ASPECTS OF VENTILATION PRINCIPLES IN SHIPS MACHINERY ROOMS

Abstract

are designed to circulate the air in the rooms on board, usually without heat treatment or humidity. Ventilation systems consist of machines that provide the energy for air circulation (fans), main ducts connected to the suction and exhaust of the fans, branches and distribution components. For machinery spaces related to ships, ventilation systems are vital for the proper functioning of thermal engines used as propulsion systems. Gas turbines are heat engines used as propulsion systems usually for special ships.
