Heeeey. I'd love to see more courses related to process Engineering. It could be sizing of tanks, equipment design, material and energy balance maybe. Anyway. Your channel is awesome
I did work on a steering gear from time to time on the same ship. One year 2 ships were docked stern to stern, we had just stepped out of the steering room. The other ship decided to do and engine test while the ship i was on had the rudder completely disconnected. The wash from the other ship flipped the rudder 180 degrees and almost killed the engineer working on the gear. It got wedged up agents the big cylinders and bent a bunch of things. spent the next weekend in there cutting the 1.75" grade 8 bolts with a reciprocating saw, then making new bolts .
Excellent information. What do you mean by "wash from other ship" (while engine testing) because can the propeller be disconnected while engine testing (no load running)? Thanks.
@@cck1496 well they didn't if they could ... this is not the best shipping company lol I'm a machinist not a marine engineer so i really don't know the finer details of that other ship , only walked through it once .

Sir, I wish to congratulate you on your beautiful spoken English Language and carefully chosen words and vocabulary to communicate to the listener, as well as establishing a specific voice style. You are a Gentleman Engineer who is tuned up well in both the language spoken symbols and the real fact engineering static and dynamic functions, selecting the right components to fit the function. You said that this is a simple diagram but it describes a very robust system both in schematic and practical terms. I can see the dump valves complete with a line to the high-pressure pump. What I am admiring most is the piston seal position as it could be maintained rather easier than being on the piston end as found in some other push-pull cylinder systems. In one system I had to introduce baffles and cooling in the settling tank as the dump valves were operating too often and so bubbles needed time to settle and not be sucked into the pump. Many pumps get eroded because of the hydraulic oil not having time to settle in the tank and the bubbles rising to the surface. Just for you to consider including crosshead bearing blocks where you mentioned that a lot of grease is necessary to reduce the pressure on those pins. Please note the propeller blades need to be reconsidered as normally your leading edge is the trailing edge. As it is that propeller will cavitate a lot due to the fact that the apparent entry angle in the leading edge of the blade is lost. I see that on the rudder you introduced one of those propeller hub streamlining devices. Your voice sounds very young but you have accumulated a lot of experience. Congratulations.
Please make a video regarding ship's main engine water cooling and lub oil cooling system. With rhe help of 3D models and cut section view it is much easier to understand complex things 🙏👍.
this was my career with a steering gear manufacturer and with a marine engineering company worked from small to medium to very large but not vlcc class been retired ten years now. The systems I worked on the cylinder rods were pinned to the tiller arm only used the slide type tiller on small point to point ferries.
Awesome video. Your 3D models are very visual, and you give great detailed explanation. I used to be a wheelsman on Great Lakes bulk cargo vessels, so this hits right at home.
I really enjoyed your diagram. Very clever how you did that for showing the different types of valves. You made it easy and fun to learn. I'm Very impressed, good job sir!
Like I said previously, I am not an engineer but required to know about ships occasionally, as part of my profession. I find your videos absolutely enlightening, and, simple and easy to understand. Thank you very much for your series of videos on ships. PS: I think there is a tiny typo error in the angle of movement of the rudder. It seems repeat 35 degrees twice. Thanks again.
Thanks John.I finally got to know how these steering engines worked despite having sailed in over 50 merchant ships in the 1950s to 60s. As one of the aforementioned muscley sailors, we rarely had occasion to enter the steering flat, that being engineer domain. Most ships had this kind of steering equipment, referred to as telemotors but a couple of older ships had steam powered steering engines. Although they did the job, they made a hell of a clattering banging din, and as the steering flat was immediately below the sailors and firemens accommodation, sleep was difficult to say the least. The merest touch of the helm generated bedlam. So thank God for hydraulic steering motors.
You are saviour for marine engineers like me by providing 3d models....u r simply too good....hope to see more detailed videos on marine engineering to clear our concepts....will tell my colleagues to subscribe you like i did.... once again thanks a ton for videos... Just one doubt how bidirectional valve controls i mean how it get signal from to change position
I sailed on a number of very large ships in the late sixties/seventies, for the most part they had steering gear as is your diagram...Usually manufactured by John Haste, (Scotland) even on ships built in Japan. The ships steering wheel on the bridge could be operated either in manual mode ...where you felt hydraulic resistance...or electrically. The former would always return to amidships if you released pressure, the later had to be returned manually. These VLCC ships were quite easy to steer once you got used to the fact they didn't react very quickly to initial rudder movement. Very good explanation of these huge pieces of equipment.
I saw a video of an engineer going through his activities to start up a ship and he goes to the rudder angle indicator, then goes on the radio to the bridge and the bridge moves the rudder and they confirm the rudder moves at the angles and direction the bridge signals and, that the angles and direction shown in the bridge's indicators correspond to the positions shown on the rudder indicator. You can't check the brakes, but you can check the steering before moving.
I’ve been thinking about this for a few days ago, but instead of todays ship, I wondered about the titanic’s way of steering? Especially the poop deck helm at the aft.
Sir you put so much effort for each videos, really appreciate it. By the way, it would be great if you can make a video on Directional Control Valves solely.
There are already many videos on Directional control valves. No need to reinvent the wheel 😉 Here is the link to one such video th-cam.com/video/leCy8Gb2k6U/w-d-xo.html
It is fully possible to adjust the position of a rudder - even on a 200,000 ton ship - manually with the use of pulleys. You would simply need a whole lot of gear shifting or multiple people.
