- This is the massive 9 cylinder Hyundai - MAN B&W 9L60MC-C7 ship engine with 24000 Hp running at full speed.
It is installed in a RO-RO cargo ship that traffic the mediterranean sea.
A quick tour through the tidy and clean engine room.
Great video of a great massive machine. Thanks for putting it up . .
How can you not love the engine room of a big ship💪🏽
I know a lot of people that went for the bridge because they did not like the engine room.
One of the cleanest engine rooms I`ve ever seen. Kudos to the crew!
That prop shaft is like a massive lathe that would chew you up and spit you out without even knowing it. The mass and torque involved in these systems is amazing and hard to comprehend.
I’ve been on a ship with a 5,000 hp Sultzer 5 cyl engine and can appreciate the engineering and power of these beasts.
Hi Kinghauler. Yes these things are massive. Also check out the video I have of the ultimate beast of an engine. The 108 000 hp monster: th-cam.com/video/rm9SjAJ_ki8/w-d-xo.html
I really enjoyed this.. thank you very much.
Very clean for a 10+ year old machine room! Italian ship?
Really Great, such a large engine producing enough power to propell the large ship.
Really Great Technology
That’s a long prop shaft giggity, giggity, giggity goo👌🏻
very good to see big ship engines running.
Was that a Wooden Door on the Purifier Room ?
THAT is a engine!!!
looks so amazingly clean and tidy????
Well ships with proper crew, have a very tidy engineroom. Simple as that.
Never saw a big diesel that did not leak oil.
so do Hyundai ship engines wear out prematurely and the "vessels" they are installed in will have tons of electrical issues like their cars or did including MAN in the project fix that ?
It's not quite the same without the push-rods and rockers operating the exhaust valves!
I think they're located elsewhere.
@@joewoodchuck3824exh valves are hydraulically opened (large braided hose on top) and closed by air spring.
Will it fit in my 87 Excel?
Yes, but you might have to remove the windshieldwiper fluid tank first. And forget about fitting any headers..
The automotive side of Hyundai needs to take note because there engines aren’t worth a flip.
PS main lub oil pump is numbered “2” How confusing!
American/Japanese number stbd 1 and port 2, Europe/UK the opposite
Port has an even number of letters. Starboard has an odd number. Worked on ships using that numbering convention. Also numbering from bow to stern. No 2 chiller was fitted on Port side while No 3 was on Stbd side
👍Fantastic 👍
Very nice! I always like to see the thrust bearing... is that the one at the first of the video? Thanks for posting.
No Stephen, in two stroke crosshead marine diesel engines the thrust bearing is part of the crankshaft and is located directly forward of the flywheel
@@janvisser2223 thrust bearing for the propeller shaft not for the engine ,, the crankshaft thrust bearing wouldn't be able to take the thrust from the whole propeller pushing against it ,,there are multiple thrust bearings in this shaft
@@wildcoyote34 What kind of engines are you referring to? Talking about four stroke medium speed engines, you are correct. But in all the large two stroke crosshead engines that I sailed with, the thrust bearing which takes the load of the propeller force is part of the crankshaft and is directly situated forward of the flywheel.
@@janvisser2223 most ships need multiple thrust bearings due to the length of the propeller shaft ,both side and end thrust ,,i'm also pretty sure there is a thrust bearing where the propeller shaft transitions through the hull as well
@@wildcoyote34 Ah, after being a marine engineer for 45 years now, I had to think your earlier comment over. But now it is clear for me (I think) That long spinning piece of round stock which can have a length of 100 meters plus, is called the shaftline which consists of several sections flanged (or coupled) together. These are called the intermediate shafts. The last section sticking out of the ships tail is called the tailshaft. You must be referring to the intermediate shaft bearings. These are not meant to take propeller thrust. They only take the weight of the shaft. When these intermediate shafts have white metal bearing shells, only the bottom half is fitted, except for the last section of the shaftline, which is, as mentioned, the tailshaft. Thát supporting bearing does have a bottom ánd top half bearing shell.
Probably takes 5000 horse power just to turn the propeller shaft 😁
😮
8:43 at least have a look in those windows
I tried, but it was too dark. It is the camshaft rotating inside.
@@andresteinum yea I know it's the camshaft, would be great if ou were able to capture it
Why such a long driveshaft?
The propeller is far away
@@bonkeydollocks1879 Maybe I asked the wrong question. I should have asked is why the engine is so far away. Is somewhere other than the stern customary for such placement? I'm not thinking weight balance to be a factor on a big ship, but still possible I suppose.
@@joewoodchuck3824 it is to do with weight distribution yes and locations of exhausts, ballast tanks etc, but I do see what you mean about being such a length, it has to pass through the narrow end of the stern, by the rudder etc, I don't know for sure, I saw one the other day on a scrap beach in India, the engine seemed to be right at the end of the ship
@@bonkeydollocks1879 It could then be a design decision based on the ship's intended purposes. Various cargo weights and configurations, etc.
Inquiring minds want to know!
@@joewoodchuck3824 you've got me thinking now, I'm going to have to Google it 🙈
2 stroke.
Fifty years from now it will be scrap metal.
Fifty years now you'll be a pile of calcium underground, what's your point?
