  • Patent number: 8647162
    Abstract: The invention relates to a machinery arrangement for a marine vessel (1), which machinery arrangement (2) comprises a combustion unit (3), an exhaust gas duct assembly (4), which includes a first branch pipe (41) and a second branch pipe (42) and is connected to the combustion unit for receiving an exhaust gas flow and for leading the exhaust gas flow to the atmosphere, and an exhaust gas cleaning system (5) arranged in a flow direction of exhaust gas. In order to achieve an improved cleaning of the exhaust gas, a fan unit (6) and a first valve means (7) is provided in flow connection with the first branch pipe (41), which is connect to the exhaust gas cleaning system (5).

  • Patent number: 8549848
    Abstract: The invention relates to a machinery arrangement, which comprises a combus-tion unit (3) arranged in an engine room (11), and an exhaust gas duct assem-bly (4) connected to the combustion unit (3) for receiving an exhaust gas flow and for leading the exhaust gas flow to the atmosphere through an exhaust gas cleaning system (5) provided with an exhaust gas pipe (52). In order to condi-tion the exhaust plume, the exhaust gas pipe (52) is arranged in an enclosure (114), whereby the enclosure (114) is arranged in flow connection with the en-gine room (11) in order to provide heat for the exhaust gas pipe (52) by means of a heated air flow from the engine room.

  • Patent number: 4795273
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preventing leaks in a propeller shaft bearing arrangement including a plain bearing (2), which is lubricated with oil or water and which supports the propeller shaft (1) extending through an opening in the body (4) of a hull, and packing members (6,7) for keeping the lubricant in the lubrication space and for preventing water from entering the bearing arrangement. According to the invention, the pressure vibrations occuring in the lubricant are equalized arranging, in the lubrication space, a medium possessing a high compressibility, which medium by means of changes in volume receives and equalizes said pressure vibrations.
