Goals and competencies
The student learns the elements of the ship's steam turbine plant and the gas turbine plant and processes that take place in individual components (heat transfer, combustion, evaporation, condensation ...). In addition to this, it also learns the components, the corresponding measurement technique and the procedures for controlling the operation and monitoring of individual parts, of total facilities under conditions of normal operation or accidental operation, as prescribed by the STCW Convention. The subject matter also covers the influence of turbine plants on the environment, the reduction or even the prevention of this effect during normal operation.
Special features:
Implementation of the learning content in accordance with the STCW Convention and recommendations in the IMO Model Course: 7.02 - Chief Engineer Officer and Second Engineer Officer
