube oil on most ships not need changing?

Because it is constantly cleaned by the Purifiers. They separate any Dirt and spent Lube Oil from the "good" Oil, and thus the Oil just has to be topped up to make up for the consumed Oil.
