Torque Meter as a Tool for Safe and Efficient Operation of Ship Propulsion System

摘要：

In paper the microprocessor torque meter will be described. This device is for measuring of torque, rotational speed, and power at the ship main drive propeller shaft transferred and optionally calculations of the normalized fuel consumption basing upon the engine characteristic. This torque meter is connected to the monitoring system of main engine control room. It may be used for continuous control of operating costs of the ship and for the choosing of safe and best engine operational parameters. It is possible to observe the actual point of engines operational state marked against the mechanical characteristic chart. The limited, safe area of acceptable working points is displayed on the diagram as well. The presented torque meter has possibility to measure instantaneous fluctuations of the torque and engine rotational speed as a function of the shaft rotation angle. The diagrams of torque and shaft speed fluctuations can help in diagnosing the engine.
