Marine engines are almost always based on an automotive/ industrial counterpart. They are marinated to have a cooling system that uses the seawater to cool them directly or indirectly through a heat exchanger.

Why do you have different types of engines?

Because different engines have different advantages. Steam engines can be run from anything that burns, but are big and heavy. 2-stroke (gasoline) engines has great power-to-weight ratio, but tend to use a lot of fuel and create a lot of emissions. 4-stroke Diesel engines tend to run rougher and don't rev as high as gasoline engines but are more fuel efficient and often have more torque.


What is priming in the marine boiler?

Priming is a carryover of entrained water with the steam into the engines that affect the turbine blade, break cylinder heads, piston, valves.


What is the purpose of fiber reinforced plasitc?

Fibre reinforced plastic is often used in construction, automotive, marine and aerospace. It's made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. Some examples of those fibres are glass, aramid, carbon and basalt.


Why petrol engines are faster than diesel engines?

Petrol engines are widely considered to be the most efficient of engines, because they are more refined than diesel. Since diesel is not completely refined, it cannot completely combust and so does not (in theory) produce as much energy per litre of fuel as a petrol engine. However, some diesel engines can be made to be much more efficient than petrol engines because they have a different type of fuel, and burn it in a different way.

What is the difference between boat engines and auto engines?

Different cooling, different materials, different ECU programming. The engine is cooled by sea water, additionally so too is the exhaust manifold, which is not seen on automotive engines. Stainless steel water transfer pipes are used instead of cheaper rubber or pressed steel for risk of corrosion. The engines are typically designed to run at permanently high revs depending on the marine application.


Does the diesel same as mgo?

No, diesel and MGO (Marine Gas Oil) are different types of fuels. Diesel is used in vehicles like trucks and cars, while MGO is a type of fuel oil used in marine engines. They have different properties and are suited for different types of engines.

What are the different types of diesel engines are there?

In a nutshell, you have highway engines, off-road engines, marine engines, and power generation engines. While the different types might be built on matching blocks, where they're cruised at RPM-wise, the amount of power they produce, and their peak powerbands will vary, as well as the emissions standards which they're subject to.
