Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide readers with a broader understanding of some technical aspects of the application of state-of-the-art diesel propulsion plant design and operation, with due consideration for reliability and maintenance. Topics covered include: economic factors in the selection of main diesel propulsion systems; developments in the design of diesel engine components, such as reduction gears, elastic couplings, and clutches; fuel selection; noise and vibration reduction; performance monitoring; and maintenance planning.