@@carultch It was done by the 20,000 ton heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper after being bombed by the RAF during WWII. So possible, but given that it required a significant percentage of the crew to lean on a tiller, it was certainly not especially effective.
Clear cut conceptual video Will love to see some videos related to LNG carrier ships like difference between conventional 2 stroke engine and MEGI engines or maybe the equipments related to MEGI engines. Love your efforts.
Certainly a more modern steering gear system. While the new directional valves and rudder indicator sensors provide for good control and sensor feeds to remote indicators I still have a soft spot in my heart for the mechanical elegance of a hunting gear controlled system using variable stroke pumps and telemotor receivers. Good introductory teaching video though.
It largely depends on the vessel size but cylinders can be up to 18 inches in outside diameter, are the largest I worked on or can be as small as 50 mm. The largest cylinders I have worked on require a 4 ton chain hoist on an I beam track above them to service them individually.
Great explanation of the workings of these massive systems. 'Just a question from a non-engineer though - why do the systems use tanks of fluid as well as the fluid already in the cylinders? Would it work if you used pumps to just fill one cylinder with the fluid from its opposite partner?
Excellent tutorial video. (@3:00) In the discussion of the tiller and pin being a high friction point that requires "a lot of grease". Are there no roller bearings on the pins? Seems like there would be to extend the life of the tiller running surfaces..."with a lot of grease", too.
Normally the pin has a roller type bearing on it. In fact, the outer ring of the bearing runs in the slot of the tiller. But there are variations in the lay-out
@@janvisser2223 Thanks for clarifying this point. I've worked on a lot of mechanical production line equipment over the decades and every successful cam and roller design mechanism incorporated roller bearings to prevent wear. I can't even imagine the psi of force this rudder control encounters...got to be measured in tons.
Excellent effort to explain the 4 Ram type steering. Next video could be about the Rotary Vane Steering gear. Subsequently, you could add Safematic Steering (IMO requirement for large tankers). Also, the significance of Rudder drop and the Jumping clearance.👌👍
The pump is kept on during the voyage and during manoeuvring both are running. But there are systems were the pumps are powered by VFD’s and run when required by the auto pilot or helmsman.
So this fork thing... It it to get faster responses at small rudder deflections? I am guessing that based on the lever arm being variable length. Longest when the most force is required at max deflection.
Who and how the DCV are controlled......once we achieve the command from bridge how rudder comes to original position.....pls pls 🙏pls pls pls 🙏......make another video with great detail.............you really work hard for ......thanks dear
Please make a 3d animated video on purifiers and air compressor used on ship. It will help me and many other like me who are newly promoted to 4th engineer. Thank you
and how does the rudder and steering gear assembly deals with the reaction or opposing forces caused by the flow of water? the forces must be high, so how these assemblies are mounted on the ship (or how their mountings are mounted), so that they dont get ripped apart during their mode of operation? (or just the massive bed is enough, which is shown here?)
Looking at the scale of things the motors on the hydraulic units would be very large. I'm wondering about the dimensions, weight, HP ratings and electric requirements of those motors. Also looks like the diameter of the rams would be several feet thick.
So im currently in a squall like 120 mph sustained winds and consistant 40 ft crests or air pockets. How do i keep my engines and inverters from flooding or jamming blow outs etc... im on a 350 ft aircraft carrier and looking to upgrading to the PRELUDE once i pick a route and can re pressurize the bow and stern ports... and add an engine system other than that might as well install some masts incase we capsize the air waves could flip me back over like a nice drift soc eh.
How is the interface between the air inside the ship and the water outside the ship sealed when there is a vertical shaft that has to rotate between them?
One small point that I noticed: in the beginning of the video, you have mentioned the electric motors, but not specified what the motors are actually driving? A short description of the main types of pumps would make it clearer: viz. axial piston or radial piston types. Besides driving the main pumps, they also provide the drive for the servo pumps. The oil from the main pumps is sent to the rams, whilst the oil from the servo pumps is used to operate the bypass valves. Also, there are auto isolation valves used to restore steering in case of any leakage ('single failure' is the term used in SOLAS). Maybe you are intending to make another video for these details? 😀
Yeah, there is a lot missing. We could actually make a 1.5 hour video course just about steering gears, its just that my time is restricted a lot at the moment. We have axial piston pumps in the 3D library, but I did not want to mention them because then I would have had to discuss the servo pumps (probably) and the whole momentum of the video slows-down. We will do all of this stuff at some point though.
i am a River Pilot (Captain) on the river Rhine. And we use Rudders up to 90° and this with full effect. Though i got before a bit smaller ship (52m long) where 90°didnt has as much of a turning power, there my experience showed me, that 60° wasth most effective. But that caused of the pecific ruddertype we had. Normal Inland waterway carriers usually use 90° with best effect. Those ships usually are between 110m and 183m long... maybe we use more degrees because we are driving in currents. Or maybe its because the Engine power to rudder size ratio is different than it is by offshore bulk carriers. or can you explainme why this is so?
As the rudder is underwater and the tiller is inside the ship, there would be a significant pressure difference between the two. How is the bearing that which holds the rudder able to prevent water from entering the ship?
Very interesting. But if one section went out how would the seconday piston bleed oil? Wouldnt it place a lot of strain on the one good pump? The oild wouldn't just move right? Is there lije a back up pump on the line? Just curious not a smart ass.
