I think this is a repost, but, it's still pretty damn impressive.

I wonder how big that turbocharger has to be? Hmmmm...

ya, i remember this was posted, but it was posted quite a while ago, so i guess for the new members to c...eh. ne ways ya, very impressive.

What gets to me is how efficient it is despite its large size.

Some ricer will try fit it in his Skyline...

i worked on a ship and i seen a 20,000hp 2 stroke twin turbo 6 cyl diesel every day, it had a capacity of around 20,000 litres and ran at 90rpm. stroke was over 2 metres, bore was about 620mm. This engine (and 3 other smaller 2000hp diesel generators) consumed about 50 tonnes of marine diesel oil (lowest in the distilaation process) a day. quite a noisy brute

that stuff those engines use is barely refined crude... we use better stuff than that in our ships. the one i am going to uses jet fuel. most of those huge diesels they don't like to accelerate, just start going one speed, then stay there.

OBSESSED is a word the lazy use to describe the DEDICATED!
if it uses jet fuel, it aint a big diesel its probably a gas turbine, as for where marine fuel oil come from:Originally Posted by cmcpokey

The MV Brasil Star i was on had no gearbox or intermediate drive, the engine just powerd the prop. But the engine had several speeds ranging from 1 to 22 knots. The ship is a reefer (refridgerates) so uses a lot fuel cooling the cargo so a fast ship uses more less because it refridgerates for shorter periods.

correct on the gas turbine. i am going to a frigate, the USS TAYLOR, powered by 2 GE LM2500 gas turbines. i am actually at school in Rhode Island right now learning how to run them.Originally Posted by jediali
not having reduction gears is crazy to me, but then again, our engines spin at a lot higher RPMs.

sounds like you will have a great time. yes gas turbines spin very fast and gain torque through reduction gearing wheras big diesels have a fair amount at the flywheel.Originally Posted by cmcpokey

its like a 450 foot speedboat. much faster than the boiler powered ship i am coming from.

yes, do you know the fuel consumption (tonnes/day) out of interest?
