do you have a river near that power station? I just wondering is it direct or indirect cooling.

I know this is a hospital, but on our ship we have MaK, its almost the same. Constant revolution at full throttle, 375 rpm.

[vinlien776]

@bigcyz The engines are cooled by a cooling tower. There is no river nearby.

[vinlien776]

1 month to go. Then they will be stoped.

Now we are at 236024 hrs.

[Schlipperschlopper]

hehe great sound!!

[SthealthRaider]

Ugh U dont want your hand in those rockers!!

[kladivous]

Do these have any kind of forced induction? Seems like turbo charging would make sense, even at that size. Where can I find the numbers on a engine like this?

[vinlien776]

Engines are turbocharged by BBC. Size does not matter. There are much bigger ones. The number of the engine can normaly found at the frond of the engine. (Front-ship, turbo-side) We have 2 engines no: 3511 and no: 3512

[kladivous]

Thank you for that. By "numbers" I was actually referring to statistics. I am sure I can search for them.

[regregex]

^^ lol

[tob82]

I sailed for 3 years on a ship with the same engine. Bore 410mm, Stroke 640mm, 4000 bhp. I sailed on a non-rev. 4 Engines, 2 shafts.

[kladivous]

So that comes out to 2400 CI and some change. big engine.

[apprenticemart2]

Ha ha.

Niet goed geld rug, a Nederlander once told me.

[apprenticemart2]

The guy in the white shirt shits his pants.

[vinlien776]

That's me :)

During the start there is an air leak and generates a spray of lub oil. I was saving my white shirt...

[dfwurob]

klinkt nog bijzonder goed voor 216k uren... :)

[huugpiet]

Mooie geluiden van een brokje degelijke techniek.

Prima karren die 410en maarruh de brandstofpompen he dat was soms wel eens een probleem.

[bugsier5]

volgens mij kwam dat meer door de slechte kwaliteit brandstof!

[vinlien776]

Oorspronkelijk werden er Orange pompen geleverd. Deze konden niet overweg met hoge temperaturen en sloegen dus snel vast. Vooral met omschakelen van HFO naar GO. Later zijn Bryce pompen geplaatst en probleem vele malen minder. Natuurlijk stopt er nog wel eens eentje mee. Het moet wel leuk blijven ;)

@vinlien776

216000 hrs, it must have been opened a few times ?

[vinlien776]

@johnsenkenn

1000hrs a smal maintenance.

9000hrs an overhaul

18000hrd a big overhaul.

So it's opend a few times. ;)

[tob82]

i worked for a while on this kind of Engine. same model. and its still working. it was built in 1963 :) so much for reliability. I liked it. sure, its not easy to do maintenance at them. but still, you will get lots of experience....

[VladjoSK]

@vinlien776 How fast do they go? 500 rpm?

[vinlien776]

During start-up 270rpm.

Normaly 600rpm

[krehall]

i assume 1 of 4 generating sets ?

[vinlien776]

No, It is one of two generaing sets for the emergency power of a hospital.

This is the startup after 3 month standing still deu to a fire in the fuel room.

[wettercap]

WOW

[bassponton]

Hoi Vincent,

Altijd leuk zo'n start. kan een kopietje hebben van deze filmpjes? Zou leuk zijn,

Bas.

[Bram550]

Hallo Vincent, Ik had eerst wel beeld maar geen geluid. En daar gaat het toch om! Bleek dat de audio connectors tijdens mijn afwezigheid ware omgedraaid. (Leuk die video's via TV afspelen. Theo r

[Fredje1955]

Was gaaf om na drie weken stilstand weer het vertrouwde geluid te horen
