Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for forming functional modules and a method of arranging such modules.
  • Figure 9 is a schematic view of a conventionally fitted out ship's engine room a in which various types of machine or apparatus c are brought into the room a and are arranged on a hull structure b in the room a.
  • Reference character d represents a piping arrangement; and e, a ventilation arrangement or an electric cable arrangement.
  • the machines or installations c are not necessarily installed in accordance with their particular functions and are arranged in scattered or random manner in the engine room a. As the result, when the components of a main engine lubricating and cooling system are to be operated or maintained or inspected, an operator or inspector must walk about in the engine room a, resulting in inefficient operation or maintenance and inspection.
  • the installations c are arranged two- dimensionally over a relatively extensive area on the hull structure b of the engine room a, resulting in ineffective utilization of the space in the room a.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to facilitate the operation and maintenance and inspection of various kinds of equipment, such as outfits, and to enable outfitting to be performed independently of the hull structure, thereby facilitating designing of an engine room or a plant and outfitting and operation of installations or plant elements as well as effectively utilizing the available space.
  • a method of forming modules is characterised by dividing equipment in accordance with their function and accommodating all or some of the equipment with related functions into a frame thereby forming frame module means.
  • the frame module means will constitute one or more frame modules and these may be stacked or otherwise positioned as desired in an engine room of a ship or a plant.
  • the equipment may be outfits, that is to say devices, installations and machines with which a ship is fitted out, or plant elements, that is to say elements, devices or machines which form part of an industrial or chemical plant.
  • the present invention also embraces a method of arranging modules characterised by dividing or classifying equipment according to their function, accommodating all or some of the equipment with related functions in a frame, thereby forming frame module means, and arranging the frame module means in a space which may be within the engine room of a ship.
  • the frame modules with outfits accommodated therein may be sized to be placed between or in place of hull structure block modules and may be replaceably positioned between or in the hull structure block modules.
  • the present invention is particularly concerned with the equipment of the engine room of a ship and the invention therefore also embraces a ship having an engine room including a space which accommodates equipment, the equipment being divided or classified by function into a plurality of groups, each group having related functions and being accommodated in a frame or container to constitute a module, the modules being arranged three-dimensionally, that is to say side by side and one above the other, in the said space.
  • a wide variety of equipment can be modularised.
  • One or more such modules may be arranged in a space side by side and/or one above the other in a replaceable manner thereby facilitating maintenance and inspection of the equipment, facilitating design of the engine room and facilitating fitting out and operation of the equipment and ensuring that the space is effectively utilised.
  • a “module” as described below is defined as a standard unit for facilitating operation, maintenance and inspection, designing and outfitting and for minimising dead space.
  • Figure 1 is a flow chart showing the procedure for dividing the installations or units into modules according to their function, the Roman numerals indicating the conventional classification according to the fluid system.
  • I represents a first fluid system (e.g. cooling fresh water system); II, a second fluid system (e.g. lubricant system); and III, a third fluid system (.e.g. cooling seawater system).
  • first fluid system e.g. cooling fresh water system
  • second fluid system e.g. lubricant system
  • III a third fluid system
  • Each fluid system I,II,III contains various types of equipment, such as outfits or plant elements, with different functions (uses and equipments).
  • the equipment or units in each of the fluid systems I,II,III etc are divided or classified according to their functions A,B,C, etc.
  • equipment having common functions are grouped from the fluid systems I,II,III etc into A function module 1 (e.g. main engine lubricating and cooling module), B function module 2 (e.g. stern tube lubricating module), C function module 3 (.e.g. steam generation module) etc.
  • a function module 1 e.g. main engine lubricating and cooling module
  • B function module 2 e.g. stern tube lubricating module
  • C function module 3 e.g. steam generation module
  • the equipment is divided into A,B,C etc function modules 1,2,3, etc and the equipment with related functions is accommodated in a standard frame with a predetermined size, say, about the size of 20 ft/40 ft container and a frame module is made up. If the units can be accommodated in a standard frame only by dividing them into A,B,C,...function modules 1,2,3,... there is no need to subdivide these function modules, but in the case of a ship, they can scarcely be accommodated into the standard frames even when they are divided into main engine lubricating and cooling module, stern tube lubricating module and steam generation module.
  • each of the function modules 1,2,3, etc may be further subdivided by function.
  • a function module may be subdivided into A 1 function module (e.g. cooling fresh water system) 1-1, A 2 function module (e.g. cylinder oil system) 1-2, and so on.
  • B function module 2 may be subdivided into B 1 function module 2-1, B 2 function module 2-2, and so on and C function module 3, into C 1 function module 3-1, C 2 function module 3-2, etc.
  • the A 1 , A 2 ,...function modules 1-1, 1-2,...the B 1 , B 2 ,...function modules 2-1, 2-2,...and the C 1 , C 2 ,...function modules 3-1, 3-2,... may be further subdivided.
  • the A 1 function module 1-1 may be subdivided into A i -1 function module (e.g., tank module) 1-1-1, Ai-2 function module (e.g. pump module) 1-1-2; the A 2 function module 1-2, into A 2 -1 function module 1-2-1 and A 2 -2 function module 1-2-2 and so on.
  • each function module as described above are accommodated in the standard frame of, for example, 20 ft/40 ft.
  • the combination of the modules varies according to the volumes of the A i -1 function module 1-1-1, the A 1 -2 function module 1-1-2, the A 2 -1 function module 1-2-1, the A 2 -2 function module 1-2-2 etc.
