hydraulics and ships
We all know that a ship is a mobile power plant. It has enormous varieties of machineries for its propulsion, cargo operations, and shipboard safety as well as for maintaining the comfort standards of the crew. In all this wide variety of machinery, hydraulics plays a very vital role. The hydraulic technology is so precise and accurate that they are used in the main engine control and maneuvering systems, too. Let us now discuss on some important hydraulic applications on board ships and a short description of each.
Valves Operation:
Depending upon the type of ship, the cargo equipments and machineries vary. In the of an oil tanker, the main cargo system would include the cargo pumps and the cargo lines which have numerous valves in the lines. It is very difficult and time consuming to operate and perform the cargo operation manually. With the introduction of hydraulic circuits for valve operation, the whole cargo, ballast, and the bunkering operation can be done from just a mimic diagram which is in the control room.
Hydraulic steering fluid is clear, mostly odorless and slightly colored. It is specially formulated with viscosity stabilizers, anti-wear and anti-foaming agents, and corrosion inhibitors. It is the best oil to use in hydraulic steering systems.
If the hydraulic steering oil sample contains dirt or is otherwise contaminated, the entire system should be flushed and the hydraulic oil replaced.
Abrasive dirt is the biggest killer of hydraulic systems, and often comes from debris during the initial installation of the steering system. Dirt or “dust” can enter the system when hoses are cut and fittings installed. It is always best to flush out a steering system before the final hydraulic oil goes in, something to consider when making a repair.
Many marine professionals recommend that the system be flushed out and oil replaced every five years, making sure to bleed the system to remove air bubbles. Many service yards use portable purging systems that make this a quick and foolproof job that takes just minutes.
