Marine Auxiliary Machine: Sixth Edition explains the correct operation and maintenance of marine auxiliary machinery. The book discusses topics such as the arrangements of the engine and boiler room; pipes and fittings and pumps; compressors and separators; and heat exchangers - its types, control of temperature, and maintenance. The book also talks about other machineries such as diesel engines, steam turbines, propellers, and gears; refrigeration and air conditioning systems; deck machinery; and safety equipment. The text is recommended for engineers in ships who would like to know more about the auxiliary machines onboard ships, how they are operated, and the principles behind them.

Marine Auxiliary Machinery, Seventh Edition is a 16-chapter text that covers the significant advances in marine auxiliary machinery relevant to the certification of competency examinations. The introductory chapters deal with the basic components of marine machineries, such as propulsion system, heat exchanger, valves, and pipelines. The succeeding chapters describe the pumps and pumping system, specifically the tanker and gas carrier cargo pumps. Considerable chapters are devoted to the operation of machinery’s major components, including the propeller shaft, steering gear, auxiliary power, bow thrusters, and stabilizers. Other chapters consider the refrigeration, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The final chapters tackle the safety system of marine auxiliary machinery, particularly the fire protection, safety, instrumentation, and control systems. This book will prove useful to marine and mechanical engineers.

Originally published in the Soviet Union, this book consists of three parts: Marine Fluid-Pressure Mechanisms, Specialized Auxiliary Machinery, and Shipboard Systems.Each part deals with the principles and fundamentals of the theory, design, and operation of a definite group of auxiliary machinery.The theory involved is presented on a level which enables the reader to understand the operation of the machines, to evaluate their operational characteristics, to make verifying calculations and select machinery for specific cases, and also to properly analyze new designs and master their operation. The author regards the theoretical, design and reference material presented as the basis for carrying out normal operation and maintenance of auxiliary machinery, but not as a source providing information on their design or complete calculation.The first part of the book is concerned with reciprocating, rotary, centrifugal, propeller and jet pumps, fans and fluid drives.The second part considers only specialized auxiliary machinery.The third part contains all necessary information on shipboard systems and the special systems of ice-breakers and tankers.
