  2. Combined diesel–electric and gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_diesel–electric...

    A CODLAG system employs electric motors which are connected to the propeller shafts (usually 2). The motors are powered by diesel generators.For higher speeds, a gas turbine powers the shafts via a cross-connecting gearbox; for cruise speed, the drive train of the turbine is disengaged with clutches.

  3. Engine room - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_room

    This design maximizes the cargo carrying capacity of the vessel and situates the prime mover close to the propeller, minimizing equipment cost and problems posed from long shaft lines. On some ships, the engine room may be situated mid-ship, such as on vessels built from 1900 to the 1960s, or forward and even high, such as on diesel-electric ...

  4. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

    Ships propelled by medium or high speed diesel engines may have one or two (sometimes more) propellers, commonly with one or more engines driving each propeller shaft through a gearbox. Where more than one engine is geared to a single shaft, each engine will most likely drive through a clutch, allowing engines not being used to be disconnected ...

  5. Combined diesel and gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_diesel_and_gas

    Some ships even have three different gear ratios for the diesel engines — one each for single-diesel and double-diesel cruises, and the third when the gas turbine is engaged. Such a propulsion system has a smaller footprint than a diesel-only power plant with the same maximal power output, since smaller engines can be used and the gas turbine ...

  6. Integrated electric propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_electric_propulsion

    A turbine-electric system is also possible using gas turbine generators. Some yachts use only gas turbines for integrated electric propulsion without any diesel engines. If electric propulsion is used via electric motor on shaft, or integrated into the main reduction gear driving the shaft, greater power available is realized faster than using ...

  7. A2W reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2W_reactor

    The four propulsion plants on Enterprise each contained two reactors, numbered according to the shaft they powered, 1A-1B, 2A-2B, 3A-3B, and 4A-4B. Each propulsion plant was capable of operating on one reactor plant through most of the power range required to propel the ship at speeds in excess of 33 knots (60 km/h).

  8. General Electric LM6000 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_LM6000

    The General Electric LM6000 is a turboshaft aeroderivative gas turbine engine. The LM6000 is derived from the CF6-80C2 aircraft turbofan.It has additions and modifications designed to make it more suitable for marine propulsion, industrial power generation, and marine power generation use.

  9. Noise and vibration on maritime vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_and_vibration_on...

    Large vessels sometimes use electrical propulsion motors, the electrical power being provided by a diesel generator. Noise and vibration of electric motors include, besides mechanical and aerodynamic sources, an electromagnetic source due to electromagnetic forces which is responsible for the "whining noise" of the motor.