  • the Ai-1 and Ai-2 function modules 1-1-1 and 1-1-2 may be accommodated as a module into a frame to form a frame module
  • the A 2 -2 function module 1-2-2 may be accommodated in a frame by itself to form a frame module.
  • Figure 2 shows a frame module 13 in which the units 12, classified according to their functions by the procedure of Figure 1, are accommodated in a standard frame 11, such as a container.
  • a frame module may be lifted as a unit and a plurality of frame modules 13 are prepared and are accommodated three-dimensionally in a space.
  • Figure 3 shows a first embodiment of the method of arrangement of modules in accordance with the present invention as claimed in claims 4 to 6 and 8.
  • the frame modules 13 of Figure 2 are three-dimensionally arranged in a space 14, such as an engine room as shown in the perspective view.
  • the three-dimensional arrangement of the frame modules 13 is determined by giving full consideration to operational requirements and convenience in maintenance and inspection of the equipment.
  • the various devices and units are divided according to their functions (uses and equipments) and the divided devices and units are accommodated in frames as modules to form frame modules.
  • the frame modules thus made up are three-dimensionally arranged in a predetermined space, having particular regard to function. This will enhance operation of the equipment, facilitate maintenance and inspection and result in effective utilisation of the space. When the performance or functional characteristics of the equipment are to be changed, this is accomplished by replacing the frame modules 13.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show a second embodiment 2 of the method of arranging modules in accordance with the present invention as claimed in claims 4,5 and 8.
  • reference numeral 21 represents the engine room of a ship 22; 23, a space aft of a transverse bulkhead 24 in the front portion of the engine room 21; and 25, spaces inside shell plates 26 near the bulkhead 24.
  • the frame modules are arranged three-dimensionally in the spaces 23 and 25 and are formed similarly to the frame modules of Figure 3 in the first embodiment. More specifically, the outfits having the same functions (uses and equipments) are accommodated in a frame so that frame modules 27 as shown in Figure 4 are formed.
  • Such frame modules 27 are arranged three-dimensionally in the spaces 23 and 25 in the engine room 21 of Figure 5.
  • the three-dimensional arrangement of the frame modules 27 is as shown in Figure 4.
  • the available spaces 23 and 25 are behind transverse bulkhead 24 and part of the internal spaces inside the shell plates 26, as shown in Figure 5, while in the case of a large ship, spaces 28 behind the spaces 25 can be utilised for the three-dimensional arrangement of the frame modules, as shown in Figure 5.
  • the outfits or devices 34 necessary for the engine room 31 are grouped according to their functions (uses and equipments) and are accommodated in frames 32, such as containers, and are utilised into frame modules 33.
  • the frame module or modules 33 are then arranged as a single unit or as two or more units at required point or points in the engine room 31 to complete the outfitting thereof.
  • outfits 34 with related functions (uses and equipments) necessary for the engine room 31 are accommodated in the frame 32, such as a 20 ft/40 ft general-purpose container.
  • Lifting means 35, passage means 36, ventilation means 37, lighting means 38, piping means 39, etc. are also accommodated in the frame 32, thus providing the frame module 33 with the grouped outfits 34.
  • the frame modules 33 for the grouped outfits 34 are arranged in predetermined outfit sections 40 to 49, thus completing the outfitting of the engine room 31.
  • reference numeral 40 represents a propulsion section; 41, a bilge processing section; 42, an oil tank section; 43, an oil processing section; 44, a lubricant section; 45, a steam generation section; 46, a fresh water section; 47, an option space; 48, a seawater section; and 49, an elevator section.
  • the outfits 34 related to each of the outfit sections 40 to 49 are accommodated in the respective frames 32.
  • the outfitting of the engine room 31 is completed by the use of the frame modules 33 with the outfits 34 of related functions necessary for the engine room 31 being accommodated in the frames 32, such as containers.
  • This will eliminate the work of installing the outfits on the hull structure using reinforcement members as in the prior art and eliminate the necessity of adjusting the details of the design and outfitting schedule thus facilitating the handling of the outfits. Since the fitting out can be performed independently of the hull structure by the use of the above frame modules 33, it may be performed in a place other than a module factory or a shore-based fitting out station of a shipyard.
  • the design of the fitting out may be effected using the frame 32 as origin coordinates, thereby enhacing the applicability to other ships. This contributes to the improvement of basic, functional and production design as well as the fitting out process.
  • reference numeral 51 represents a hull structure module which comprises hull deck modules 52 and hull structure block modules (skeleton structure modules) 53.
  • Outfits 56 having related functions are accommodated in the frames 54 which are sized to be placeable between or in place of the hull structure block modules 53, thus forming the frame modules 55.
  • the frame modules 55 are placed replaceably between or in place of the hull structure block modules 53, as shown by the arrow 57 or 58.
  • the hull structure module 51 is thus subdivided into hull deck modules 52 and hull structure block modules 53 which are fabricated separately.
  • the replaceability of the hull structure block modules 53 will expand the engineering range and enhance the applicability to other ships. Subdivision of the hull structure module 51 in fabrication will shorten the time required for fabrication of the modules 51.
  • Outfits 56 having related functions are accommodated in a frame 54 with a predetermined volume to make up a frame module 55 which is then placed replaceably between or in place of the hull structure block modules 53.
  • the replaceable arrangement of the frame modules 55 will widen the engineering range and increase the applicability to other ships.
  • the method for forming modules in accordance with the present invention as claimed in claims 1,2 and 3 has the advantageous effects of improving handling of equipment, such as outfits, and facilitating maintenance and inspection.
