2. Oily water separator (marine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oily_water_separator_(marine)

   Bilge water is a nearly-unavoidable byproduct of shipboard operations. Oil leaks from running machinery such as diesel generators, air compressors, and the main propulsion engine. Modern OWSs have alarms and automatic closure devices which are activated when the oil storage content of the waste water exceeds a certain limit(15ppm : 15 cm3 of ...

3. Waterladder pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterladder_pump

   The water ladder was built as an alternative to the paddle wheel to get around the problem that to lift water to a greater height, a bigger wheel is needed. [1] Despite the emergence of new pumps that operate on other principles, the water ladder remains an important tool as some of its other benefits are that they can be built and repaired easily at a very low cost.

4. Pilot ladder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_ladder

   The ladders are made by threading and fixing a series of hardwood, machined steps, each not more than 400 mm × 115 mm × 25 mm (15.75 in × 4.53 in × 0.98 in), onto two pairs of minimum 18 mm (0.71 in) diameter manila ropes, and binding each step to the ropes at 310 mm (12 in) (+- 5 mm, 0.20 in) intervals.

5. Bilge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilge

   Bilge compartment in a steel hulled ship (looking down) Bilge compartment and pump. The bilge / b ɪ l dʒ / of a ship or boat is the part of the hull that would rest on the ground if the vessel were unsupported by water. The "turn of the bilge" is the transition from the bottom of a hull to the sides of a hull.

6. Stuffing box - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuffing_box

   A small boat stuffing box comprising an adjusting nut, a locking nut and a sleeve. On a boat having an inboard motor that turns a shaft attached to an external propeller, the shaft passes through a stuffing box, also called a "packing box" or "stern gland" in this application. The stuffing box prevents water from entering the boat's hull.

7. Maritime hydraulics in antiquity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_hydraulics_in...

   The most prevalent hydraulic pump used in maritime situations in ancient Rome was the bilge pump, which functioned to siphon collected water out of a ship's hull (Oleson 1984). The bilge pump was an improvement on the first hydraulic pumps used in antiquity: force pumps.

8. Stabilizer (ship) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabilizer_(ship)

   Ship stabilizers: a fixed fin stabilizer (foreground centre) and bilge keels (left background). Ship stabilizers (or stabilisers) are fins or rotors mounted beneath the waterline and emerging laterally from the hull to reduce a ship's roll due to wind or waves. Active fins are controlled by a gyroscopic control system.

9. Automatic lubrication system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_lubrication_system

   The automatic lubrication system is connected to a control system via switchs. The control system may involve human input or may be computerised (computer numerical control or CNC). [2] [3] There are advantages of using an automatic lubrication system over a manual system. For example, there are savings in the costs of human resources. The ...
