Marine Diesel Engine Turbocharger

#turbocharger #supercharger #marineengine
Marine Diesel Engine Turbocharger is an integral part of the ship’s marine engine as it reuses the exhaust gases in order to increase the overall efficiency of the engine. The equipment consists of a turbine and blower attached on the same shaft. The rotation of the turbine side as a result of the exhaust gases flowing over it turns the blower and supplies air to the scavenge side.

Turbocharger converts the waste energy of exhaust gas into useful work by supercharging the combustion process, and hence it is important to maintain the machinery.

As a marine engineer working on ships, you would be required to monitor the performance of turbochargers during the watch and carry out maintenance whenever required. This video explains the construction of a marine turbocharger, along with its operation and another important type which is Variable Geometry Turbocharger or VGT.

[brycesp]

this is honestly fascinating as a car enthusiast. It’s just my hobby but.. much bigger 😂

[wagayeemiru]

I really appreciate the way you are sharing your experience .I would like to say thank you.Please would you make a video on air conditioning plant?

[singaporeseaslugs]

Bless these indian teachers, can't understand what my school teacher is talking about and i paid for it lol

[carylicot]

Good morning, how to keep running of main diesel engine under the condition of reducing the number of turbocharger.🙏

[darrylmascarenhas]

Please make a video on K value of turbocharger, as well as other components of turbocharger like Shroud ring, labyrinth seals etc. That would be a huge help.

Hi do u have any video for turning gear overhauling of MAN 9L21/31

[ak-qsst]

Thanks, it is very useful and I got a good understanding about it

[zaheerzaheeruddin]

Marine engine turbocharger fire crackers sound coming what is the reason?. My engine 9 cylinder head. One engine is 3000 horsepower

[KannanSKumar]

Why turbocharger inlet temperature is more than exhaust temperature?

[thezaeq]

what will be the disadvantage of hybrid turbocharger?

[My-Opinion-Doesnt-Matter]

1:00 you mixed the turbine and the impeller ("blower") sides.

[VAIBHAVMALHOTRA]

Forget the LS swap Imma put this engine in my car

[mechanikalkraken]

I have a question for you Bro.... I have twice EMD turbochargers 16-645 E7B & one Turbocharger 20-645 E3. One customer have several problems in his 3 EMD Engines 12 cilinders Turbocharged. Bro....based in your experiences, Can I supply and mount my Turbochargers on these Vessel? Could there be any inconveniences in the oil and fuel consumption of those engines? Thanks for your answer...Best Regards from

Does the compression air pressure remains same through out the all rpm range of an marine 2 stroke engine can you please explain how the air flow to the combustion chamber is controlled when rpm is increased or decrease

[tamilarasan-wjzm]

Why vta turbocharger don’t have auxiliary blower ?

[mdmehedihasanappal]

turbocharger k value any type of vidieo are there

[sparotech]

Why aux blower is not required if vgt is there???
Even during starting we need scavenge air supply so blower must be there but on further load it’s use may not be required because of vgt.
Please someone clarify my statement

[ElChavacano]

So informative, thankyou, can you discuss on your next video the steps and purpose of the synchronization of the generators, it will be a big help 🙏

[dj_laundry_list]

I'm going to put one of those on my civic
