How does a Viscotherm work?

A viscotherm or viscometer is used to measure the viscosity of fuel oil at the fuel injection system of the engine. It consists of a capillary tube inside of which a gear pump is fitted which rotates at very slow rpm (say 40 rpm). There is an outside casing provided for the capillary tube.

What is viscosity control system?

The Viscosity Control System ensures a consistent fan pattern – even after idle – through the unique design that circulates heated fluid through the applicator maintaining a consistent nozzle temperature at all times. Programmers define the process temperature and the corresponding process limits in EasyCoat® software.

How the flow of liquids controlled in the ships?

All valves used on ships have the basic functionality of regulating the flow of the liquid in the pipes. Valves are used for almost all machinery systems on ships for controlling and regulating fluid through pipes.

How do the fuel oil system works?

– Fuel oil transfer system – This system receives and stores fuel and delivers it to settling tanks. Fuel oils are loaded through deck fill connections that have sample connections provided to permit the fuel to be sampled as it is taken aboard. HFO is loaded in storage tanks fitted with heating coils.

What is HFO?

The generic term heavy fuel oil (HFO) describes fuels used to generate motion and/or fuels to generate heat that have a particularly high viscosity and density. Heavy fuel oil is a residual fuel incurred during the distillation of crude oil.

Why do we mix columns in fuel oil system?

The mixing tank is used to collect recirculated oil and also acts as a buffer or reserve tank as it will supply fuel when the daily service tank is empty. The system includes various safety devices such as low-level alarms and remotely operated tank outlet valves which can be closed in the event of a fire.
