    The document discusses the basic operations and components of a ship's fuel system. The basic operations are bunkering (receiving fuel), transferring fuel, purifying fuel, and servicing equipment that requires fuel. Bunkering requires care to prevent accidents like fires or oil spills. Fuel is stored in tanks and settles in settling tanks, where gravity separates it into layers. Centrifugal purifiers also separate fuel by increasing gravitational forces. Filters remove dirt from fuel before it reaches pumps and injectors. Pumps pressurize the fuel and valves regulate its pressure before it is delivered to engines and equipment.

    Bunkering
    Bunkering is one process on ship
    which has been the reason for several
    accidents in the past. Bunkering on
    ship can be of fuel oil, sludge,
    diesel oil, cargo etc. Bunkering of
    fuel or diesel oil requires utmost care
    and alertness to prevent any kind of
    fire accident or oil spill.

    Receiving (Bunkering)

    Receiving (Bunkering)

    Transferring

    Storage tanks
    Tanks where fuel oils, diesel or any
    kind of oil is stored and maintaining
    the corrective temperature in each
    individual tanks.

    Settling tanks

    Settling tank
    Settlingis the process by which particulates
    settle to the bottom of a liquid and form
    asediment. Particles that experience a force,
    either due to gravity or due tocentrifugal
    motionwill tend to move in a uniform manner in
    the direction exerted by that force. For gravity
    settling, this means that the particles will tend to
    fall to the bottom of the vessel, forming aslurryat
    the vessel base. Oil-water-sediments

    Purification

    Gravity Separation
    Consider gravity separation, as occurs
    in a settling tank, over a gradual period
    solids such as sludge, dirt, etc., will
    settle out at the bottom of the tank. The
    heavy liquids, such as water, will settle
    out above the solids and the lighter
    liquids, such as oil, will be at the top of
    the tank. The application of heat will
    speed up the separation process.

    Separation occurs due to the


    specific gravities or densities of
    the liquids and solids.

    Centrifugal Purifiers
    In the above case it is gravity that is
    responsible for the settling out and this
    takes quite a while. If the gravitational
    force is increased, by using centrifugal
    force, the separation effect is much
    greater. This is shown in figure below by
    imagining settling tank on its side and
    rotated, which is the basic principle
    ofcentrifugal purifiers.

    Centrifugal Purifiers

    Servicing

    Servicing
    is
    the
    distribution of fuel
    from the service
    tank(heavy fuel oil/
    diesel oil) to the
    equipment/
    machineries
    requiring it.

    BASIC PARTS OF FUEL


    SYSTEM
    Fuel Oil Settling
    Tank
    The liquid ( oil, water and
    sediments) pumped into
    the tank, through action of
    gravity will form the layer of
    oil on top and the heavier
    sediments at the bottom.
    The lower portion are
    drained to the sludge tank
    or to the oil separator for
    further treatment.

    BASIC PARTS OF FUEL


    SYSTEM
    Separator / Purifier
    From settling tank the
    oil is fed to a
    centrifugal separator/
    purifier which further
    remove the impurities
    of the oil

    BASIC PARTS OF FUEL


    SYSTEM
    Fuel Filters
    It removes dirt from
    the fuel oil before it
    reaches the fuel pumps
    and the fuel injectors.
    The filters are located
    between the booster
    and the fuel injector
    pump.

    SYSTEM
    FUEL
    PUMP/CIRCULATING
    PUMP
    It pressurize the fuel to
    about 8 bar through
    the heaters and to the
    engine.

    BASIC PARTS OF FUEL


    SYSTEM
    Pressure Control Valve
    The supply pumps
    raise the pressure to
    about 7 bar. To keep
    the discharge pressure
    constant, a pressure
    regulating valve is
    used.

    BASIC PARTS OF FUEL


    SYSTEM

    Viscosimeter (also
    called as viscometer)is
    an instrument used to
    measure theviscosityof
    afluid. For liquids with
    viscosities which vary
    withflow conditions, an
    instrument called
    arheometeris used.
    Viscometers only
    measure under one flow
    condition.

    HFO HEATER

    The HFO heaters


    can be inline type
    or tank mounted
    type. Generally U
    bundle type heat
    exchangers are
    used for this
    application.

    Q-3
    1. What are the 4 basic operation on our fuel oil
    system?
    2. It is the process by which particulates settle to the
    bottom of a liquid and form asediment.
    3. It removes dirt from the fuel oil before it reaches
    the fuel pumps and the fuel injectors.
    4. It pressurize the fuel to about 8 bar through the
    heaters and to the engine.
    5. Tanks where fuel oils, diesel or any kind of oil is
    stored and maintaining the corrective temperature in
    each individual tanks.
    6. Draw a settling tank and identify the 3 phases w/in
