Abstract

581,680. Ships propulsion plant. BAILEY, R. W., and METROPOLITAN-VICKERS ELECTRICAL CO., Ltd. May 16, 1940, Nos. 3010/40 and 6377/41. Drawings to Specification. [Class 110 (iii)] The plant comprises a steam turbine and a diesel engine and both are in operation during normal conditions. The diesel engine may assist in driving the propeller or may be used solely for the ships auxiliaries. The jacket heat and exhaust heat of the diesel engine are used for feed water heating. To secure the best economy having regard to the relative costs of diesel oil and fuel oil in different parts of the world, the power of the diesel engine lies between ten and forty per cent. of the total power of the plant. The turbine condensate is circulated, in turn, through the low temperature half of a diesel exhaust heat exchanger, the diesel jackets and the high temperature half of the exhaust heat exchanger and is returned to the boiler feed-water pump. It may also be passed through an oil cooler. The flow through the jackets may be divided so that water in addition to the condensate may be used and the heated additional water may be used to generate steam. The residual exhaust heat may be used to generate steam admitted to a late stage in the turbine and the exhaust gases may be used to produce forced or induced draught either by driving a turbine blower or by jet action. In one arrangement of plant, the turbine has two shafts carrying pinons gearing with the upper part of a main wheel on the propeller shaft and two diesel engines carry pinions gearing with the same wheel at opposite ends of a horizontal diameter. Specifications 168,705 and 169,275, [both in Class 110 (iii)], and 581,681 are referred to.
