Summary: Research of current development of marine propulsion
dieselengines, fired and waste heat auxiliary boilers, fuels appearingon
the world marine fuel market, repercussions on construction, design,
operation control, ecology.Finding out optimal solutionsfor waste heat
boilers' heating surfaces selection, combustioncontrol in fired steam
generators, geometrical configuration ofevaporating systems, concept of
governing and control of ship'ssteam machinery, appropriate software
development.
Research goals: Establishing of optimal limits for utilisation of
heat of exhaust gases on new types of Diesel engines. Development of
numerical methods for calculation and control of steam and water
circulation comprehensive evaporator systems. Establishing of most
convenient methods for engine operation and control, for cleaning equipment
of heating surfaces, developing the basic elements of expert systems for
the control of ships machinery. The aim is to raise safety, economy and
ecology of ships propulsion. Other information about the project.
