Ship Engine equipment
The engine room is the heart of a ship, and a variety of equipment in the engine room ensures the normal navigation of the ship and the daily needs of the crew：Main propulsion system and shafting, electric system, steam system, auxiliary power system,water supply system, ship pipe system, anti-fouling system,other tools.
An engine room typically consists of three platforms—the top, middle, and bottom.
The upper platform includes spare components for the main engine, pumps, auxiliary machinery, vessel operation, and tons of tanks and other equipment.
Pumps like the primary engine booster pump and the fresh water condenser pump are located on the middle platform.
You can expect to find the following in the middle platform:
· Main engine booster pump
· Boiler feed pump
· Freshwater condenser pump
· Main engine fuel pumps
· Coolers
· Heaters
Auxiliary machinery such as air compressors, dehumidifiers, and purifiers may also be located on this platform.
Although there typically are no rules, the layout is very straightforward.
Take, for example, generators. This equipment is placed in the middle platform because the raised position helps protect generators from flooding (which most likely will start at the bottom).
The placement ensures that there would be minimal to no immediate shutdown or blackouts within the vessel.
The primary seawater, sludge, refrigerator, and other pumps are on the vessel's bottom platform.
There are many different types of tanks to be found on the bottom platform of a vessel because there are many other liquids that need to be stored.
