The P/T6 Ventilation Control System is designed as a complete engine room ventilation system for use in vessels with an engine space that is well sealed from the interior accommodation spaces and where quiet automatic operation, maximum efficiency and engine room or remote control is preferred.
The P/T6 Ventilation Control System is designed as a complete engine room ventilation system for use in vessels with an engine space that is well sealed from the interior accommodation spaces and where quiet automatic operation, maximum efficiency and engine room or remote control is preferred.
System Description:
Engine room cooling to be provided by a push / pull airflow system with both dedicated intake fan(s) and dedicated exhaust fan(s) to remove convection and radiation heat from the engine room space and maintain a temperature (DT) at or below the maximum limit specified by the engine manufacturer when underway.
Main engine combustion air to be supplied by the intake fan(s) via pressure control to maintain neutral or slightly negative pressure within the engine room, regardless of engine RPM. Cooling/Combustion Air Fan(s), Adjustable Speed Drive(s) & Inlet Opening(s) Cooling and combustion air for operating machinery to be introduced into the engine room space by dedicated intake fan(s).
Fan(s) sizing, flow and performance is critical for proper control system function and proper selection is a must. In addition the Adjustable Speed Drives (ASD) for each intake fan that allow the P/T6 Ventilation Control System to adjust the fan flow must be selected based upon the fan motor voltage, size and horsepower.
